ABSTRACT:
Golf clubs, and a matched set of golf clubs, with each golf club having a hollow shaft with a head end and grip end. A resilient grip is fitted about the grip end of each shaft, and the grip has a butt end and a forward end and a midpoint therebetween. A clubhead is secured to the head end of each shaft. A frictionally-dissipative, vibration-damping counterweight (dash pot) is positioned within each hollow shaft (except for that of the 1-wood or driver) at the grip end thereof. The counterweight is at least substantially entirely contained between the midpoint and the butt end of the grip. The various counterweights are sized to position the center of gravity of each individual club a selected distance from the head end of the hollow shaft of the individual club, such that the selected distance does not decrease for successively shorter clubs in the matched set.
