ABSTRACT:
An adjustable balance weighting system (10) is provided for adjusting the weighting and balance of a golf club of either the "iron" or the "wood" type in order to encourage the golf club to be in tune with the golfer's swing and/or to correct any deficiencies that may exist therein. An eccentrically weighted balancing disk (32 or 82) is mounted on or in the club head (14 or 74) so as to be rotatable about a first Allen screw (60 or 84) and provides a mechanism by which the center of mass, and therefore the sweet spot, of the club head (14 or 74) may be varied. In the case of an iron-type club head (14), the balancing disk (32) is mounted in a substantially vertical orientation in a cavity (30) on a cavity back wall surface (40) at the rear face (24) of the club head (14). In the case of a wood-type club head (74), the balancing disk (82) is mounted in a horizontal orientation in a recess (80) in the top surface (78) of the club head (74). When adjustment is needed, a second Allen screw (68 or 86) is conveniently loosened so that the balancing disk (32 or 82) may pivot and be turned to a desired orientation, thereby causing more weight to be transferred to either the toe or heel of the club head (14 or 74), as necessary, to correct a "slice" or a "hook," respectively. Provision is also made for the use of the adjustable balance weighting system (10) in the context of the "fitting" of golf clubs so that a permanent adjustment is made.
