Benefits of technology

[0008] The present invention provides a wood-type golf club for providing a golf shot substantially free from hook or slice. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wood-type golf club comprises a shaped club head and an elongated shaft connected to the club head. The club head has a flattened striking face, spaced-apart side surfaces, spaced-apart top and bottom surfaces, and a top midpoint located on the top surface and substantially equidistant from the spaced-apart side surfaces. The shaft is connected to the club head at a first end of

Embodiment Construction

[0017] Referring to the drawings, FIGS. 1-4 illustrate a preferred embodiment of the wood-type golf club 10 of the present invention. Golf club 10 has an oval-shaped club head 12 connected to an elongated shaft 14. The club head 12 can be at least partially formed from wood, metal or composite material. The preferred material is wood, but the term “wood” and “wood-type” when used in connection with golf clubs is commonly used, and is used herein, to describe clubs formed of wood, graphite, metal, composite material, or any combination thereof. The club head could even be formed of other materials, including plastic. The club head 12 has a flattened striking face 16 for striking a golf ball 11, two spaced-apart side surfaces 18, a top surface 20, a bottom surface 21, and a top midpoint 22. The top midpoint 22 is located behind the striking face 16 on the top surface 20 at a point substantially equidistant between the spaced apart side surfaces 18. Most specifically, the top midpoint ...

Abstract

A wood-type golf club for providing a golf shot substantially free from hook or slice, the wood-type golf club having an oval-shaped club head rigidly connected to an elongated shaft. The club head has a centrally located top midpoint, basically above the center of gravity of the club head, and the shaft has a longitudinal center line defining a shaft axis. The shaft axis passes through the top midpoint of the club head, and not through the center of gravity, whereby, upon swinging the golf club to strike a golf ball, the shaft tends to stay in an intended plane of movement, and upon striking a golf ball at the striking face at a point in line with the top midpoint, the club head is substantially free of twisting movement around the shaft axis.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to golf clubs, and more particularly to a wood-type golf club for providing a golf shot substantially free from hook or slice. [0002] There are three basic types of golf clubs used in the game of golf: wood-type, iron-type, and putters. A wood-type golf club typically has a thick oval-shaped wood head, or a similar head made of metal, and is generally used during a golf game when distance is more important than accuracy. For example, players generally use a wood-type golf club called a driver to tee off at the beginning of a hole. Fairway woods are another common wood-type golf club, and are used to hit long-distance shots on the fairway. While traditionally fabricated from wood material, it is now common for wood-type golf clubs to be fabricated from metal and other materials as well. An iron-type golf club typically has a thin shaped head made of metal, and is generally used when accuracy becomes more impor...
