A weighting system for an iron type golf club head having a loft angle of at least 12 degrees including a hosel, heel, toe, ball striking face, a center of percussion on said ball striking face, and a complementary rear face, the weighting system comprising:
- a peripheral mass formed on the heel, toe, upper surface, and lower surface portions of the outer periphery or said rear face of the club head;
- said peripheral mass defining a cavity located on said rear face of the club head and providing a perimeter weighting for the club head, said cavity having side walls extending outwardly from said complementary rear face;
- and
- a significant weight member formed completely within said cavity and spaced from said cavity side walls and located on said complementary rear race overlapping said center of percussion;
- said weight member being further characterized by a raised surface extending rearwardly from said rear face to at least substantial alignment with the rearmost surface of the upper surface portion of the peripheral mass.
