Abstract
A golf club head with a body of substantially conventional shape having an aerodynamically shaped shank for less drag, increased mass in the body and resulting increased club head speed. The hosel is configured to fit within the shaft to further reduce mass outside the body, thereby further increasing mass of the body for a given swing weight. The result of increased body mass and reduced drag is measurably greater distance in flight of the ball hit with the same energy applied as compared with a conventional golf club.
