Patent

CA 2246965

A self aligning, low or no self-torque club that is both statically and dynamically balanced is provided which is less prone to deleterious effects during its approach to and in the course of striking the ball and which enables the club head to be more square at the point of impact more often. Static balance is achieved by ensuring the longitudinal axis of the shaft intersects the line between the geometric center of the club face and the center of gravity of the club head. The club is self-aligning because the center of gravity naturally follows the shaft, the point of application of force on the club head, and since the shaft and center of gravity are in line with the center of the club face, the possibility of striking the ball with the club face square increases. By providing a symmetrical and, preferably elliptical face, forces due to air resistance act equally on both sides of the face with respect to the shaft further aligning the club face with the swing path of the club head. The club head may also be provided with a series of convergent longitudinal channels in the direction of air flow over the club to further align the club head. The channels serve to stabilize the club head during downswing and move the center of pressure toward the rear of the club and as far behind the axis of the shaft as possible and, preferably, in-line with the center of gravity and the club face. The symmetrical nature of the club head permits, in one embodiment, the same club head to be used for right- or left-handed golfers. Also provided is a set of clubs according to the invention, which due to their similar static and dynamic balance and similar shape and configuration, provide a similar feel and play throughout the entire range of lofts.
