  • Patent number: 5390920
    Abstract: A golf club having an adjustable head with a positive locking mechanism. The lower end of the golf club shaft terminates in a spherical ball which is restrained within a cooperating bore in the golf club head which permits free rotational and pivotal movement of the head with respect to the shaft. A locking screw, when tightened within the bore, holds the pivot ball in place against rotational and pivotal motion. A portion of the locking screw is designed to break off after tightening so that the position of the head cannot be changed during play.
