  • Patent number: 6719641
    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.

  • Patent number: 5467988
    Abstract: A golf club head having improved weight distribution has an integral hollow metal body with a bottom wall including a recessed cavity inwardly of the body throughout an extended area which lies rearwardly of the front striking face and inwardly of the heel and toe such that the ground engaging sole area of the head comprises a front rail portion adjacent the front striking face and side rail portions joined to the front rail portion and extending toward the rear wall adjacent the heel and the toe. The recessed cavity has a size and depth sufficient to result in a concentration of club head weight in the heel and toe areas and to produce an elevation in the center of gravity of the head relative to the ground engaging sole area.
