said body including a first chamber in a heel side of said body extending from said heel portion of said skirt into said body and a second chamber in a toe side of said body extending from said toe portion of said skirt into said body;
a first weight member coupled within said first chamber; and
a second weight member coupled within said second chamber; wherein:
one of said chambers is located closer to said face than the other of said chambers; and
said first weight member has a mass from 25 grams to 50 grams and said second weight member has a mass from 1 gram to 25 grams.
2. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein said chambers are accessible from outside said body.
3. The golf club head of claim 2 , wherein said chambers extend longitudinally into said body substantially parallel to said face.
4. The golf club head of claim 2 , wherein said chambers extend inward from said skirt.
5. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein said interior volume has a volume from 100 cubic centimeters to 250 cubic centimeters.
6. The golf club head of claim 5 , wherein said interior volume has a volume from 150 cubic centimeters to 200 cubic centimeters.
7. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein said face is a face insert coupled to said body.
8. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first and second weight members comprises tungsten.
9. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein said first weight member has a mass from 1 gram to 50 grams and said second weight member has a mass from 1 gram to 50 grams.
10. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the golf club head has a center of gravity located from 10 millimeters to 50 millimeters behind said face.
11. The golf club head of claim 10 , wherein the golf club head has a center of gravity located from 20 millimeters to 35 millimeters behind said face.
12. The golf club head of claim 1 , further comprising a third weight member coupled to said sole.
13. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein:
said first chamber is not longitudinally aligned with at least one chamber in said toe; and
said second chamber is not longitudinally aligned with at least one chamber in said heel.
14. A wood-type golf club head, comprising:
a body including a face, a sole, a crown, and a skirt, the body having a toe and a heel, the body defining an interior volume, wherein the body comprises:
a first chamber in a heel side of the body extending from the heel into the body, wherein a first weight member is coupled within the first chamber;
a second chamber in a toe side of the body extending from the toe into the body, wherein a second weight member is coupled within the second chamber; and
wherein one of the first or second chambers is located closer to the face than the other of the chambers, and wherein the chambers extend inward from the skirt; and
the first weight member has a first mass and the second weight member has a second mass less than the first mass.
15. The golf club head of claim 14 , wherein the first mass is from 25 grams to 50 grams and the second mass is from 1 gram to 25 grams.
16. The golf club head of claim 14 , wherein the body further comprises a third weight member.
17. The golf club head of claim 16 , wherein the third weight is in the sole.
