         2 . The iron golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the weight is welded to the main body around greater than 90 degrees of the perimeter of the weight but less than 270 degrees of the perimeter of the weight. 
     
     
         3 . The iron golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the weight is welded to the main body along a portion of the weight first side, along the weight top, and along a portion of the weight second side, wherein the weight first side is disposed proximate the toe, the weight top is disposed proximate the top, and the weight second side is disposed proximate the heel. 
     
     
         4 . The iron golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the weight is welded to the main body along at least a portion of the weight back, wherein the weight back is disposed proximate the back face. 
     
     
         5 . The iron golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the back face comprises a hollow back-side wall partially defining the hollow, the hollow back-side wall comprising a recess. 
     
     
         6 . The iron golf club head of  claim 5 , wherein the weight is disposed at least partially within the recess. 
     
     
         7 . The iron golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the weight comprises tungsten and nickel. 
     
     
         8 . The iron golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises steel. 
     
     
         9 . The iron golf club head of  claim 1 , where the main body further comprises a front main body and a back main body, wherein the front main body is welded to the back main body. 
     
     
         10 . The iron golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the first gap is configured to allow the sole to flex without contacting the weight. 
     
     
         11 . The iron golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the second gap is configured to allow the face to deflect without contacting the weight. 
     
     
         12 . The iron golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the weight is approximately 46 grams. 
     
     
         13 . An iron golf club head comprising:
 a main body defining a hollow, the main body including a toe, a heel, a face, a back face, a top, and a sole; and   a weight comprising tungsten and nickel disposed within the hollow, the weight including a weight front, weight back, weight top, weight bottom, weight first side, and a weight second side, wherein a perimeter of the weight is defined by the weight top, weight first side, weight bottom, and weight second side,   wherein the weight is welded to the main body around greater than 90 degrees of the perimeter of the weight but less than 270 degrees of the perimeter of the weight, and   wherein the weight is disposed at an offset from the sole defining a first gap between the weight and the sole and at an offset from the face defining a second gap between the weight and the face.   
     
     
         14 . The iron golf club head of  claim 13 , wherein the weight is welded to the main body along a portion of the weight first side, along the weight top, and along a portion of the weight second side, wherein the weight first side is disposed proximate the toe, the weight top is disposed proximate the top, and the weight second side is disposed proximate the heel. 
     
     
         15 . The iron golf club head of  claim 13 , wherein the weight is welded to the main body along at least a portion of the weight back, wherein the weight back is disposed proximate the back face. 
     
     
         16 . The iron golf club head of  claim 13 , wherein the back face comprises a hollow back-side wall partially defining the hollow, the hollow back-side wall comprising a recess. 
     
     
         17 . The iron golf club head of  claim 16 , wherein the weight is disposed at least partially within the recess. 
     
     
         18 . The iron golf club head of  claim 13 , wherein the first gap is configured to allow the sole to flex without contacting the weight. 
     
     
         19 . The iron golf club head of  claim 13 , wherein the second gap is configured to allow the face to deflect without contacting the weight.
