ABSTRACT:
A golf club, of the "metal wood" type, includes a shaft attached to a head that is formed from a foam-filled metal shell. The shell has a heel portion that includes a substantially continuous hollow internal tube extending from the top surface of the shell to the bottom surface that forms the sole of the club head. The shaft extends through the entire length of the tube, with the end of the shaft lying flush with the sole, thereby eliminating the need for a hosel to connect the shaft to the head. The elimination of the hosel allows substantially all of the mass of the club head to be "effective mass", which contributes to the transfer of energy from the player to the ball, for greater shot distance. The extension of the shaft to the sole provides dramatically increased "head feel" for greater shot control. The hosel-less structure is advantageously combined with a sole that has upwardly-angled flats at the toe end, the heel end, and the trailing edge, with a rounded rail from the trailing edge flat to the face of the club. This sole structure provides improved short control, especially from bad lies.
