ABSTRACT:
A multi-loft golf club that provides a golfer with a more conventional mode of play. More than one club can make up a set. A six iron lofted head mounted in line with the shaft hozel can be closed incrementally to yield eight club positions, a 6,5,4,3,2,1, driver and a putter. The second club, with a 60 degree lofted head mounted in line with the shaft hozel can in a like manner yield eight club positions, a 60 degree sand wedge, 56 degree wedge, 52 degree wedge, pitching wedge, 9,8,7, and another 6 iron . . .being useful when a second player shares the club set. The high lofted club being broader in the club face and with more weight is fitted with a shorter club shaft and the low lofted club with less weight being fitted with a longer club shaft for greater distance; requiring higher velocity. Each club is comprised of a club head, a selector plate, a shaft hozel, a shaft, a shaft grip and fasteners which are mounted to the shaft hozel; when loosened slightly, frees the selector plate to change club-head loft. The selector plate with club head attached, changes the loft via a slotted network. Two radial slots in the selector plate provide a path to intersecting club change slots which are positioned on angles incrementally spaced and converge on a theoretical center point at the bottom leading edge of the iron head. This method of pivoting for loft negates the need for a fastener at the bottom which, when pivoting, creates leading edge offset on each selection where a different point of contact is presented with the ball with each swing.
