A golf club (10) including an elongated hollow club shaft (12) connected at one end to a golf club head (14), and having a grip (16) mounted at an opposite end thereof. The club shaft is vented to permit and facilitate transmission of shock energy generated upon normal striking impact with a golf ball from the golf club in the form of acoustic energy, while substantially reducing or eliminating transmission of the shock energy in the form of vibration to the golfer's hands. In a first embodiment, a plurality of vents (24) are formed in the club shaft at a location near the grip. In a second embodiment, a plurality of vents (124) are formed in a cap (26) mounted onto the club shaft at the grip end thereof. |
