Abstract: A golf club includes a club head and a club shaft attached to the club head. A plurality of bends which are spaced from one another are formed in the club shaft to define a straight first club shaft segment, a second club shaft segment adjoining and connected to the first club shaft segment extending upwardly from and laterally relative to the first club shaft segment, and a third club shaft segment adjoining and connected to the second club shaft segment and extending upwardly from and laterally relative to the second club shaft segment. The first club shaft segment and the third club shaft segment extend along spaced imaginary lines and the club head is closer to the golfer swinging the golf club than would be the case if the club shaft were straight along the length thereof.

Abstract: A golf club including a club shaft having two shaft segments offset from one another to bring the club head of the club closer to the golfer employing the club than would be the case if the club shaft were straight along its entire length. The club is part of a set of golf clubs wherein the offset is greater in shorter clubs of the set than in longer clubs of the set.
