Abstract

A club head assembly for a golf club is disclosed, which has a club head having a face defined thereon and a passage defined therein parallel to the longitudinal axis of the face, and a shaft having a distal end extending and bending therefrom with a predetermined angle, said distal end inserted into and fixedly locked in the passage.

Claims

1. A club head assembly for a golf club, comprising:

a club head forming a hollow body, said club head including a face with a longitudinal axis defined thereon, a wall surrounding said face, and a passage defined to have a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the face and an inlet defined thereon; and

a shaft with a distal end extending and bending therefrom with a predetermined angle and being fixedly inserted through the inlet into the passage of the club head, wherein the passage is formed by a tube integrally extending from the surrounding wall into the club head.

2. The club head assembly for a golf club as claimed in claim 1, wherein a recess is further formed on the surrounding wall of the club head near the inlet of the tube to receive a part of the shaft.

3. The club head assembly for a golf club as claimed in claim 1, wherein a recess is further formed on the club head near the inlet of the passage to receive a part of the shaft.

4. The club head assembly for a golf club as claimed in claim 1, wherein adhesives are used to fix the distal end in the passage.

5. The club head assembly for a golf club as claimed in claim 1, wherein screws are used to fix the distal end in the passage.

6. A club head assembly for a golf club comprising:

a club head forming a hollow body, said club head including a face with a longitudinal axis defined thereon, a wall surrounding the face, and a passage defined to have a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the face and an inlet defined thereon; and

a shaft with a distal end extending and bending therefrom at a predetermined angle and being adapted to be inserted through the inlet into a passage of the club head,

wherein the passage is formed by two tubes each integrally extending from the wall into the head body and being aligned with each other, one of said two tubes having an inlet to allow the distal end of the shaft to pass therethrough.

7. The club head assembly for a golf club as claimed in claim 6, wherein a recess further extends from the inlet of the tube to receive a part of the shaft.
