Benefits of technology

[0005]The object of the present invention is to provide a golf club, especially for drivers, fairway woods and hybrids, with simple structure and easy disassembling, to solve the problem of the golf club in the prior art.
[0006]The solution for solving the problem in the prior art is, providing a golf club that comprises a club head and a shaft. The club head comprises a body and an exchangeable hosel. The crown of the body is set with a generally round crown opening, while a sole opening is set on the sole portion of the body correspondingly. One end of the exchangeable hosel is an insertion end, while the other end which shares the same axis with insertion portion of the exchangeable hosel fits and secures a shaft. The exchangeable hosel inserts into the crown opening of the body and fixed by a position holding structure thereof, thus to keep durable connection with the locking member on the sole portion of the body. The connection portion of the locking member connects the crown opening and sole opening of the club head body via a passage.
[0024]The benefits of implementing the present invention are: locking member from the sole portion of the club head connects the exchangeable hosel inserted into the crown of the club head opening, so as to fix the shaft that cooperates with the exchangeable hosel on the club head body. Meanwhile, assembling and disassembling of the club head body and the exchangeable hosel may be carried out easily. While selecting clubs, one can select different club heads, club shafts, as well as different spines position of the shafts to make various combinations. In addition, iterations of disassembling and assembling will not damage the golf club. Therefore, the cost of money and time is saved while purchasing golf clubs. Furthermore, the locking member is a bolt or nut, and the durable connection is by threads connection, thus one can use common tools to disassemble and assemble the golf club.

Problems solved by technology

While players hitting the golf ball, different specifications of shafts and spine positions caused by procedure limitation and production inconsistency have significantly different effects.
Traditional club head and shaft are connected by adhesive, which results in a time delay before using the club.
Moreover, if the shaft or club head do not fit with each other, the shaft has to be removed from the club head, in this regard, the shaft may be damaged.
Therefore, the club heads and the shafts of the golf clubs in the prior art cannot be separated easily; this will make the selection of golf clubs complex.
Selecting golf clubs not only needs lots of time, but also increases cost while purchasing a suitable golf club.
