<p>A golf club shaft having an optimal set of materials and sloped sections provides appropriately high rigidity, ease of use, and is inexpensive and easy to manufacture. A sloped section expands toward a grip end of the shaft. The sloped section has a slope gradient from 15/1000 to 35/1000 and a length from 200 to 350 mm. The outer diameter of the grip end is from 18 to 25 mm. On the side of the sloped section toward an end, there is formed a semi-sloped section with a slope gradient from 4/1000 to 13/1000. A kick point is formed at a position from 40% to 46% from the small-diameter end relative to the total shaft length. The number of required parts is small while production is simple. The shaft is light, has appropriate hardness, and high rigidity at the grip. Furthermore, the strength of the shaft is balanced and provides a good feel when hitting a ball. Production of the golf club shaft can be accomplished with standard materials such as fiber-reinforced resins. By wrapping a fiber-reinforced resin around a mandrel and rolling the material on a base which is heated to an optimal temperature, the strength and rigidity of the shaft can be optimized. Multiple layers can be overlaid to provide any desired strength and rigidity required. The rolled shaft is then heated to set the resin and produce a golf club shaft of optimal performance and reduced cost.</p> |
