A weight system for a golf club. The golf club has an impact head, which is swung by a golfer to strike a golf ball. The weight system has at least one cavity within the impact head of the golf club; a plurality of weights, shaped and dimensioned to slidingly fit within the cavity; and a top plate on an upper surface of the impact head, the top plate covering the cavity to prevent the weights from dislodging from the cavity. The top plate is removable to provide access to the cavity for the insertion or removal of the weights.
