    a plurality of discrete attachment locations; and

    a cable,a tensioner operable to increase or decrease tension in the cable, andone or more weights coupled to the cable and securable to or within one of the plurality of discrete attachment locations, wherein each weight is configured to be moveable between the plurality of discrete attachment locations to change a center of gravity of the club head, and each of the one or more weights comprise a weight center of gravity;

    wherein;

    the one or more weights are positioned such that the weight center of gravity of each weight is positioned within 0.50 inch of the perimeter of the club head, when the weight is coupled to at least one of the discrete attachment locations;
