ABSTRACT:
A golf club including a club head and an interchangeable shaft is disclosed herein. A sleeve is mounted in an internal hosel of the club head. The sleeve includes a top section, which has a plurality of fingers and slits. The sleeve further includes a rib that extends diametrically across the interior of the sleeve. The shaft is inserted in the sleeve, and a mechanical fastener, which is placed over a tip end of the shaft and coupled to the sleeve, constricts the fingers of the sleeve about the shaft to removably secure the shaft to the club head. The tip end of the shaft has a notch formed therein. The notch in the shaft engages the rib of the sleeve to prevent the shaft from rotating with respect to the sleeve.
