Definitions

This creates a torque action when hitting the ball. The torque action causes a loss of power when striking the ball. It also increases the tendency of twisting the club in the golfer's hands upon impact. The twist action impacts direct control of the ball causing poor hitting and scoring outcomes.

Abstract

The idea relates to a golf club, metal driver (FIG. 01) or in some cases metal irons (FIG. 04) which differs from conventional golf clubs. In this idea the shaft is moved from the heal of the club head to the center of the club head to meet the contact point of the club head. This enables the axis of the shaft to be located at the contact point of the head where the club face meets the golf ball. This helps eliminate the club turning in the golfer's hands upon contact of the ball.

Description

  • (1) The golf club design came from the concept, that with a conventional golf club, the contact point of the ball is 2 or 3 inches from the shaft axis. This creates a torque action when hitting the ball. The torque action causes a loss of power when striking the ball. It also increases the tendency of twisting the club in the golfer's hands upon impact. The twist action impacts direct control of the ball causing poor hitting and scoring outcomes. To improve the problem of a conventional club, the basic design of this idea is to move the shaft toward the center of the club head to meet the contact point. This moves the contact point of the head of the club to meet the axis of the shaft. The contact point and axis of the club face intersect.
  • (2) By moving the contact point from the rear of the club face to the center of the club face the golfer will be able to be more successful in their game and improve their scores.
  • (3) The best mode of carrying out the invention is to change the head of the conventional golf club and move the contact point to the center of the club as shown in diagram 01.

Claims (1)

1. The claim of this new design is to reduce torque around the shaft of the club when hitting the golf ball. In the standard club design, the club head contact point may be more than 2 inches from the point where the shaft is connected (FIG. 07). Striking the ball 2 inches from the shaft axis can torque the club. A twist of the club, even so slightly, can send the ball in a completely different direction than intended. Striking the ball where the axis meets the contact point eliminates the torque and projects the ball in the desired direction. Another claim of this new design is to reduce the need to hold the club shaft so tightly in order to prevent twisting, aiding the golfer to concentrate on other aspects of the game.
