ABSTRACT:
A set of matched golf clubs is provided, each including a shaft having a step at the junction between a smaller diameter lower portion thereof and a larger diameter upper portion thereof, both portions being of substantially uniform diameter. The step is located either at a uniform distance from the club head end of the shaft, preferably at about 8-1/2 inches, or at a distance increased slightly and progressively from the shortest club to the longest club, and the step is positioned more than 27 inches from the lower end of a grip on the upper end of the shaft and at least 27 inches from the upper end of the grip, with detectable means being provided on or within the grip at a distance of 27 inches from the step, such as an outward or inward formation on the grip or a concentrated weight within the grip. Impulse forces are emanated from the step and transmitted through the upper shaft portion to the grip and the player's hands, such impulse forces being developed in response to impact of the club head with a ball and rebound therefrom and being readily detectable by the player to facilitate properly timed and synchronized action. A small weight may be provided at the step to augment the development of such impulse forces. Various configurations of the lower shaft portion may be used.
