Scientifically adaptable driver
First Claim
1. In a golf club denominated a driver and having a handle, a shaft communicating with the handle, and a clubhead attached to the shaft at the end thereof which is opposite to the handle, the clubhead having a top, a bottom, a heel, and a toe;
- the improvement therein for eliminating natural swing problems of a user or effecting a desired change in the flight pattern of a golf ball when struck by the driver, the improvement therein comprising;
a. a first weight located within the clubhead;
b. a first means for adjusting the position of the first weight in an essentially vertical direction within the clubhead, that is, from the top to the bottom thereof,c. a second weight located within the clubhead; and
d. a second means for adjusting the position of the second weight in an essentially horizontal direction within the clubhead, that is, from the heel to the toe thereof;
wherein the first means comprises a first sleeve which is securely positioned essentially vertically within the clubhead and extending from the top to the bottom of the clubhead, the first sleeve having a first threaded shaft for receiving and advancing or retracting the first weight therein, the first weight having threads thereon which mesh with threads of the first threaded shaft of the first sleeve; and
wherein the second means comprises a second sleeve which is securely positioned essentially horizontally within the clubhead and extending from the heel to the toe thereof, the second sleeve having a second threaded shaft for receiving and advancing or retracting the second weight therein, the second weight having threads thereon which mesh with threads of the second threaded shaft of the second sleeve; and
wherein the first threaded shaft includes a threaded area as well as an unthreaded area therein, the unthreaded area thereof being located within the first shaft adjacent to a point of attachment of the first sleeve to the interior of the clubhead, the unthreaded area of the first shaft terminating in a first access port hole; and
wherein the second threaded shaft includes a threaded area as well as an unthreaded area therein, the unthreaded area thereof being located within the second shaft adjacent to a point of attachment of the second sleeve to the interior of the clubhead, the unthreaded area of the second shaft terminating in a second access port hole.

Abstract
An improved golf ball driver has a first weight positioned within the clubhead of the driver, and a first means for adjusting the first weight in a generally vertical direction within the clubhead, that is, from top to bottom thereof. The improved driver also has a second weight positioned within the clubhead, and a second means for adjusting the second weight in a generally horizontal direction within the clubhead, that is from the heel to the toe thereof. Adjusting the weights allows a golfer to eliminate natural swing problems and/or to make a desired change in the flight pattern of a golf ball when it is struck by the driver.
