6 . The modular golf club head of claim 5 , wherein the first weight angle is about 30 degrees, and wherein the second weight angle is about 30 degrees.
7 . The modular golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the adjustable clamp comprises a clamping protrusion providing a pivot point for the adjustable clamp to engage the movable weight.
8 . The modular golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the weight assembly further comprises a fastener to fasten the movable weight into the discrete selectable position, wherein the fastener comprises a fastener axis that is perpendicular to the vertical direction.
9 . The modular golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the adjustable clamp wraps around a rearward end of the vertical track, and wherein the adjustable clamp comprises a clamping end to fit on a heelward side of the vertical track, and wherein the vertical track comprises an opening to receive the clamping end.
10 . The modular golf club head of claim 9 , wherein the weight assembly further comprises a fastener to fasten the movable weight into the discrete selectable position, wherein the fastener directly engages a part of the movable weight to fasten the movable weight into the discrete selectable position, and wherein the adjustable clamp comprises a clamping through hole to receive the fastener.
11 . The modular golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the adjustable clamp comprises:
a clamping through hole to receive a fastener; and
a clamping end to engage the movable weight.
12 . The modular golf club head of claim 11 , wherein the vertical track comprises an opening to receive at least a portion of the clamping end to secure the movable weight into the discrete selectable position by fastening the fastener.
13 . A modular golf club head comprising:
a body comprising:
a face; and
a back extending rearward from at least a part of the face; and
a cavity between the face and the back;
a toe comprising a toe through hole to receive a fastener; and
a weight assembly comprising:
a vertical track extending from a top of the body to a bottom of the body, wherein the vertical track comprises an opening;
a movable weight installable within the vertical track and movable therein;
an adjustable clamp to secure the movable weight to a discrete selectable position along the vertical track, wherein the adjustable clamp wraps around a rearward end of the vertical track, and wherein the adjustable clamp comprises:
a clamping through hole to receive the fastener; and
a clamping end to engage a part of the movable weight to secure the movable weight into the discrete selectable position along the vertical track; and
the fastener to secure the adjustable clamp.
14 . The modular golf club head of claim 13 , wherein the adjustable clamp clamps in a direction perpendicular to a vertical direction on the vertical track.
15 . The modular golf club head of claim 13 , wherein a fastener axis is perpendicular to a vertical direction of the vertical track.
16 . A modular golf club head comprising:
a body comprising:
a face;
a back extending rearward from at least a part of the face; and
a cavity between the face and the back;
a toe comprising a toe through hole to receive a fastener; and
a weight assembly comprising:
a vertical track extending from a top of the body to a bottom of the body, wherein the vertical track comprises an opening;
a movable weight installable within the vertical track and movable therein, wherein the movable weight is movable along the vertical track;
an adjustable clamp to secure the movable weight to a discrete selectable position along the vertical track, wherein the adjustable clamp comprises:
a clamping through hole; and
a clamping end to engage the movable weight; and
a fastener to secure the movable weight into the discrete selectable position;
wherein the opening receives at least a portion of the clamping end to secure the movable weight into the discrete selectable position by fastening the fastener.
17 . The modular golf club head of claim 16 , wherein the adjustable clamp clamps in a direction perpendicular to a vertical direction on the vertical track.
