A golf club tailored to the requirements of an individual player is assembled from the combination of a club head and a shaft assembly selected from a range of club heads and shaft assemblies having a variety of characteristics. In particular, the shaft assemblies each have a lower end portion defining an axis which is inclined with respect to an axis defined by the remainder of the shaft assembly. By allowing the lower portion of the shaft assembly to be fitted into a bore in the club head in a number of different rotational positions the lie and face angle of the head can be varied without exchanging club heads, thereby allowing a retail outlet to provide a wide choice of club characteristics without having to keep a large stock. The inclination of the lower end portion of the shaft assembly is achieved by fitting a tubular bush to the lower end of the shaft, the bush having a generally cylindrical outer surface for engaging the wall of the bore in the club head and defining a longitudinal axis which is inclined with respect to the axis of shaft. Means are provided for calibrating the rotational position of the bush in the club head to achieve a required face angle and lift combination. Once a suitable rotational position has been selected the shaft assembly is bonded in the head, with a pin passing through the shaft assembly and the head for additional anchorage. |
