  • Golf club shafts having variable taper lengths
    Patent number: 6984179
    Abstract: A golf club set which comprises a plurality of golf clubs having shafts of different tapered section lengths, at least two golf club shafts of the set having differing taper lengths and preferably differing taper angles, the tapered section length of the shaft increases as the shaft length increases for each club throughout the set, and vice versa. Accordingly, each shaft throughout the set of shafts has a distinct taper length. The distinct variable taper clubs provide efficient energy transfer, better feel perception by the golfer, greater ball flight distance, less ball flight dispersion, and greater club stability.
