1. A golf club head comprising:
a body comprising a face, a crown, and a sole together defining an interior cavity of the golf club head, wherein the body further comprises:
a crown opening and a crown insert covering the crown opening, wherein the crown insert is made of a fiber-reinforced composite material;
a sole opening and a sole insert covering the sole opening, wherein the sole insert is made of a fiber-reinforced composite material;
a recess located on the sole between the face and the sole opening; and
a weight port formed in the sole at a location rearward of the sole opening;
a first weight made of a first material having a first density greater than a density of the body, wherein the first weight is at least partially positioned within the recess; and
a second weight made of a second material having a second density greater than the density of the body, wherein the second weight is seated within the weight port,
wherein a ratio of Ixx to Izz, where Ixx is a moment of inertia of the golf club head about a horizontal x-axis of the golf club head that passes through a center of gravity (CG) of the golf club head and Izz is a moment of inertia of the golf club head about a vertical z-axis of the golf club head that passes through the CG of the golf club head, is at least 0.62.
