The faceplate of a golf club head includes bars can be individually deflected, without permanent damage, in a direction perpendicular to the impact face when the impact face strikes a golf ball. Each of the bars has a frontwall which extends across the faceplate. When the frontwalls provide the impact face, they can be composed of the same material. Adjacent bars can have sidewalls which are in contact with each other or which are spaced apart from each other.
