14. A golf club of the iron type with improved vibration damping and weight distribution, the golf club comprising:
-
a shaft; and
a head having a body, a strike face insert and a vibration damping and acoustic attenuating member;
wherein the body has a back cavity, a front cavity having a third cavity formed therein, an upper aperture formed therethrough communicating the back cavity and the front cavity, and a lower aperture formed therethrough communicating the back cavity and the third cavity;
