However, the golf club shaft shown in FIG. 5 has the following drawbacks because the reinforcing material is adhered to the inner wall of the tube body with an adhesive. . (A) Since the adhesive is interposed between the inner wall and the reinforcing material, the integrity of the pipe body and the reinforcing material is not sufficient, and the reinforcing material does not contribute sufficiently to the improvement of strength. Therefore, the desired bending strength and buckling strength may not be obtained even if the reinforcing material is used. (B) The reinforcing material may come off from the inner wall due to defective adhesion, resulting in a defective product. (C) Since the reinforcing member is manufactured by inserting the reinforcing member into the hollow portion of the pipe main body and adhering the reinforcing member to the inner wall, it is difficult to make the position of the reinforcing member uneven, and it is difficult to make the product uniform.
