Abstract
A system for adjusting alignment of a golf club head includes a club shaft having a proximal end and an opposing distal end, with a hosel fitting fixedly secured to the distal end of the club shaft. A neck is rotationally coupled to the hosel fitting at a first end and a club head is coupled to the second end of the neck. The hosel fitting includes a reference line and the neck includes a series of angle index lines. The angle of the club face is adjusted by selectively aligning a singled angle index line with the reference line.
Claims17
A system for adjusting alignment of a golf club head, the system comprising:
- a) a club shaft having a proximal end and an opposing distal end;
- b) a hosel fitting fixedly secured to said distal end of said club shaft;
- c) a neck having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is rotationally coupled to said hosel fitting;
- and
- d) a club head coupled to said second end of said neck, wherein said club head comprises a fitting head having a body portion defining a club face and a tubular portion extending perpendicularly rearward from said club face, wherein said club face includes an aperture in communication with an open interior of said tubular portion, and wherein said open interior is dimensioned to receive a laser unit therein, wherein powering of said laser unit causes a light beam to extend outwardly of said club face through said aperture.
A method for adjusting the alignment of a golf club head, the method comprising:
- a) providing a golf club having a fitting head mounted thereon, the fitting head comprising:
- i) a club shaft having a proximal end and an opposing distal end;
- ii) a hosel fitting fixedly secured to said distal end of said club shaft;
- iii) a neck having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is rotationally coupled to said hosel fitting;
- and
- iv) a club head coupled to said second end of said neck, wherein said club head has body portion defining a club face and a tubular portion extending perpendicularly rearward from said club face, wherein said club face includes an aperture in communication with an open interior of said tubular portion, and wherein said open interior is dimensioned to receive a laser unit therein, wherein powering of said laser unit causes a light beam to extend outwardly of said club face through said aperture,
- b) positioning a golfer a predetermined distance away from a stationary target;
- c) allowing the golfer to align the golf club to the stationary target;
- d) powering the laser to emit a laser beam from the golf club toward the stationary target to establish a golfer alignment value;
- e) determining an amount of deviation of the golfer alignment value from the stationary target;
- f) rotating said neck on said hosel fitting to negate the amount of deviation whereby said laser beam coincides with said stationary target;
- and
- g) securing said neck to said hosel fitting to prevent further rotation of said neck.
A golf club head comprising:
- a) a body portion defining a club face;
- b) a tubular portion defining an open interior extending perpendicularly rearward from said club face, wherein said open interior is dimensioned to receive a laser unit therein;
- c) an aperture defined within said club face and in communication with said open interior of said tubular portion;
- d) a battery compartment defined within said body portion and extending perpendicularly to said tubular portion, wherein the battery compartment is configured to receive a battery therein, wherein the battery is configured to be electrically connected to the laser wherein powering of the laser unit via the battery causes a light beam to extend outwardly of said club face through said aperture.
