Abstract
The present invention provides a method for preparing an inlay in golf irons which includes preparing an iron having a large cavity in its back and placing a preselected number of small weights in the bottom inner spline of the club and covering said weights with a first layer of epoxy. A second layer of epoxy having a decorative material included is placed over the first layer shortly after the first layer has set. During the setting of the second layer it is swirled a number of times. A protective coating is applied over the second layer after it has substantially cured.
