Abstract

Embodiments of the subject invention relate to a method and apparatus for providing a golf club shaft that has coupling between one or more bending modes and one or more twisting modes of deformation. In a specific embodiment, bending the shaft along a central longitudinal axis of the shaft in a plane of bending results in twisting of the shaft about the same central longitudinal axis of the shaft.
