Abstract

A tubular golf club shaft generally a tubular metal shaft (1, 3, 10, 13, 16, 19), is provided in which the wall of the shaft has a series of deformations (2, 4, 7, 9, 15, 18) or apertures (11, 13) in its wall extending over at least a part of its length. The deformations or apertures are adapted to increase at least one of the flexibility and shock absorbency of that part of the length of the shaft.
