Abstract
A weighting insert has a plurality of weights installed therein which are arranged in a circular configuration. Certain ones of these weights are made of a different material than the others, such material having a different density, thus making for a substantially different weight. A golf club head has a receptacle in its sole. This receptacle has a plurality of apertures arranged in a circular configuration formed therein. The insert has a key formed therein which is adapted to fit into any one of said apertures. The weighting device can be rotated to position the key in a selected one of the apertures and the insert removably attached to the sole in this selected position. In this manner the weighting of the sole of the golf club head can be varied, as desired. The weights can either be permanentaly installed in the insert or can be removable for selective positioning.
