Abstract
An iron golf club head includes a heel portion, a toe portion, a sole portion, a top portion, a hosel portion, and a striking face having a front surface and a back surface. A peripheral mass is disposed on the back surface, which defines a first cavity. A cantilevered mass extends from the sole portion toward the top portion within the first cavity. The cantilevered mass includes a rear surface, which defines a second cavity in which a weight medallion is disposed. The weight medallion includes a high-density portion and a low-density portion, providing a customizable weighting device for controlling right or left shot tendencies from which golfers suffer. By positioning the high-density portion of the weighted medallion near the heel or toe, depending on the golfer's shot tendency, longer and straighter shots are achievable.
