Abstract
A hosel is formed with an upwardly opening socket for receiving a shaft that has a projecting flange with an outer edge. A ball striking plate is manufactured in separate form from the hosel and is secured to the flange in desired positions of loft and other relationships. One or more weights are arranged to be secured to the rear side of the ball striking plate for providing a desired club head weight and center of gravity. A method of the invention includes the steps of forming a hosel and the ball striking plate as separate elements and then shaping and positioning the flange for securing the ball striking plate at the desired angle and position.
