Adjustable connector

A golf club having a releasably coupled head and shaft comprising:

• a connection mechanism to couple the head to the shaft, the connection mechanism including:
• a first part engageable with a hosel of the head, wherein the first part and the hosel have complimentary surfaces that allow the first part to be rotatable between a first plurality of rotational positions, said first part having a first internal bore, and
• a second part coupled to the shaft at a distal end and having an outer wall configured to fit into said first internal bore, wherein the first part and the second part have complimentary surfaces that allow the second part to be rotatable inside the first internal bore between a second plurality of rotational positions, said second part having a second internal inclined bore with respect to a longitudinal axis of the bore of the second part, said bore receiving the distal end of the shaft,
• wherein at least one part is releasably connected to either the shaft or the head, further wherein a combination of the first plurality of rotational positions and the second plurality of rotational positions changes a first angular relationship between the head and the shaft and a second angular relationship between the head and the shaft, wherein the second angular relationship is different than the first angular relationship.

A golf club having a coupled golf club head and shaft comprising:

• a connection mechanism to couple the golf club head to the shaft, the connection mechanism including:
• a first part rotatable between a first plurality of rotational positions;
• and
• a second part rotatable between a second plurality of rotational positions,
• the parts having cooperating surfaces such that a first combination of rotational positions between the first part and the second part provides a first orientation between the golf club head and the shaft, and further such that a second combination of rotational positions between the first part and the second part provides a second orientation between the golf club head and the shaft, the second orientation between the golf club head and the shaft being different from the first orientation between the golf club head and the shaft.

A golf club comprising:

• a shaft;
• a golf club head;
• and
• an adjustable connector that connects the shaft to the golf club head, the adjustable connector having a first rotatable part that engages the golf club head and a second rotatable part that engages the shaft,
• the parts each having a longitudinal axis of a bore that is different from an axis of rotation of the parts thereby defining that the parts are rotatable about their individual axis of rotation at a constant angle of inclination causing their individual longitudinal axis of the bore to rotate with respect to the axis of rotation and further such that the rotation of the parts of the adjustable connector alters the relative orientation of the golf club head and the shaft.
