Abstract
Various forms of golf clubs are disclosed, which include one or more inflatable bladders in the golf club head and/or golf club shaft, as well as internal and external grooving of the golf club shaft. Such golf clubs have enhanced characteristics for driving a golf ball to move in a desired trajectory. The unique structural components of the golf club provide for reinforcing, rigidifying, reducing weight and more effective control of the golf club during the swing. A higher club head speed when impacting a golf ball, more stability on off center hits, reduced vibration upon ball impact, improved sound characteristics, and improved "feel" can be achieved.
