Abstract
A golf club useful as a putter and including an elongate club shaft terminating at a lower end in a coupling structure for attachment to a cooperating coupling carried by an upper end of a stub shaft of any of a family of selectable putter heads. In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the club shaft carries a yoke, and the stub shaft of the club head carries a disc. The disc is slideably received between spaced parallel plates of the yoke. A hinge-like camming lever is pivotal to draw the plates of the yoke together to lock and to secure interference-faced surfaces of the disc and the plates together to establish selectable, vertical angular attitudes of the club head, to meet a golfer's particular preference or needs.
