1. A golf club head comprising:
a club head body having a toe end, a heel end located opposite the toe end, a crown, a sole located opposite the crown, a strike face, a perimeter positioned at a junction between the crown and the sole extending from near the heel end to near the toe end, and an adjustable weighting system, wherein:
the adjustable weighting system includes a plurality of ports defined by the golf club head body near the perimeter, and one or more weights;
the plurality of ports define a plurality of discrete attachment locations configured to receive the one or more weights;
at least one weight is configured to be moveable between the plurality of ports to shift a center of gravity of the golf club head;
the one or more weights are positioned a minimum distance from the center of gravity of the golf club head, where the minimum distance is between 1.0 inch to 2.6 inches;
wherein the one or more weights are flush with an outer contour of the golf club head; and
a combined moment of inertia of the club head about the center of gravity of the golf club head, defined as a sum of a crown-to-sole moment of inertia and a heel-to-toe moment of inertia, is greater than 8,000 g·cm2.
