Benefits of technology

The invention is a golf club set that is compact, lightweight, and easy to use. It consists of golf club shafts and heads that can be easily attached and detached, making it easy to change clubs with different shafts. This reduces the weight and size of conventional golf club sets, making them more portable. The shafts can vary in stiffness or flex, allowing for performance tuning. A second coupler can be added to further reduce the shaft segment length and make a carry-on-sized bag version of the golf club. The bag can be carried over the shoulder or attached to a golf cart, and clips securely hold the club heads in place. The invention provides a more desirable and easy-to-use golf club set.

Problems solved by technology

As such, in an embodiment the second coupler may be threaded, which can be a more time consuming assembly.

Abstract

A golf club system has at least one golf club shaft assembly and a plurality of detachable golf club head assemblies. The golf club shaft assembly includes a shaft segment, a grip, and a coupler. The golf club head assembly includes a golf club head, a head shaft segment, and a head coupler pin to reversibly mate the golf club head assembly to a golf club shaft assembly to make a golf club. Any one of the golf club head assemblies can be attached to the golf club shaft assembly using a coupler. A second coupler allows the at least one golf club shaft assembly to be split into an upper shaft segment and a lower shaft segment to reduce the size of the golf club system. The golf club system can include a golf bag to hold the at least one shaft and plurality of detachable golf club head assemblies.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional App. No. 61 / 747,180 filed Dec. 28, 2012 (pending) which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to golf clubs and related equipment. More specifically, embodiments relate to a golf club system with golf clubs having interchangeable golf club heads that each can fit onto a single shared shaft, golf clubs that are easily transported, and golf bags for carrying components of such golf clubs.[0004]2. Background of the Invention[0005]Because of their weight and bulk, a full-sized set of golf clubs presents substantial transportation challenges for golfers. For example, it is often difficult or impossible to fit even one full-sized set of golf clubs in a car. This problem is compounded when air travel is involved where the already heavy and bulky full-sized set of golf clubs is made heavier and bulkier by flight case...
