  • Patent number: 4549357
    Abstract: A golf club adjuster employs a base within which the head of a golf club is immobilized for purposes of adjusting the lie and loft angles of the club. The surface of the base which contacts the sole of the golf club head is inclined relative to the horizontal at an angle of between about 20.degree. and about 40.degree.. The surface of the base which contacts the face of the golf club head is inclined relative to the vertical at an angle of between about 5.degree. and about 30.degree.. When a golf club head is immobilized in a base having such a configuration the neck of the club can be twisted, for adjustment as necessary, to properly define a fulcrum so as to impart spin to a golf ball struck by a player who uses an oval swing.
