Claim Text:
1. A golf club head, comprising: a body having a face, a sole, a crown, and a skirt joining said face, sole, and crown, the body having a center of gravity; wherein said body comprises a coordinate system with an x-axis located horizontal to said face, a y-axis located vertical to said face, and a z-axis located through said face; and a weight system configured to adjust the location of said center of gravity of said body; wherein said weight system comprises: an adjustable weight comprising an aperture, said aperture dimensioned to receive a fastener; a threaded bore formed in said sole, said threaded bore configured to receive a fastener; and a fastener configured to pass through said aperture of said adjustable weight and engage said threaded bore, wherein rotation of said fastener in a first direction locks said adjustable weight into a locked position, preventing said adjustable weight from rotating relative to said body; wherein rotation of said fastener in a second direction, opposite said first direction, unlocks said adjustable weight into an unlocked position and allows said adjustable weight to rotate about said fastener, wherein said adjustable weight can be unlocked and rotated without completely removing said fastener from said threaded bore; wherein rotation of said adjustable weight alters said location of said center of gravity of said body; wherein said adjustable weight comprises a first engaging arm and a second engaging arm, each engaging arm comprising a proximal portion and a distal portion, said proximal portions adjacent said aperture, said engaging arms extending outwards from said aperture substantially along said sole of said body, terminating at said distal portions of said engaging arms; wherein said first engaging arm comprises a first weight portion and said second engaging arm comprises a second weight portion, wherein said first weight portion comprises a different mass than said second weight portion; wherein said first weight portion is affixed to said distal portion of said first engaging arm and said second weight portion is affixed to said distal portion of said second engaging arm; wherein said sole of said golf club head comprises a first engagement member and a second engagement member, said first and second engagement members adapted to engage any one of said engaging arms when said adjustable weight is in said locked position, said first and second engagement members preventing said adjustable weight from rotating relative to said body; wherein said first and second engagement members comprise recesses formed in said sole of said body dimensioned to receive said distal portions of said engaging arms; wherein said rotation of said fastener in said first direction forces said proximal portions of said engaging arms to move towards said sole, said engaging arms to deflect, and said distal portions of said engaging arms to extend outwards away from said fastener, substantially parallel to said sole of said body, and, provided said engaging arms are aligned with said engagement members, said rotation of said fastener in said first direction forces said distal portions of said engaging arms to protrude into said recesses of said engagement members, and wherein said rotation of said fastener in said second direction allows said proximal portions of said engaging arms to extend away from said sole and said distal portions of said adjustable weight to retract inwards towards said fastener, substantially parallel to said sole of said body, disengaging said engaging arms from said engagement members.
