  • Patent number: 5575724
    Abstract: An improved golf club having pre-structured alignments between shaft, grip, and head. This structure encompasses a plurality of sides between shaft, grip, and head. One such side is an impact-alignment surface and is on a single plane between shaft, grip, and head. Another side is a target-alignment surface which is on another single plane between shaft, grip, and head. The impact-alignment surface is perpendicular to a striking face of the golf club and to the target-alignment surface. The golf club also has a mounting structure for mounting grip and head to shaft which accurately registers the respective aforesaid alignment surfaces. The mounting structure comprises mating sides between shaft, grip, and head; or cooperating depressions and projections on shaft, grip, and head.
