A lightweight composite golf club shaft and method for its manufacture. The shaft preferably includes at least two biased plies extending approximately the length of the shaft and at least two longitudinal plies extending substantially less than the length of the shaft. The at least two biased plies contain fibers oriented at a substantial angle transverse to a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The at least two longitudinal plies contain fibers oriented approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. One of the at least two longitudinal plies aligns with the tip end of the shaft. One of the at least two longitudinal plies aligns with the butt end of the shaft. The at least two longitudinal plies at least partially overlap each other. The method for constructing such a shaft preferably includes rolling the plies onto a mandrel to form a rolled assembly where the plies are then fused together.
