20100035697Golf club moveable disc shaft angle adjustment technology - Golf club moveable disc shaft angle adjustment technology that allows the angle of the shaft of a golf club (ie. the lie) to adjust in small increments, prevents movement as is the case with gears or teeth, and eliminates the use of small, difficult-to-handle parts such as a ball bearing. The front of the club head consists of a round opening that accepts a corresponding thin round member. The face of the club head inside the round opening on the club head consists of a series of divots. The face of the thin round member that opposes the face of the club head inside the round opening on the club head has protrusions. The protrusions and divots allow the thin round member to be seated firmly in one of a number of allowable positions. The face of the thin round member that faces away from the club head consists of a series of divots, each of which corresponds to a unique shaft angle when the thin round member is in a particular allowable position. The round opening in the front of the club head also accepts a corresponding round member on the end of the shaft (also called “round shaft member”). This round member on the end of the shaft slides into the round opening in the front of the club head after the thin round member is seated firmly in one of the allowable positions. The face of the round shaft member that opposes the face of the thin round member has a protrusion. The protrusion will insert into one of the divots on the face of the thin round member, resulting in an allowable shaft angle. Inside the round opening in the front of the club head is a smaller round opening that extends through the back of the club head. The round member on the end of the shaft has an attached threaded post that inserts through the thin round member and into the smaller round opening of the club head, and allows for the tightening of both the round shaft member and the thin round member to the club head from the back of the club head with a nut.02-11-2010
