Abstract
A golf club includes a clubhead and a curved or bent shaft which has a tip end which extends at an angle relative to the remainder of the shaft. The tip end of the shaft is attached to a hosel on the clubhead and extends upwardly and forwardly from the clubhead. The upper end of the shaft extends away from the clubhead to provide the lie angle of the club. The angled tip end moves the upper end of the shaft forwardly relative to the center of gravity of the clubhead, and increases the ability to rotate the face of the clubhead back to a square position during the golf swing.
