Abstract
An improved golf club head is disclosed, in which a desired weight for the head is precisely controlled by installing into a cavity formed in the rear wall of the club head's hollow main body a selected weight cartridge from a group of such cartridges having identical sizes but a range of weights. The selected weight cartridge is installed simply by sliding it into the rear wall cavity, where it is retained by a snap fit, and/or by an interference fit, and/or by a suitable bonding material, without the need for a screw attachment. This greatly simplifies the golf club head's manufacture, thus reducing its cost. The invention is applicable to golf club heads of all kinds, including metal woods, irons and putters.
