Abstract
A ballistic impeller golf club includes a piston and a explosive charge disposed within the head of the golf club. The piston is adapted to travel outwardly from the club head in response to a rapidly expanding gas produced by the explosive charge. A golf-ball, disposed proximate to the club, is struck by the piston, thereby causing the golf-ball to travel a predetermined distance. A range control system is disposed within the club head which allows varying the force that will be imparted on a golf-ball by the piston.
