Abstract: A golf club is described, in which the weight of the head is increased compared with conventional clubs, and in which the upper part of the shaft is also increased in weight, whereby the centre of gravity is disposed in the central zone of the shaft. Preferably, the weight distribution within the head of the club is such that, with the club balanced about its centre of gravity, the shaft will rotate until the face of the club faces upwardly and preferably essentially parallel with the ground whereby, in striking the ball, the inertia of the head is such as to resist any tendency for the club to rotate or twist about the longitudinal axis of the shaft in the hands of the player.
