GOLF CLUB HAVING REMOVEABLE SOLE WEIGHT
First Claim
1. A golf club head comprising a hosel, face, crown, skirt, and sole,wherein the sole comprises a plurality of weight cavities and at least a first compliant weight member coupled to a first of the plurality of weight cavities,wherein at least a portion of said first compliant weight member has a basis weight greater than that of the sole, and the first compliant weight member comprises a non-threaded attachment mechanism,wherein said first compliant weight member has a flexural modulus of less than 100 ksi, such that the shape of the first compliant weight member conforms to the first of the plurality of weight cavities, andwherein the first compliant weight member is shaped to complement the shape the first of the plurality of weight cavities.

Abstract
A golf club head is presented comprising a sole including a weight member secured to the sole via a non-threaded attachment assembly. Further, the weight member has a large surface area relative to its thickness, resulting in a chip-like or wafer-like weight member. This design allows the mass of the weight member to be spread substantially along the surface of the sole as opposed to in the interior of the club head. The golf club head may comprise more than one weight member.
