Abstract
A head for a golf club, the head having unique weight distribution by means of a window cutout along the shaft portion of the head and, in effect, transferred to the ball hitting portion of the head. Furthermore, the hosel is integral to the ball hitting portion at the lower portion of the club heel spaced from the topline, thereby leaving the entire topline and a portion of the heel adjacent the topline unencumbered by the hosel. The result is a golf club head which is more readily aligned with the golf ball, which has lower radial torque, and which provides more consistent trajectory and distance for off-center impact with the ball.
