Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the easy adjustment of a swing balance with high accuracy by providing a hosel part with a lower hole extending to the sole side of a head body on the substantial extension line of the insertion hole of the hosel part so as to house a weight for ballance adjusment. SOLUTION: The lower hole 10 extending to the sole 1A side of the head body 1 is formed on the substantial extension line of the insertion hole 3 of the hosel part 2. This lower hole 10 is internally provided with a weight 11 for balance adjustment. The insertion hole 3 communicates with the lower hole 10. The lower hole 10 is formed slightly smaller than the diameter of the insertion hole 3. The diameters of both 3, 10 may be the same. An adhesive is poured into the insertion hole 3 and the lower hole 10. On the other hand, an adhesive is applied on the weight 11 and the front end of the shaft 4 to adhere the weight 11 and the front end of the shaft 4 into the insertion hole 3 and the lower hole 10, respectively. The weight 11 is composed of four kinds; for example, a weight made of about 0.5-g plastics, a weight made of about 1.0-g aluminum alloy, a weight made of about 2.0-g stainless steel and a weight made of about 3.0-g lead.

When the balance is adjusted by this method, the weight is not firmly fixed due to the dry state of the adhesive for bonding the head and the shaft or the degree of the cork stopper, and the weight moves inside the shaft. If this happens, the performance and quality of the club may deteriorate. In addition, since the speed of drying of the adhesive may be affected by the environment such as the season and the weather, it requires skill and skill such as speed and intuition. In addition, since a padding such as a weight is applied to the head side tip of the hole of the tubular shaft, depending on the amount of the padding, if the padding reaches above the root of the shaft, the shaft easily breaks at the shaft root. The performance and quality of the club may deteriorate due to changes in the bending of the shaft. Also, the diameter of the hole of the shaft is often different depending on the shaft, and even if the same amount of padding is used, there may be a difference between those that are above the root of the shaft and those that are not. When adjusting like this,
There were many points to be aware of, and defects were likely to occur.
