Embodiment Construction

[0024]Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 discloses a set of golf clubs 100 in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The set includes individual clubs 102 in three combinations 103 as represented by a first combination 103a of the first three clubs 102 in the drawing, a second combination 103b of the middle three clubs 102 and a third combination 103c of the last three clubs 102. Each golf club 102 of the set includes a club head 104, shaft 106 and grip 108.

[0025]The overall length of each club 102 preferably is between 30 and 40 inches, the exact length being determined by the physical size and overall dimensions of the particular golfer who will use the clubs. In the embodiment shown, each club 102 of a first combination 103a of the set 100 is made the same length of 38.25 inches within a tolerance of 0.275 inches. The second combination 103b of three clubs 102 has a length of 37.25 inches also within a tolerance of 0.275 inches. The third combination 103c of thre...

Abstract

A set of a plurality of at least a combination of three golf clubs of progressive lofts that are matched to provide identical swing characteristics; each of the golf clubs including a club head, a shaft and a grip at the upper end of said shaft; each club of the combination characterized by having an essentially identically located, computer designed center of gravity; each club being further defined by the shaft having an equal length, having an identical swing weight, identical grip weight and an identical club head weight.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to iron type golf clubs and in particular to a balanced set of golf clubs.[0002]The game of golf is played by a wide variety of different players having different physical and golf swing characteristics. Because of these differences traditionally conventional sets of golf clubs are balanced using a number of variables in order to fit the particular physical and swing characteristics of particular golfers. Such variables include things such as length of the club, the weight of the club, the flexibility of the shaft, the shape and size of the club head, the swing weight of the club and the location of the center of gravity using various weighting techniques.[0003]All of these variables relate to the “feel” of the golf club as it is used to execute a golf swing to hit a golf ball to an intended target. Once the physical size of the club, such as length and weight, is determined, golf clubs are normally balanced by adjusting...
