<p>A slotted hosel (12) and related attachment system and method are provided for securely affixing a golf club head (10) to the end of a golf club shaft (14). The hosel (12) is formed to extend generally cylindrical upwardly from a heel end of the club head and has a generally cylindrical shape defining an upwardly open hosel bore. At least one and preferably multiple laterally open slot (16) are formed in the hosel (12) to reduce the weight thereof. A relatively thin-walled liner sleeve (18) is slide-fitted into the hosel bore and thereafter expanded to form dimples therein protruding outwardly into secure mechanical interlocking relation with the hosel (12). The end of the club shaft (14) is thereafter slide-fitted into the liner sleeve (18) and securely affixed therein by epoxy of the like.</p> |
