Abstract
A golf club with an improved head and hosel design which reduces off-center drag, and corresponding twist, experienced by the head as it traverses through a viscous medium such as sand, high grass, mud, or water. The base of the hosel is formed above its traditional position adjacent the sole of the club and is specially shaped so that the horizontal position of the center of drag of the head remains aligned with the center of percussion of the head even when the club is used to hit a golf ball resting in a viscous medium. This eliminates the twisting moment which usually results from the off-center drag caused by the hosel, and assists a golfer in maintaining the proper ball contact angle during the swing so that the golf ball is less likely to diverge from its intended path.
