ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a golf club head, preferably a putterhead, comprising a striking face with an intended strikepoint, and a variable energy absorbing device incorporated such that maximum energy is absorbed when a golf ball is struck on the intended strikepoint and progressively less energy is absorbed as the ball is struck on the striking face at distances incrementally remote from the intended strikepoint along a horizontal axis. In a preferred embodiment, the variable energy absorbing device comprises a viscoelastic absorbing material of varying thickness embedded in the putterhead, the thickness of the viscoelastic material along an axis perpendicular to the plane of the striking face being thickest at the intended strikepoint, and progressively less thick at distances incrementally remote from the intended strikepoint along a horizontal axis.
