ABSTRACT:
Long-shafted golf clubs are disclosed to give flight to or loft a ball toward a target along a target line. A method of use includes the following aspects. A club is selected which when stood upright has a shaft that reaches about the chest of the player who will use it. The player addresses the ball by a stance that faces the target line from one side, and is generally upright with knees and waist substantially straight except that the head is down as needed to see the ball. The player holds the shaft at an upper-grip location with an upper hand by an underhand grip, having thumb up, and at about chest height. The player holds the shaft at a lower-grip portion with the other or lower hand by an underhand grip, having the thumb down, and at about hip height. Following that the player winds up in a half-swing, at the top of which the arm of the lower hand is outstretched as needed to support the shaft and the upper hand is stationed in front of the chest to define a relatively fixed center of swing for the club. Then ball is stroked by virtue of a pendulum-style downswing, the shaft being motivated by the lower hand and arm thereof while the upper hand remains substantially stationary. During execution of the downswing, or at least until the ball is contacted, the downswing is done substantially without flexing the knees or twisting the waist or shoulders.
