A right hand golf club assembly is used by a right hand golfer. A left hand golf club assembly is used by a left hand golfer. This required two separate golf club assemblies. The center-line of the grip and shaft is located off center to the sweet spot and center-line of the head, and has a offset of 1.5-2.0 inches. This offset will produce a torsional deflection about the centerline of the shaft when the golfer drives a golf ball, which will cause the ball to travel to the left or right of its target (depending on a R.H. or L.H. golfer swing), The reason for the condition is that the sweet spot and the center-line of the club head makes contact with the golf ball and this offset (1.5 to 2.0 inches) produces a torque about the center line of the grip and shaft. This torque is great enough to cause the club head face to rotate about the center line of to grip and shaft, causing the golf ball trajectory to be right or left of its target. The same is true when a right or left hand golfer produces a divot. When the centroid of the divot is off center to the center line of the grip and shaft, it also produces a torque about the center line of the grip and shaft. The summation of both torques are great enough to cause the club head face to rotate about the center line of the grip and shaft, which causes the golf ball trajectory to be right or left of its target, depending on a right or left hand golfer.
The presently preferred embodiment of the invention of a “Ambidextrous Golf Club Assembly” consisting of a golf shaft and grip which is attached to the golf club head. The center line of the grip and shaft is attached to the club head so that its center-line will intersect with the center of gravity and the centerline of the club head, and the head is designed to be symmetrical about a vertical plane that coincides with the centerline of the shaft. The centerline of the head is a line drawn from the center of gravity to a perpendicular line that is on the flat surface of the head or a perpendicular line that is tangent to a curved concaved or convex surface, and is parallel to the ground, and is at the same height as the center of gravity of the head. The sweet spot on the club head face is where the center-line of the club head will pierce the club head face surface. This club head includes a highlighted straight line above and parallel to the center-line of the club head. This acts as a sight line to assist the golfer to align the club head with the center of the golf ball, and align it with a imaginary line that is going from the center of the golf ball to its target. The lie of the golf club is of any angle to the ground line. The centerline of the shaft is of any angle to the center-line of the head in the top and end view. The loft of the golf club is of any angle to the ground line. The claims for this invention are for any size golf clubs.
The advantage of the “Ambidextrous Golf Club Assembly ” will show that one golf club assembly is being used by a ambidextrous golfer. The following is a detail discussion and the accompanying drawings in which:
Referring now to the drawings where in the presently preferred embodiment of this invention is illustrated.
A ambidextrous golfer can use the same golf dub when being used as a right hand or left hand golf club. By aligning the sweet spot of the head with the center of the ball, and align the sight line of the club head, so as to coincide with a imaginary line that is drawn from the center of the ball to its target. He should re-grip the club shaft after this adjustment and keep the desired club head position that was set for the club head intact. He is now ready to drive the ball to its target. When the sweet spot of the club head contacts the ball, it will drive the ball further and with more accuracy to its target, because it has no moment of inertia that is creating a torque about the center-line of the shaft.
