Abstract
A set of golf clubs each having a fiber reinforced plastic shaft incorporating helically wound reinforcing filaments over the entire length thereof, the shaft comprising an intermediate flex section interposed between a head-side section and a grip-side section, a filament winding angle in the flex section being larger than that in the head-side and grip-side sections so that a maximum bendability is provided at the flex section, wherein location of the flex section gradually differs from club to club in the set in order of club number in a manner that any club of smaller number in the set has its flex section closer to its club head than any club of greater number in the set.
