ABSTRACT:
An improved golf club includes a shaft having a noncircular cross section along at least a portion thereof and a club head. The shaft provides increased rigidity in a direction transverse to intended ball impact and a desirable flex characteristic in the direction of intended ball impact. The non-circular cross section of the shaft has a first a dimension in the direction of ball impact and a second dimension transverse to the direction of ball impact. Greater flexibility of the shaft in the direction of ball impact than in the direction transverse to the direction of ball impact is assured by making the first dimension of the shaft cross section smaller than the second dimension. To provide greater flexibility of the shaft in the vicinity of the club head, the shaft may be tapered.
