Basic Step by Step procedure for modelling a forged golf iron.

1. Step 1:

   Planar Club Face (hitting face)
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Lofted hosel (non-circular)
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Perimeter Edge
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Back Face (Filled Surface)
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Fillets
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Another view of the fillets
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Cut back face for pocket
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Model pocket face/faces
   

   

9. Step 9:

   In this case there are two planar faces parallel to the front face
   

   

10. Step 10:

    A ruled face connects the rear face with the pocket faces
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Fillets makes smooth transitions
    

    

12. Step 12:

    I had to cut away part of the head to improve the flow of the following surface
    

    

13. Step 13:

    This lofted surface is done in one go and connects the head and hosel
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Closes the surface model and turns into solid geometry
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Cut hole for shaft
    

    

16. Step 16:

    Split into head and ferrule
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Cut grooves in club face
    

    

18. Step 18:

    Cut logo and number and additional ornamentation
    

    

19. Step 19:

    All done. Hope this works for you :-)
