1. A golf club head comprising:
- a face portion including a thickened inner zone, having a first thickness and an intermediate zone, having a second thickness, wherein said inner zone contains a geometric center that approximately coincides with a geometric center of said face portion, anda body portion connected to said face portion,wherein said first thickness is greater than said second thickness, andwherein said face portion defines a measurement zone wherein no point within said measurement zone may have a COR that is less than 93% of a maximum COR within said measurement zone;
said measurement zone defined as a rectangle having a dimension of 0.5 inch by 1.0 inch, with the geometric center of said measurement zone coinciding with said geometric center of said face portion.

Abstract
A metal wood golf club head adapted for attachment to a shaft, comprising of a body portion and a crown portion, each portion constructed of a different density material. Combining a high-density material in the body portion, with a low-density material in the crown portion, creates an ultra-low center of gravity relative to the geometric face center, resulting in higher launch angles and spin rate ratios. The material for the crown portion is preferably a composite. A vibration dampening gasket is disposed between the ledge and lip sections of the body and crown respectively.
