Abstract: The invention relates to a set of golf clubs employing a two-piece golf club shaft wherein the lengths of the first and second shaft members vary as the loft of the golf club varies. The set of clubs includes a plurality of golf clubs having varying lofts extending from lower loft golf clubs to higher loft golf clubs, wherein each golf club includes a club head and a shaft having a distal end and a butt. Each shaft includes a first member having a first end located at the butt end of the golf club shaft and a second end positioned slightly short of the distal end of the golf club shaft. A second member is secured to the second end of the first member. The second member extends from the second end of the first member to the distal end of the golf club shaft and includes a first end securely coupled to the second end of the first member and a second end which is ultimately secured to a golf club head.

Abstract: A golf club head for hitting a golf ball toward a target has a directional tendency to launch the golf ball in a selected direction. Basic embodiments include a club head having an asymmetric ball striking face such that one side of the face, as measured from the center of the face, has a first bulge radius and the other side of the face has a second bulge radius. The club head assumes a directional tendency in the direction toward the smaller bulge radius. Other embodiments of club heads with a directional tendency have a striking face with a bulge radius apex shifted either right or left of the center of the striking face such that a club face with the bulge radius apex to the left results in a right directional tendency and a club face with a bulge radius apex to the right results in a left directional tendency. Further embodiments of a club head may include a combination of a shifted bulge radius apex and a different radius on each side of the center of the striking face.

Abstract: An iron type golf club head including a bottom sole having a first level support surface at a first angle relative to the ball striking face, a second level support surface at a second angle relative to the ball striking face, and a third level support surface offset laterally from the first and second levels at a third angle relative to the ball striking face.
