I got a set of clubs from my grandpa, his old set. and a bunch of the clubs have a bent shaft right above where it connects the head. I hit the 3wood well, but i havent tried any of the other clubs.

Was this a gimmick of the past or something that is proven to help?

Perhaps gramps was an angry golfer fond of punishing the local flora and fauna with a good thwacking now and again?

More likely it was an early version of offset. But pics would be helpful.

that is the best pic i can find of the clubs.

edit: found some more info on them "Golf clubs with New Bent Shaft Technology.
A new way to build golf clubs with a bend in the shaft near the clubface that reduces torque and encourages players to set up with their hands ahead of the ball. These golf clubs dramaticly reduce slicing and improve contact resulting in longer and straighter shots. Test results on file."

I know Salming (famous hockey player) had this type of bent shaft with a number of patents for it, just a lot more than the picture, for his brand of floorball clubs & tried to get it into golf, with no success. Don't recall, but must have been 1996-8ish?

There were quite a few arguments for it & it had moderate success in floorball but nearly none with golfers who were "too traditional". The company went bancrupt & haven't seen it since in any sport, til now that is.

      The course is playing tough. We’re only about 50 miles away. It very windy here and going to get worse. They’re all dressed like it’s the British Open!

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

      The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
