<p>A golf club shaft of increased playability and feel is manufactured with a generally hollow and tapered cylindrical wall (10a, 10c) comprised of a plurality of layers of glass fibers and a resin binding the plurality of layers of glass fibers together into an integrated structure. The shaft includes a portion (11) of constant outer diameter adjacent one end adapted to accept a grip and a portion (12) of a smaller constant diameter adjacent the other adapted to be fitted to the hosel of a club head and a portion (13) intermediate the two end portions with a uniformly tapering diameter. The golf club comprises a plurality of layers of glass fibers arranged and oriented within the shaft (10) to resist torsional deflection and to provide a controlled and variable flexural resistance, permitting the player to recover energy stored in the shaft (10) during the swing and to apply the energy to the ball for greater distance.</p> |
