Patent ID: 8632417

Claim:
A golf club head/shaft connection assembly, comprising: a first cylindrical structure having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first end includes a first opening that defines a cylindrical interior chamber for receiving a golf club shaft, wherein an exterior surface of the cylindrical structure nearer to the first end than the second end includes a first rotation-inhibiting structure, and wherein the second end includes a securing structure; a second cylindrical structure having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first end defines an opening to a borehole for receiving the first cylindrical structure, wherein an interior surface of the second cylindrical structure nearer to the first end than the second end includes a second rotation-inhibiting structure, wherein an outer cylindrical surface of the second cylindrical structure extends in a first axial direction and the interior cylindrical surface of the borehole extends in a second axial direction that differs from the first axial direction, thereby creating a face angle offset for the second cylindrical structure, and further wherein the second cylindrical structure is reversible and orientable in two positions 180 degrees apart between an open face angle offset and a closed face angle offset; and a securing system for releasably engaging the securing structure.
