Golf club shaft

Abstract

A golf club shaft having adjustability features, made as a composite device whose shaft members are connected by their adjacent faces having a tapered nature by which a wedging action is achieved by their assembly. The adjustability is particularly advantageous in the market situation by which the golf clubs are conventionally sold by the manufacturer for intended modification or custom-fitting by the person or business which tailors the club's shaft to the precise needs of the golfing customer. The easy assembly achieves a firm and positive holding together the shaft members, achieving desired variations in the club characteristics of length, weight and swing-effect, etc.

Description

I. FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001] The present invention relates to golf equipment.[0002] More particularly, the invention relates to the shaft of a golf club, its concepts of construction and procedure.II. PROBLEMS INHERENT AS TO THE PROVISIONS OF A GOLF CLUB SHAFT[0003] Several inherent particulars relating to golf club shafts provide problems which must be solved to make any particular overall construction of a golf club shaft desirable.[0004] For example, it must be satisfactory as to length in the manufacturing procedure, both as to its length when sold to a club maker and as to the procedure of custom-making by the golf club seller, for golf clubs are conventionally sold by the manufacturer for intended modification or custom-fitting by the person or business which tailors the club's shaft to the precise needs of the golfing customer.[0005] Other characteristics of the golf club shaft must also be taken into consideration as to both a satisfactory shaft in both sales situations, ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012] The holding effect permits the use of a non-special bonding substance, and permits adjustability by club professionals by cutting off a portion of the inner shaft component and / or varying its position, and to satisfactorily bend the club shaft to the accommodation of variations or irregularities in the club head or hosel, and provides the user the options of variations in overall club length, variations in overall weight distribution, variations in "flex (flexure) point", and one or more other characteristics referred to as "kick point", "balance point", toward the goal of accuracy in use of an associated ball of ball-flight characteristics such as "launch angle", "ball spin rate", etc.

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, the matter of confidence in use seems to be such a fanciful and illusive factor that even skilled golfers disagree with others, and even disagree with their own selves, from time to time, as to the help which individual characteristics of the club shaft actually are and contribute to the overall achievement.
