Abstract
A golf club comprises a handle and a head having a planar face, a toe portion, a heel portion, and a center of percussion between the toe and heel portions. A dual shaft extends from the handle, comprising a toe shaft and a heel shaft joined respectively to the toe portion and the heel portion of the head. The toe and heel shafts extend into and define the handle. The toe shaft overlies the heel shaft within the handle to define a handle plane which is parallel to the plane of the club head face to give a user an indication through the grip of the orientation of the club face. The toe shaft and the heel shaft diverge at their junction with the handle and extend to the head without interconnection therebetween to mutually independently control the torque applied to the head when a golf ball is impacted off the center of percussion.
