A composite golf club shaft and the method of constructing the shaft is disclosed. The hollow circular shaft includes a standard butt end having a constant outside diameter along a length of the shaft and a tip end having a constant outside diameter sustantially larger than the tip of a standard shaft, with the constant diameter of the tip end and butt end extending along predetermined lengths of the shaft. An intermediate section of the shaft tapers between the diameters of the butt and tip ends. The shaft is manufactured by wrapping a group of circumferential sections about a mandrel, each layer comprising either standard modulus carbon-graphite fibers or fiberglass fibers in a matrix, with the finished product being heat-cured to produce a golf club shaft.
