Abstract
A golf club iron comprising a shaft, a head having a sole, a toe end, and a heel end. The head comprises a striking face and a cavity in the back portion. A vibration dampening ramp bar extends from the lower edge of the cavity and terminates at its lower end short of the upper edge of the cavity with the ramp bar being offset from the center of gravity of the club head. In a set of irons, the distance between the center of the lower end of the ramp and the toe of the iron increases as the loft of the club head increases.
