Abstract
A cartridge holder for a ballistic impeller golf-club of the type having 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. The cartridge holder is adapted to be rotatably disposed on the golf club to rotated about an axis of symmetry with a plurality of cartridges retained by the cartridge holder so as to produce a rapidly expanding gas along a direction transverse to the axis of symmetry.
