Claims19
A golf club comprising:
- a club head;
- a shaft coupled to the club head, comprising:
- a shaft bend disposed along a unitary portion of the shaft at a specially configured shaft bend height above the club head with the shaft bend dividing the shaft into a shaft lower portion and shaft upper portion, the specially configured shaft bend height configured for a strong arc swing style;
- wherein a shaft axis extends through a longitudinal centerline of the shaft upper portion and a horizontal plane of the club head extends through a strike face centerpoint of the club head with the shaft axis intersecting the horizontal plane at an intersection distance away from the strike face centerpoint such that a center of gravity of the golf club is moved away from the strike face centerpoint by nature of the intersection distance, the intersection distance defined by the specially configured shaft bend height and specially configured for the strong arc swing style;
- and
- wherein the shaft bend disposed along the unitary portion of the shaft is configured to impart a toe-down hang angle to the golf club, the toe-down hang angle specially configured for the strong arc swing style.

A golf club comprising:
- a club head;
- a shaft coupled to the club head, comprising:
- a shaft bend disposed along a unitary portion of the shaft at a specially configured shaft bend height above the club head with the shaft bend dividing the shaft into a shaft lower portion and shaft upper portion, the specially configured shaft bend height configured for a slight arc swing style;
- wherein a shaft axis extends through a longitudinal centerline of the shaft upper portion and a horizontal plane of the club head extends through a strike face centerpoint of the club head with the shaft axis intersecting the horizontal plane at an intersection distance away from the strike face centerpoint such that a center of gravity of the golf club is moved away from the strike face centerpoint by nature of the intersection distance, the intersection distance defined by the specially configured shaft bend height and specially configured for the slight arc swing style;
- and
- wherein the shaft bend disposed along the unitary portion of the shaft is configured to impart a mid-hang hang angle to the golf club, the mid-hang hang angle specially configured for the slight arc swing style.

A golf club comprising:
- a club head;
- a shaft coupled to the club head, comprising:
- a shaft bend disposed along a unitary portion of the shaft at a specially configured shaft bend height above the club head with the shaft bend dividing the shaft into a shaft lower portion and shaft upper portion, the specially configured shaft bend height configured for a straight stroke swing style;
- wherein a shaft axis extends through a longitudinal centerline of the shaft upper portion and a horizontal plane of the club head extends through a strike face centerpoint of the club head with the shaft axis intersecting the horizontal plane at an intersection distance away from the strike face centerpoint such that a center of gravity of the golf club is moved away from the strike face centerpoint by nature of the intersection distance, the intersection distance defined by the specially configured shaft bend height and specially configured for the straight stroke swing style;
- and
- wherein the shaft bend disposed along the unitary portion of the shaft is configured to impart a face-balanced hang angle to the golf club, the face-balanced hang angle specially configured for the straight stroke swing style.
