Patent ID: 7775902

Claim:
A golf club comprising: a. a first shaft member having a proximal end and a distal end, a first sidewall defining a cavity at the proximal end, the cavity having a mouth; b. a second shaft member having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end configured to at least in part pass through the mouth and into the cavity, one of said first or second shaft members having a club head at its distal end; c. a first fastener and a second fastener, both fasteners configured to releasably connect the proximal end of the second shaft member with the first sidewall of the first shaft member, the fasteners being spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal axis of the proximal end of the second shaft member to define a separation between the fasteners, the first fastener comprising a first ring positioned about the proximal end of the second shaft member, the first ring configured to expand radially to releasably engage the first sidewall; and d. a biasing member configured to exert a bias to simultaneously urge both fasteners to engage the first sidewall; wherein when the club is assembled, the first and second fasteners provide concurrent releasable engagement between the proximal end of the second shaft member and the first sidewall, to releasably connect the first and second shaft members; the separation and the bias imparting counterbalanced engagement between the first and second shaft members.
