The club provides a larger permissible area of impact for striking a golf ball accurately in both direction and distance by having a lightweight upper section and a heavy sole plate section giving a centre of gravity which is low down in relation to the height of the head of the club and which is positioned towards the toe end of the head remote from the entry point of the shaft which is towards the heel of the club. The position of the centre of gravity and the swing weight of the club are adjustable by means of additional weights which may be attached within the hollow upper part of the club.
