A golf club includes a club head and a club shaft attached to the club
head. A plurality of bends which are spaced from one another are formed in
the club shaft to define a straight first club shaft segment, a second
club shaft segment adjoining and connected to the first club shaft segment
extending upwardly from and laterally relative to the first club shaft
segment, and a third club shaft segment adjoining and connected to the
second club shaft segment and extending upwardly from the laterally
relative to the second club shaft segment. The first club shaft segment
and the third club shaft segment extend along spaced imaginary lines and
the club head is closer to the golfer swinging the golf club than would be
the case if the club shaft were straight along the length thereof.
