AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The proposed design of the golf club head and shaft connection aims to solve problems of current designs that result in a loss of distance and cause the ball to fly in an incorrect direction. The new design allows for a full rectangular shape with a concentrated center point of force, rather than an off-center, remote point of force. The shaft is connected to the rear of the golf club head, which also allows for a stronger continuity of materials and design of varying degrees of angle for the club head to the golfer's hands. The manufacturing process can continue using current methods.

Problems solved by technology

This is to be contrasted with most current designs that allow significant deflection of the club head and twisting of the shaft (which is essentially a hollow tube) which contribute to a loss of distance that the ball flies.

first embodiment

[0034]Turning now to FIGS. 3. &4. a club 10 according to the present disclosure is show. Club 10 is a replacement for traditional “irons” used by golfers. This club 10 connects clubhead 20 to shaft 30 at the center of the clubhead 21 at connection point 31. This results in the full power of the golfer's swing being transmitted directly to a golf ball resulting in a longer flight. Because this new design results in the clubhead (20) taking the shape of a rectangle as shown in FIG. 3 connecting the club shaft 30 to the center of the rear (at 31) of the clubhead 20, results in a club face 22 without any obstruction allowing the ball flight direction to be more in the control of the golfer. The top face 40 of the embodiment is contoured to improve performance, by shifting the center of mass and changing the total mass of the clubhead 20. This shape is substantially similar to a curved “E” as depicted with the club shaft passing between two of the “E”'s prongs.

second embodiment

[0035]Turning now to FIGS. 5. &6. a club 100, according to the present disclosure, is show. Club 100 is similar to club 10 in that it also is a replacement for traditional “irons” used by golfers. This club 100 connects clubhead 120 to shaft 130 at the center of the clubhead 121 at connection point 131. This results in the full power of the golfer's swing being transmitted directly to a golf ball resulting in a longer flight. However, unlike in club 10 this new design results in the clubhead 120 taking the shape of a square as shown in FIG. 5 connecting the club shaft 130 to the center of the rear (at 131) of the clubhead 120, results in a club face 122 without any obstruction allowing the ball flight direction to be more in the control of the golfer. It should be noted that while club 10 is shown as a rectangle and club 100 as a square, both can be adapted to use either a square or rectangular clubface, depending on the desired performance of the club.

Abstract

A golf club head or golf club, the club including a shaft, a body, a front face, a back face, and a connecting member. The connecting member attached to the center of the back face and extending away from the back face of the club head and turning at an angle, and wherein the front face of the clubhead forms a rectangular shape.

Description

[0001]This application is a divisional application of application Ser. No. 15 / 897,329 filed Feb. 15, 2018. This application claims the benefit of provisional application No. 62 / 459,365 filed Feb. 15, 2017.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to golf clubs used both recreationally and professionally. In particular, the current invention represents and improved design for club heads.BACKGROUND[0003]Golf is a well known competitive sport and improvements in golf club and golf ball technology represent a fascination among both professionals and hobbyists. Indeed, golf is considered a difficult and competitive sport / hobby for many people. Many proposals have been made to design golf clubs which provide improved control over, and feel for, the golf ball, for example by providing grooves on the impact face of the golf club head. When your average golfer swings a golf club, he or she may have dramatic variations in his or her golf swing, resulting in numerous ...
