1. A method of manufacturing a golf club head, the method comprising:
- providing a body portion having a face portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a sole portion, a back portion, and an interior cavity extending between the top and sole portions;
providing a plurality of weight portions;
forming a plurality of weight ports comprising a first set of weight ports located along a periphery of the back portion proximate to the sole portion and extending between the toe portion and the heel portion and a second set of weight ports located along the periphery of the back portion proximate to the top portion, the weight ports of the first set of weight ports being substantially similarly spaced apart, each of the weight ports of the first set of weight ports having a substantially similar port diameter as an adjacent weight port of the first set of weight ports and being separated by less than the port diameter from the adjacent weight port, each weight port of the plurality of weight ports configured to receive at least one weight portion of the plurality of weight portions, the interior cavity being accessible through at least one of the weight ports of the plurality of weight ports, andpartially or fully filling the interior cavity with an elastic polymer material through the at least one weight port of the plurality of weight ports.

7. A method of manufacturing a golf club head, the method comprising:
-
providing a body portion having a face portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a sole portion, and a back portion; and forming a plurality of weight ports located along a periphery of the back portion, the plurality of weight ports comprising; a first set of weight ports located above a horizontal midplane of the golf club head and being proximate to the top portion and extending between the toe portion and the heel portion, the first set of weight ports being substantially similarly spaced apart, each of the weight ports of the first set of weight ports having a substantially similar first port diameter as an adjacent weight port and being separated by less than the first port diameter from the adjacent weight port, and a second set of weight ports located below a horizontal midplane of the golf club head and being proximate to the sole portion and extending between the toe portion and the heel portion, the second set of weight ports being substantially similarly spaced apart, each of the weight ports of the second set of weight ports having a substantially similar second port diameter as an adjacent weight port and being separated by less than the second port diameter from the adjacent weight port, wherein the first set of weight ports has fewer weight ports than the second set of weight ports. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
