Abstract
A golf club shaft is composed of a fiber layer formed by employing a filament winding process using filaments each impregnated with a thermosetting resin, and a reinforcement layer formed by partially inserting a braid impregnated with a thermosetting resin onto a predetermined position on the fiber layer. A method of producing a golf club shaft of the foregoing type comprises a step of winding filaments each impregnated with a thermosetting resin around a mandrel to form a fiber layer, a step of inserting a braid composed of filaments each impregnated with a thermosetting resin onto a predetermined position on the fiber layer, a step of allowing the thermosetting resin to be thermally cured, and a step of disconnecting the mandrel.
