A golf club of the metal wood-type and club head therefor is disclosed. The golf club (10) comprises a metallic club head (12) having a shaft receiving bore (32), and a metallic shaft (14) which is inserted into the bore. An insert (44), which is less hard than the shaft, is inserted into the upper end of the bore for cushioning the shaft from fracture. A shoulder (38) is formed in the bore for positioning the insert. The shoulder may be formed by a counter-bore or by a tubular sleeve which is inserted into the bore. The shaft extends through the insert and into the bore of the club head. The insert, which is positioned between the shaft and the wall of the bore or counter-bore, cushions the shaft from stresses which tend to cause fracture of the shaft at the point at which it enters the club head.
