Golf club shaft set

Abstract

A set of golf club shafts is provided including a plurality of shafts progressively increasing in length. Each shaft includes a butt section formed of a first material coupled to a tip section formed of a second, different material. The length of each tip section is inversely proportional to the overall length of the shaft. As such, the tip sections progressively decrease in length as the plurality of shafts progressively increase in length.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A set of golf club shafts comprising: 
 a plurality of shafts progressively increasing in length, each of said shafts including: 
 a butt section; and  
 a tip section coupled to said butt section, said tip section being formed of a different material than said butt section;  
   wherein a length of each tip section progressively decreases as said plurality of shafts progressively increase in length.    
     
     
         2 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 1  wherein a length of said butt section progressively increases as said plurality of shafts progressively increase in length.  
     
     
         3 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 1  wherein a length of said tip section of a shortest one of said shafts is about 30-33 percent of an entire length of said shortest one of said shafts.  
     
     
         4 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 1  wherein a length of said tip section of a shortest one of said shafts is between about 10.5 and 12.5 inches.  
     
     
         5 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 1  wherein a length of said tip section of a longest one of said shafts is about 17-19 percent of an entire length of said longest one of said shafts shaft.  
     
     
         6 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 1  wherein a length of said tip section of a longest one of said shafts is between about 6.5 and 8.5 inches.  
     
     
         7 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 1  wherein each tip section progressively decreases in length by about 0.5 inch.  
     
     
         8 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 1  wherein said butt section further comprises a composite material.  
     
     
         9 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 1  wherein said tip section further comprises a metal material.  
     
     
         10 . A set of golf clubs comprising: 
 a plurality of club heads progressively decreasing in loft;    a plurality of shafts independently coupled to said plurality of club heads, each of said shafts including: 
 a butt section; and  
 a tip section coupled to said butt section, said tip section being formed of a different material than said butt section;  
   wherein a length of each tip section progressively decreases as said plurality of club heads progressively decrease in loft.    
     
     
         11 . The set of golf clubs of  claim 10  wherein a length of said butt section progressively increases as said plurality of club heads progressively decrease in loft.  
     
     
         12 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 10  wherein a length of said tip section of a shortest one of said shafts is about 30-33 percent of an entire length of said shortest one of said shafts.  
     
     
         13 . The set of golf clubs of  claim 10  wherein a length of said tip section of a shortest one of said shafts is between about 10.5 and 12.5 inches.  
     
     
         14 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 10  wherein a length of said tip section of a longest one of said shafts is about 17-19 percent of an entire length of said longest one of said shafts shaft.  
     
     
         15 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 10  wherein a length of said tip section of a longest one of said shafts is between about 6.5 and 8.5 inches.  
     
     
         16 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 10  wherein each tip section progressively decreases in length by about 0.5 inch.  
     
     
         17 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 10  wherein said butt section further comprises a composite material.  
     
     
         18 . The set of golf club shafts of  claim 10  wherein said tip section further comprises a metal material.  
     
     
         19 . A set of golf club shafts comprising: 
 a first shaft having a first length, the first shaft including a first butt section coupled to a first tip section, the first tip section being formed of a different material than said first butt section; and    a second shaft having a second length, the second shaft including a second butt section coupled to a second tip section, the second tip section being formed of a different material than said second butt section;    wherein said first shaft is longer than said second shaft and said first tip section is shorter than said second tip section.
