Abstract
This disclosed subject matter provides twin-axis sports equipment wherein a structure connecting a main shaft and a striking portion comprises two axes. The sports equipment can be a golf club, a hockey stick, an ice hockey stick, a tennis racket, a badminton racket, or the like. The striking portion can be configured as the striking portion of a golf club driver, wood, iron or putter, and can include a golf club driver, wood, iron, or putter having a punched hole or a dimple. A void can be formed in the striking portion, from a toe side and a heel side of the striking portion, which further connects with a main shaft.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A golf club, wherein said striking portion is at least one of a golf club driver, a golf club wood, a golf club iron, and a golf club putter, and the striking portion includes one of a cave, a hole, and a dimple.
2 . The golf club of claim 1 , further comprising:
a main shaft having a main longitudinal axis and being connected to the striking portion; and a second shaft connected to the striking portion and having a second longitudinal axis separate from the main longitudinal axis.
3 . The golf club of claim 1 , wherein the striking portion having a heel portion, a striking face, and a surface opposed to the striking face;
a main shaft having a main longitudinal axis and being connected to the striking portion; an auxiliary shaft having an auxiliary longitudinal axis, wherein one end of the auxiliary shaft is connected to the main shaft, and an opposite end of the auxiliary shaft is connected to the surface opposed to the striking face.
4 . The golf club of claim 1 , further comprising:
a main shaft having a main shaft longitudinal axis, wherein the striking portion is connected to the main shaft and includes a striking face having a toe side and an opposed heel side; and a bridge portion configured in an upright fashion and including a toe portion formed from the toe side of the striking portion and a heel portion formed from the heel side of said striking portion, the heel portion from said heel side connects to the main shaft, and a void is formed by said bridge portion and an upper surface of said striking portion.
5 . The golf club according to claim 2 , wherein said main longitudinal axis forms an angle between 0 and 90 degrees with the second longitudinal axis.
6 . The golf club according to claim 2 , wherein the striking portion includes a striking face having a toe side and an opposed heel side and the striking portion includes an opposing side directly opposed to the striking face, and the main shaft is connected to the heel side of the striking face, and the second shaft is connected to the opposing side directly opposed to the striking face.
7 . The golf club according to claim 6 , wherein the striking face is substantially parallel with the main longitudinal axis, and the striking face forms an acute angle with respect to the second longitudinal axis.
8 . The golf club according to claim 2 , wherein the striking portion includes a striking face having a toe side and an opposed heel side and the striking portion includes an opposing side directly opposed to the striking face, and the main shaft is connected to the heel side of the striking face, and the second shaft is connected to the toe side of the striking face to form a bridge portion.
9 . The golf club according to claim 2 , wherein the striking portion includes a striking face having a toe side and an opposed heel side and the striking portion includes an opposing side directly opposed to the striking face, the striking portion further including a hole extending therethrough and located between the striking face and the opposing side.
10 . The golf club according to claim 9 , wherein the hole has a central axis extending therethrough that is substantially parallel with the striking face of the striking portion.
11 . The golf club according to claim 2 , wherein the main shaft, the second shaft, and a top surface of the striking portion define a void.
12 . The golf club according to claim 11 , wherein the striking portion includes a striking face having a toe side and an opposed heel side and the striking portion includes an opposing side directly opposed to the striking face, and
the void is a through hole that has a central axis extending therethrough that is substantially perpendicular to the main longitudinal axis.
13 . The golf club according to claim 2 , wherein the main shaft has a first end connected to the striking portion and an opposite end configured for a user to grip, and the second shaft has a first end connected to the striking portion and an opposed second end connected to the main shaft at a location that is closer to the first end of the main shaft than the opposite end of the main shaft.Cited by (0)
