Abstract

A golf club includes a shaft having prepreg sheets wound thereon, each of the prepreg sheets being formed by orienting reinforcing fibers in one direction and then by impregnating the fibers with a synthetic resin. The shaft includes an oblique fiber layer formed by winding the prepreg sheets 7a and 7b, each having the reinforcing fibers oriented in a direction oblique relative to an axis of the shaft, in such a superposed manner that the directions of orientation of the reinforcing fibers of the prepreg sheets cross each other, and a thickness of each of the prepreg sheets 7a and 7b, constituting the oblique fiber layer, is not more than 0.06 mm.
