Abstract

A golf club includes a golf club head provided with a first hole and a second hole on its bottom side, a shaft detachably fixed to the golf club head, a weight member comprising a first weight member and a second weight member each detachably fixed to the golf club head, and a faster including a first fastener for fixing the shaft and the first weight member to the golf club head through the first hole, and a second fastener for fixing the second weight member to the golf club head through the second hole. The first weight member and the second weight member are configured as mutually replaceable weights so that the first weight member is fixed to the second hole using the second fastener and the second weight member is fixed to the first hole using the first fastener.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A golf club comprising:
a golf club head provided with a first hole and a second hole on its bottom side;
a shaft detachably fixed to the golf club head;
a shaft sleeve adaptor attached to a tip end of the shaft and having a bottom surface provided with a threaded hole extending from the bottom toward the shaft;
a weight member comprising a first weight member and a second weight member each detachably fixed to the golf club head; and
fasteners comprising a first fastener for fixing the shaft and the first weight member to the golf club head through the first hole, and a second fastener for fixing the second weight member to the golf club head through the second hole,
wherein the first weight member and the second weight member are configured as mutually replaceable weights so that the first weight member is fixed to the second hole using the second fastener and the second weight member is fixed to the first hole using the first fastener, and
wherein the first weight member is fixed between the bottom surface of the shaft sleeve adaptor and the first fastener fixed to the threaded hole of the shaft sleeve adaptor.

2. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein the first fastener and the second fastener are configured as mutually replaceable fasteners so that the first fastener fixes the second weight member through the second hole and the second fastener fixes the first weight member and the shaft through the first hole.

3. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein the golf club head further comprises a hosel provided with a shaft insertion hole that comprises an upper opening for insertion of the shaft into the golf club head and a lower opening that opens on the bottom side, and wherein the first hole comprises a space extending upwardly from the lower opening of the shaft insertion hole toward the threaded hole of the shaft sleeve adaptor.

4. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first weight member and the second weight member has a through hole for insertion of the first and second fastener.

5. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first weight member and the second weight member comprises a plurality of weight pieces.

6. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first weight member and the second weight member comprises a pair of weight pieces that have the same shape but different in mass.

7. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the weight pieces of the first weight member are replaceable to a plurality of the weight pieces of the second weight member.

8. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein the first fastener has mass different from that of the second fastener.

9. A golf club comprising:
a golf club head provided with a first hole and a second hole on its bottom side;
a shaft detachably fixed to the golf club head;
a shaft sleeve adaptor attached to a tip end of the shaft and having a bottom surface provided with a threaded hole extending from the bottom toward the shaft;
a weight member comprising a first weight member and a second weight member each detachably fixed to the golf club head; and
fasteners comprising a first fastener for fixing the shaft and the first weight member to the golf club head through the first hole and a second fastener for fixing the second weight member to the golf club head through the second hole,
wherein the first weight member and the second weight member are configured as mutually replaceable weights so that the first weight member is fixed to the second hole using the second fastener and the second weight member is fixed to the first hole using the first fastener, and
wherein the first weight member is fixed between the bottom surface of the shaft sleeve adaptor and the first fastener fixed to the threaded hole of the shaft sleeve adaptor,
the first fastener and the second fastener are configured as mutually replaceable fasteners so that the first fastener fixes the second weight member through the second hole and the second fastener fixes the first weight member and the shaft through the first hole, and
