       7 . The golf club head according to  claim 5 , wherein the non-uniform width is non-uniformly curved.  
   
   
       8 . The golf club head according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one port is non-uniform in height.  
   
   
       9 . The golf club head according to  claim 1 , wherein the length of the at least one port is independently from about 0.1 centimeter to about 10.5 centimeters.  
   
   
       10 . The golf club head according to  claim 1 , wherein the width of the at least one port is independently from about 0.5 centimeter to about 10.5 centimeters.  
   
   
       11 . The golf club head according to  claim 1 , wherein the height of the at least one port is independently from about 0.05 centimeter to about 3.0 centimeters.  
   
   
       12 . The golf club head according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one port is independently from about 0.1 centimeter to about 0.5 centimeter above the bottom perimeter of the sole side of the golf club head.  
   
   
       13 . The golf club head according to  claim 1 , wherein the surface area of the at least one port is independently from about 0.5% to about 8% of the surface area of the face side of the golf club head.  
   
   
       14 . The golf club head according to  claim 1 , wherein the volume of the at least one port is independently from about 0.1% to about 10% of the volume of the golf club head.  
   
   
       15 . The golf club head according to  claim 1 , wherein the width of the at least one port is substantially parallel to the sole side of the golf club head.  
   
   
       16 . The golf club head according to  claim 1 , wherein the club head comprises an extension extending from the sole side.  
   
   
       17 . A golf club head, comprising: 
 opposing sole and crown sides, the opposing sole and crown sides adjacent to opposing proximal heal and distal toe sides;    opposing face and rear sides, the opposing face and rear sides adjacent to the opposing sole and crown sides and the opposing proximal heal and distal toe sides; and    at least one aperture extending a length from the face side of the head to the rear side of the head along the sole side forming at least one port, the at least one port configured to allow the passage of air, and wherein the at least one port independently includes at least one channel on the interior surface of the at least one port.    
   
   
       18 . The golf club head according to  claim 17 , wherein the at least one port is non-uniform in width.
