• a rear wall lower portion comprising:
• a rear wall lower portion exterior surface;
• a rear wall lower portion interior surface;
• a weight pad formed between the rear wall lower portion exterior surface and the rear wall lower portion interior surface and located proximate the sole, the weight pad comprising:
• a weight pad forward edge coupled to and extending continuously from the rear wall upper portion interior surface, wherein the weight pad forward edge is spaced from the strike face back surface;
• and
• a lower interior undercut extending rearwardly from the weight pad forward edge and between the weight pad and the sole ledge, wherein the lower interior undercut defines a gap between the weight pad and the sole return.
