Abstract
A golf club has a club head body with a back portion and striking face. A cradle is attached to an internal surface of the back portion, and an elastomer extends from the cradle towards a rear surface of the striking face. The golf club head may also have an adjustment mechanism operatively connected to the elastomer and the back portion of the golf club. Adjustment of the adjustment mechanism causes a change in compression of the elastomer element. The adjustment mechanism may be a threaded element such as a screw, and the golf club head may be a part of a kit included multiple differently weighted screws.
