The club head further comprises a top surface extending from the top edge of the face to a top edge of a narrow rear surface. The club head further comprises a sole plate having a narrow leading edge extending substantially horizontally from the bottom edge of the face, and a base extending substantially horizontally from a bottom edge of the narrow rear surface, with the base having substantially the same vertical level as the center of percussion. The club head further comprises a plurality of rails extending downwardly from the base of the sole plate, each rail comprising a bottom surface and two side walls connected by the bottom surface, wherein each bottom surface extends substantially horizontally from the narrow leading edge of the sole plate to support the club head when the club head is rested on the ground.

Abstract: A set of iron golf clubs, with each golf club comprising a shaft and a club head. Each club head comprises a sole, a rear surface and a ball-striking face having a center of percussion. Each club head further comprises a first weight provided adjacent the sole and a second weight provided on the rear surface, the second weight comprising at least two rails, with a first rail positioned between the center of percussion and the toe portion, and a second rail positioned between the center of percussion and the heel portion. The weight and width of the first and second rails are progressively varied for each club head in the set. A third weight is also provided on the rear surface of each club head, and may also be progressively weighted. Depending on the particular club head within the set, the third weight may be positioned between the first rail and the toe portion, or between the second rail and the heel portion.
