IMPROVED GOLF CLUB SHAFTS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

An improved shaft for a golf club and methods of manufacturing the same. One or more layers of a loaded film (10) are used to define in part the overall weight, swing weight and/or balance point of a golf club shaft, without significantly affecting the flexibility and/or torsional characteristics of the shaft. A set of plies of pre-preg composite fiber sheet (11-22) and loaded film (10) may be wrapped in a predetermined manner around a mandrel, placed in a mold, and heated for a predetermined period of time to form a shaft for a golf club.
