Golf shaft with grooves for improved aerodynamics

Abstract

An improved golf shaft (100,200) extending from the grip at the butt end of shaft till the neck at the tip end of the shaft, whereto said shaft is having grooves (202, 302, 402, 502, 602, 702) on the outer surface of the golf shaft winding around in a constant pitch on the circumference of the golf shaft forming a thread so that the grooves allow air to be distributed around the circumference of the shaft to help reduce drag forces on the shaft.

1 . An improved golf shaft ( 100 , 200 ) extending from the grip at the butt end of shaft till the neck at the tip end of the shaft, wherein said shaft is having grooves ( 202 , 302 , 402 , 502 , 602 , 702 ) on the outer surface of the golf shaft forming a thread so that the grooves allow air to be distributed around the circumference of the shaft to help reduce drag forces on the shaft 
     
     
         2 - 6 . 
     
     
         7 . The golf shaft as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said grooves are made of the materials selected from metallic, non-metallic, composite or silicone material 
     
     
         8 . The golf shaft as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said grooves are molded or attached to the shaft with adhesives such that the grooves are non-removable and permanently attached to the shaft 
     
     
         9 . The golf shaft as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said grooves are formed on the outer surface of the golf shaft by the process of drilling, using, molding or any other conventional procedure
