  • Patent number: 7695375
    Abstract: A front of the club head consists of a round opening that accepts a corresponding round member on the end of the shaft. The face of the club inside the round opening on the club head as well as the face of the shaft member that opposes the face of the club inside the round opening on the club head includes half-spherical divots. Opposing divots are positioned in-line when the shaft is at an allowable angle. A ball bearing inserts into the in-line divots prior to sliding the shaft member into the club head opening to prevent movement when tightened. Inside the club head round opening is a smaller round opening that extends through the back of the club head. The round member on the end of the shaft has an attached threaded post that inserts into the smaller round opening on the club head.

  • Patent number: 7695376
    Abstract: Technology that allows the angle of the shaft of a golf club to adjust in small increments. The front of the club head consists of a round opening that accepts a corresponding thin round member which can be rotated to a number of positions. The round opening also accepts a corresponding round member on the end of the shaft. This round member slides into the round opening in the front of the club head after the thin round member is seated firmly. A protrusion on the round shaft member will insert into one of the many divots on the opposing face of the thin round member, resulting in an allowable shaft angle.

  • Publication number: 20100035697
    Abstract: Golf club moveable disc shaft angle adjustment technology that allows the angle of the shaft of a golf club (ie. the lie) to adjust in small increments, prevents movement as is the case with gears or teeth, and eliminates the use of small, difficult-to-handle parts such as a ball bearing. The front of the club head consists of a round opening that accepts a corresponding thin round member. The face of the club head inside the round opening on the club head consists of a series of divots. The face of the thin round member that opposes the face of the club head inside the round opening on the club head has protrusions. The protrusions and divots allow the thin round member to be seated firmly in one of a number of allowable positions. The face of the thin round member that faces away from the club head consists of a series of divots, each of which corresponds to a unique shaft angle when the thin round member is in a particular allowable position.

The front of the club head consists of a round opening that accepts a corresponding round member on the end of the shaft. The face of the club inside the round opening on the club head consists of a series of half-spherical divots. The face of the shaft member that opposes the face of the club inside the round opening on the club head also has half-spherical divots. Opposing divots are positioned such that two opposing divots are perfectly in-line when the shaft is at an allowable angle. A ball bearing inserts into the perfectly in-line divots prior to sliding the shaft member into the club head opening to prevent movement when tightened. Inside the club head round opening is a smaller round opening that extends through the back of the club head.
