Abstract
An iron type golf club head includes a body having a front face arranged for impact with a golf ball, a back face, a heel portion and toe portion. A perimeter weighting element protrudes rearwardly from the front face and defines a primary cavity in the back face of the body. The perimeter weighting element includes a top rail and a sole which extend between the body heel and toe portions along an upper portion and a lower portion, respectively, of the body. An interior wall extends from a first end located adjacent the body heel portion through the primary cavity between the top rail and the sole to a second end located adjacent the body toe portion. The interior wall defines a secondary cavity within the primary cavity, and a weight adjustment member is disposed in the secondary cavity. The weight adjustment member is selected from a plurality of weight adjustment members and is used to overcome manufacturing tolerances and to adjust golf club swingweights.
