1. A golf club head comprising:
- a sole;
a crown;
a toe;
a heel;
a strike face;
an interior cavity at least partially delimited by the sole, the crown, and the strike face;
a junction between the strike face and at least the sole and the crown, the junction comprising a top region and a bottom region, each having a length dimension in a direction from the heel to the toe;
at least one mass disposed entirely within one of the top region and the bottom region, the at least one mass having a maximum true thickness; and
a rib intersecting the at least one mass, the rib having a maximum true height exceeding the maximum true thickness.

-
a sole; a heel; a toe; a crown; a strike face comprising a geometric center, a coefficient of restitution measured at the geometric center, a location spaced from the geometric center a horizontal distance of at least 0.2 inches, and a coefficient of restitution measured at the location, wherein the coefficient of restitution at the location is greater than the coefficient of restitution at the geometric center; an interior cavity at least partially delimited by the sole, the crown and the strike face; a junction between the strike face and at least the sole and the crown, the junction comprising a top region and a bottom region, each having a length dimension in a direction from the heel to the toe; and at least one first rib disposed entirely within one of the top region and the bottom region. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
