If One Shaft is Good Then Two Shafts Must Be Better..... Right?

By David Dawsey PE Esq

Why hasn?t this club made it to the market? Oh well, I can always dream.

Check out that grip!

The club pictured above is found in USPN 5556345 titled ?Golf Club With Improved Shafts.? The patent describes the invention as:

A golf club adapted to reduce club head rotation during the downswing and when contacting a golf ball, includes a club head, a hand grip portion, and two shafts interconnecting the club head and the hand grip portion. The two shafts converge at the hand grip portion and are spaced from one another at the club head. The second shaft counteracts the tendency of the club head to rotate during the swing and upon contact with the ball. The hand grip portion can employ a grip having at least one flat portion, providing greater directional control over the golf club during the downswing.

Just more proof that golfers (including me) are crazy!
