ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed towards a golf club shaft which comprises an upper section, a tip section, and a lower section therebetween. The tip section connects with a golf club head. The lower section includes a first tapered section and a hump section. The first tapered section is connected between the tip section and the hump section. The first tapered section increases in diameter in a direction away from the tip section. The hump section has a diameter that decreases in a direction away from the tip section, which is a reverse taper. The lower and upper sections are shaped so that the lower section is stiffer than the upper section.
