  • Patent number: 5335914
    Abstract: A golf club having weight members located at the toe and the hosel of a cavity back club head. The toe weight and hosel weight each have a center of mass which is located above a horizontal line drawn through the center of gravity of the club head when the club head is lying at address. In one preferred embodiment the toe weight extends rearwardly from the toe rim of the club head and rearward of a plane containing the rear edges of the club head to increase the back weighting and therefore the dynamic loft of the club head. The hosel weight extends outwardly from the hosel and is located anywhere within a 90.degree. segment of the outer periphery of the hosel. At one extreme position, the hosel weight extends outwardly in a plane which is generally parallel to the leading edge of the club head and at another extreme position the hosel weight extends rearwardly and generally at right angles to the leading edge of the club head.
