Ideally, golf club heads should be made with selective perimeter or heel, head, and toe weighting, adjustable densities, extended-life ball-striking surfaces, specific sonic characteristics, high friction surfaces, high ductility hosel and other desired mechanical properties, and an adjustable center of gravity.
At the present time such characteristics are achieved with varying degrees of success by the following: perimeter weighting and head and toe weighting are commonly used in forged and in investment cast clubs and desired weight distribution is achieved by shaping the club head to produce a cavity in the back of the club thus producing a complex shape known as cavity backed irons. In some cases, particularly putters, a cavity is provided in back of the club which is later filled with higher density metals by leadWe are delighted to invite you to Trunk's first ever special order event with Alden.
