Golf club and method

A golf club for minimizing wind drag, comprising:

• a head for striking a golf ball;
• a shaft connected to said head at a first end and having a handle at a second end, said shaft tapering from said second end to said first end so that said first end is narrower in width than said second end;
• and
• spiral means associated with said shaft, said spiral means for minimizing air vortices generated behind said shaft when said golf club is in motion to thereby decrease air resistance to said golf club, said spiral means comprising a rib protruding outwardly from the surface of said shaft and spirally running about said shaft with a pitch which increases in the direction from said first end to said second end.

A method for decreasing air resistance to the motion of a golf club, comprising the steps of:

• forming a head for striking a golf ball;
• forming a tapering cylindrical shaft connected to said head at a first end and having a handle at a second end, said first end being narrower in width than said second end;
• forming a protrusion running outwardly from said shaft and longitudinally along said shaft in a spiral configuration for decreasing wind drag of said golf club;
• and
• forming said protrusion with a sufficient pitch increasing in the direction from said first end to said second end and with a sufficient outward extension from said shaft so that said protrusion is capable of reducing air drag behind said shaft when said shaft is moved through the air.

A golf club head, comprising:

• a front surface angling inwardly from an elongate front bottom edge, said front surface for contacting a golf ball;
• a rear surface angling inwardly from an elongate rear bottom edge, said front bottom edge being substantially parallel to said rear bottom edge;
• curved right and left sides each extending from said front surface and said sides angling outwardly from said front surface to said rear surface to said rear surface;
• a substantially flat bottom;
• and
• a top which is semicircular as viewed in the direction normal to said front surface and which is parabolic as viewed in the direction normal to said sides;
• said front surface being narrower in width than said rear surface from said left side to said right side.
