a strike face and a rear wall opposite the strikeface, each of the strike face and the rear wall having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness between the inner surface and outer surface;
a sole and a top rail opposite the sole, each of the sole and the top rail having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness between the inner surface and outer surface;
wherein:
the inner surfaces of each of the strikeface, rear wall, sole, and top rail cooperate to define a closed internal cavity therebetween;
