Golf club having removable weight

1. A golf club head, comprising:

a hosel;

a ball striking face;

a sole extending aftward from a lower edge of the face;

a crown extending aftward from an upper edge of the face;

a skirt extending between the sole and the crown;

a weight mount including a support surface and an undercut, wherein the weight mount is disposed on at least one of the sole, the crown and the skirt;

a weight member that includes an angled abutment surface, wherein the angled abutment surface abuts a portion of the undercut, wherein at least a portion of the weight member is received in the undercut;

a fastener; and

a retainer that extends between the fastener and the weight member,

wherein the fastener abuts a portion of the retainer,

wherein the retainer abuts a portion of the weight member that is spaced from the angled abutment surface, and

wherein abutment of the fastener and the retainer forces the retainer toward the weight member and abutment of the retainer with the weight member forces the weight member laterally toward the undercut such that the abutment surface is in forced abutment with a portion of the undercut and such that the weight member is in forced abutment with the support surface by sliding interaction between the abutment surface and the undercut.

2. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the weight member includes a recessed retainer engagement feature that receives a portion of the retainer when the retainer abuts the weight member.

3. The golf club head of claim 1 , therein the weight mount includes a retainer portion that receives the retainer when the retainer abuts the weight member.

4. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the retainer includes a fastener bore, and the fastener extends through the fastener bore.

5. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the undercut is a bevel that is angled relative to the support surface by an acute bevel angle.

6. The golf club head of claim 5 , wherein the bevel angle is between about 25 degrees and about 65 degrees.

7. The golf club head of claim 6 , wherein the bevel angle is between about 35 degrees and about 55 degrees.

8. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the weight member has a generally polygonal perimeter shape.

9. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the fastener is angled relative to the support surface by an acute coupling angle.

10. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the weight member has a mass between about 2 grams and about 30 grams and an equivalent plan area greater than about 200 mm 2 , wherein the equivalent plan area is calculated by a volume of the weight member divided by an average thickness of the weight member, wherein the average thickness is measured between an inner surface and an outer surface of the weight member and generally normal to the outer surface of the weight member.

11. The golf club of claim 10 , wherein the weight member has an average thickness that is less than about 8 mm.

12. The golf club of claim 11 , wherein the weight member has an average thickness that is less than about 6 mm.

13. A golf club head, comprising:

a hosel;

a ball striking face;

a sole extending aftward from a lower edge of the face;

a crown extending aftward from an upper edge of the face;

a skirt extending between the sole and the crown;

a weight mount including a support surface, an undercut and a retainer portion, wherein the weight mount is disposed on at least one of the sole, the crown and the skirt;

a weight member that includes an angled abutment surface, wherein the angled abutment surface abuts a portion of the undercut, wherein at least a portion of the weight member is received in the undercut;

a fastener; and

a retainer that extends between the fastener and the weight member, wherein the retainer includes a fastener bore,

wherein the fastener extends through the fastener bore and abuts a portion of the retainer,

wherein the retainer abuts a portion of the weight member that is spaced from the angled abutment surface,

wherein abutment of the fastener and the retainer forces the retainer toward the weight member and abutment of the retainer with the weight member forces the weight member laterally toward the undercut such that the abutment surface is in forced abutment with a portion of the undercut and such that the weight member is in forced abutment with the support surface by sliding interaction between the abutment surface and the undercut, and

wherein the retainer portion of the weight mount receives the retainer when the retainer abuts the weight member.

14. The golf club head of claim 13 , wherein the undercut is a bevel that is angled relative to the support surface by an acute bevel angle.

15. The golf club head of claim 14 , wherein the bevel angle is between about 25 degrees and about 65 degrees.

16. The golf club head of claim 15 , wherein the bevel angle is between about 35 degrees and about 55 degrees.

17. The golf club head of claim 13 , wherein the weight member has a generally polygonal perimeter shape.

18. The golf club head of claim 13 , wherein the fastener is angled relative to the support surface by an acute coupling angle.

19. The golf club head of claim 13 , wherein the weight member has a mass between about 2 grams and about 30 grams and an equivalent plan area greater than about 200 mm 2 , wherein the equivalent plan area is calculated by a volume of the weight member divided by an average thickness of the weight member, wherein the average thickness is measured between an inner surface and an outer surface of the weight member and generally normal to the outer surface of the weight member.

20. The golf club of claim 19 , wherein the weight member has an average thickness that is less than about 6 mm.
