A wood-type golf club head comprises a body having one or more ribs extending across the internal surface of the sole. The plurality of ribs can include two or more ribs, such as three or four ribs, that converge at a convergence location, such as above a recessed pocket in the sole configured to receive an adjustable sole piece. At least one rib can extend along an internal surface of the recessed pocket and along an internal surface of a surrounding sole region. The ribs can extend from the convergence location to a toe weight port, to a heel weight port, to a rear portion of the body and/or toward the face. At least one rib can extend from a hosel, such as to the toe weight port.

The golf club head of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a first weight port positioned at the toe portion and a second weight port positioned at the heel portion, the first rib being connected to the first weight port and the second rib being connected to the second weight port. 3. The golf club head of claim 1, wherein the plurality of ribs comprises a fourth rib extending from the convergence location in a frontward direction. 4. The golf club head of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a hosel and the plurality of ribs comprises a fourth rib extending from the hosel to a weight port. 5. The golf club head of claim 1, wherein the sole comprises a convergence zone that is recessed with respect to a surrounding sole region and the convergence location is positioned within the convergence zone. 6. The golf club head of claim 5, wherein the first, second and third ribs extend across a raised internal surface of the sole directly above the convergence zone and across an internal surface of the surrounding sole region. 7. The golf club head of claim 6, wherein the first, second and third ribs converge at an aperture in the sole, the aperture being at the center of the convergence zone. 8. The golf club head of claim 1, further comprising an adjustable sole piece coupled to a pocket via a fastener that passes through the sole piece and is secured to an aperture in the sole. 9. The golf club head of claim 8, wherein the adjustable sole piece is configured to be positioned at a plurality of axial positions with respect to an axis extending through the sole piece, the adjustable sole piece being releasably lockable to the sole at a selected one of the plurality of axial positions on the sole. 10. The golf club head of claim 9, wherein the adjustable sole piece has a generally triangular configuration and is adapted to be positioned at three distinct axial positions with respect to the axis extending through the aperture. 11. The golf club head of claim 10, wherein the adjustable sole piece is configured to receive at least two projections located on the sole,wherein the front portion includes a titanium face and body, andwherein an adjustable loft system is included. 12.
