Abstract
A sole contains a plurality of resilient claw-shaped lugs mounted on the side perimeter of the sole. The lugs face downwardly and curve inwardly to form an extension overhanging, the sole having an undercut of from 5-30 degrees forming pointed ends. As the sole is planted the pointed ends grip the surface. The resilient curved ends are compressed until they contact the sole. As the sole is raised the lugs raise toward their original position allowing rotation of the sole during a golf club swing.
