Abstract: A golf club comprising an elongated shaft, a club head at one end of the shaft having a face, a heel portion, a toe portion and a sole portion; a lie angle configured to maintain the impact point of a golf ball on the club face when the impact point is offset from the center of mass, said lie angle being the angle subtended by the axis of the shaft and a horizontal plane tangent to the sole of the club wherein the sole of the club at the point where a vertical line through the club head center of gravity intersects said sole.

Abstract: A golf club with a gripping section at one end and a club head having a heel portion and a toe portion, attached to the shaft at the other end wherein said shaft centerline and a plane parallel to the ground and tangent to said heel form a lie angle when said club head is at rest and positioned to strike said golf ball; a club head whose mass distribution is concentrated at said toe and heel; a club face on said club head operable for striking a golf ball and spanning the area between said heel and said toe of said club head and having a heel to toe and sole to the top of club head bulge defined by a radius whose center is offset toward said heel and whose arc is swept from heel to toe of said club face; a lie angle configured to maintain the impact point of said golf ball on said club face when said impact point is off the center of mass.
