A correlated set of iron type golf clubs is designed to improve performance. The set of clubs includes a plurality of iron type golf clubs having linearly spaced lofts such that a first iron type golf club has a loft which is x degrees greater than the loft of a second iron type golf club and the second iron type golf club has a loft which is x degrees greater than a third iron type golf club and subsequent iron type golf clubs increase in loft at the same rate. The plurality of iron type golf clubs also have lengths which are linearly spaced such that a first iron type golf club has a length which is y inches less than the length of the second iron type golf club and the second iron type golf club has a length which is y inches less than the length of the third iron type golf club and subsequent iron type golf clubs decrease in length at the same rate. The set of iron type golf clubs is further designed such that the design efficiency increases as the loft of the golf clubs decreases.

Set of iron type golf clubs

The invention relates to a set of golf clubs employing a two-piece golf club shaft wherein the lengths of the first and second shaft members vary as the loft of the golf club varies. The set of clubs includes a plurality of golf clubs having varying lofts extending from lower loft golf clubs to higher loft golf clubs, wherein each golf club includes a club head and a shaft having a distal end and a butt. Each shaft includes a first member having a first end located at the butt end of the golf club shaft and a second end positioned slightly short of the distal end of the golf club shaft. A second member is secured to the second end of the first member. The second member extends from the second end of the first member to the distal end of the golf club shaft and includes a first end securely coupled to the second end of the first member and a second end which is ultimately secured to a golf club head. The second member progressively decreases in length as the plurality of golf clubs extend from the lower lofted golf clubs to the higher lofted golf clubs.

Sole plate design for a golf club head

Golf club shaft

A golf club head for hitting a golf ball toward a target has a directional tendency to launch the golf ball in a selected direction. Basic embodiments include a club head having an asymmetric ball striking face such that one side of the face, as measured from the center of the face, has a first bulge radius and the other side of the face has a second bulge radius. The club head assumes a directional tendency in the direction toward the smaller bulge radius. Other embodiments of club heads with a directional tendency have a striking face with a bulge radius apex shifted either right or left of the center of the striking face such that a club face with the bulge radius apex to the left results in a right directional tendency and a club face with a bulge radius apex to the right results in a left directional tendency. Further embodiments of a club head may include a combination of a shifted bulge radius apex and a different radius on each side of the center of the striking face.
