Abstract

A golf club having a wooden head with the sole plate attached to the bottom of the head by screws, the heads of which screws are exposed, the fastening screws being selected from different materials and, therefore, of different weights for providing the desired balance of the head while at the same time securing the sole plate to the head.

Claims

1. A golf club having a head with a sole plate over its bottom surface, said sole plate having at least three holes, a screw positioned in each of said holes to secure said sole plate to the bottom of said head, each of said screws being of identical physical dimensions but of different specific gravities thereby weighting and balancing the head as desired.
