Abstract
A golf cub comprising a head, a shaft assembly and a shaft attachment assembly. The head includes a body which includes a face and a back. The shaft assembly includes a shaft member. The shaft attachment assembly includes a primary plug assembly. The primary plug assembly includes a primary plug to which the shaft member is attached, and, a member which facilitates rotatably positioning of the primary plug relative to the back of the head, to, in turn, vary the angle of the shaft member relative to the back of the head.
Claims14
A golf club comprising:
- a head having a body which includes a face and a back;
- a shaft assembly including a shaft member;
- a shaft attachment assembly comprising:
- a primary plug assembly having:
- a primary plug to which the shaft member is attached;
- and
- means for rotatably positioning the primary plug relative to the back of the head, wherein the rotatably positioning means comprises:
- at least one slot of arcuate configuration disposed on the primary plug;
- at least one pin fixed to the back of the head which is insertable into the slot and slidable therealong;
- and
- means for fastening the primary plug to the back of the head, wherein the fastening means comprises a fastener extending through the primary plug into the back of the head wherein the at least one plug rotates about the fastener while the at least one pin travels along the at least one slot and wherein the fastening means further comprises a pair of spaced apart screws extending through corresponding bores on a lower flange of the head to facilitate engagement thereof with the primary plug, the pair of screws positioned on either side of the fastener extending through the primary plug, such that through cooperation, the pair of spaced apart screws fix rotative movement of the primary plug relative to the body.

A golf club comprising:
- a head having a body which includes a face and a back;
- a shaft assembly including a shaft member;
- a substantially cylindrical shaft attachment assembly coupled to the shaft assembly and rotatably coupled to the head by way of a fastener extending therethrough, defining an axis of rotation, wherein the shaft attachment assembly further comprises means for positively engaging the shaft attachment assembly on either side of the axis of rotation,
- wherein the head further comprises a flange having a pair of openings extending therethrough, the pair of openings positioned on opposing sides of an axis of rotation of the shaft attachment assembly, and
- wherein the positive engaging means further comprising, a pair of screws extending through the openings of the flange of the head and terminating against the shaft attachment assembly on opposing sides of the axis of rotation so as to in combination preclude rotation of the shaft attachment assembly relative to the head in either one of a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction.
