1. In a golf club having an elongated shaft and a head having a central axis, the head being connected to the shaft so that the central axis of the head intersects and extends at an angle to said shaft so that the shaft and the central axis of the head lie in a common plane, the improvement comprising:
- the head comprising a heel section fixed to one end of the shaft and an adjustable section, rotatable supported relative to the heel section, having a plurality of planar faces extending in planes parallel to the central axis, the adjustable section being rotatable about its central axis to any one of a plurality of orientations, so that in each rotational position one of the planar faces is disposed in a ball-impacting position relative to the shaft, at least certain of the planar faces having different rebound factors when impacting a ball.

Abstract
A golf club having a shaft and an elongated head projecting at a lie angle relative to the shaft, the head having the shape of a regular polygon in a cross section at right angles to the central axis of the head, with each face being formed of a material that provides a different ball rebound factor, the head section being rotatable about the central axis so that any one of the faces may be presented for use with the club.

12. In a golf club having an elongated shaft and a head having a central axis, the head being connected to the shaft so that the central axis of the head intersects and extends at an angle to said shaft, the improvement comprising:
the head comprising a heel section fixed relative to the shaft and an adjustable section, rotatably supported relative to the shaft and heel section, which is square in cross section in a plane normal to the central axis, with four planar faces, the adjustable section being rotatable about its central axis to any one of four orientations, so that in each rotational position one of the planar faces of the square is disposed in a ball-impacting position relative to the shaft, at least certain of the planar faces having different rebound factors when impacting a ball.
