Interchangable shaft and club head connection system

1. A golf club comprising:

a shaft connected to a shaft insert, the shaft insert comprising at least one tooth that spans lengthwise and radially across the diameter of the shaft insert at a terminal end of the shaft;

a hosel sleeve, having a ferrule, attached to the shaft at a predetermined distance from the at least one tooth;

a club head comprising at least one tooth groove and a thread, wherein the tooth groove is spaced from the threads in a direction away from a sole of the head, and the tooth groove is sized and dimensioned to engage the at least one tooth; and

wherein when the tooth is engaged to the tooth groove, the hosel sleeve pushes against the club head to removably attach the shaft to the club head, and

wherein both the tooth and the tooth groove are symmetrical lengthwise along the tooth and the tooth groove, creating only two interchangeable orientations between the club head and the shaft that are 180° from one another.

2. The golf club of claim 1 , wherein the tooth is disposed on a terminal end of the shaft insert that is attached to the shaft.

3. The golf club of claim 1 , wherein when the tooth is engaged to the tooth groove and the hosel is disposed against the ferrule, the shaft cannot rotate with respect to the club head.

4. A golf club comprising:

a club head comprising a first anti-rotation member in the shape of a groove spanning lengthwise and radially across the diameter of the first anti-rotation member;

a shaft comprising a second anti-rotation member in the shape of a tooth spanning lengthwise and radially across the diameter of the second anti-rotation member, wherein the second anti-rotation device further comprises a retaining edge, the retaining edge only partially protrudes out from a circumference of the shaft, and

wherein the first anti-rotation member and the second anti-rotation member cooperate to limit the relative rotation between the shaft and the club head; and

a sleeve rotatably connected to the club head, wherein the sleeve is threadedly connectable to the club head to releasably connect the shaft to the club head and to compress the first and second anti-rotation members together;

wherein the groove and the tooth are both symmetrical lengthwise along the groove and the tooth, creating only two interchangeable orientations between the club head and the shaft that are 180° from one another.

5. The golf club of claim 4 , wherein the sleeve further comprises a port to allow the sleeve to be rotated with a tool.

6. The golf club of claim 4 , wherein the first and second anti-rotation members comprise a groove and a matching tooth.

7. The golf club of claim 4 , wherein the sleeve is attached to the shaft, and the shaft comprises a retaining edge, which prevents the sleeve from being detached from the shaft.

8. The golf club of claim 4 , wherein the first anti-rotation member forms only one groove that spans lengthwise across the diameter of the first anti-rotation member and the second anti-rotation member forms only one tooth that spans lengthwise across the diameter of the second anti-rotation member.

9. The golf club of claim 4 , wherein the groove and the tooth are the only contact surface between the first anti-rotation member and the second anti-rotation member.

10. A golf club comprising:

a shaft having a proximal end and a terminal end;

a shaft insert adapted to be connected to the terminal end of the shaft, wherein the shaft insert further comprises a tooth; wherein the tooth further comprises a retaining edge, the retaining edge only partially protrudes out from a circumference of the shaft, and wherein the tooth spans lengthwise and radially across the entire diameter of the shaft insert from one external surface to an opposite external surface; and

a club head comprising a groove on the terminal end of a hosel portion of the club head and a threaded portion, wherein the tooth groove is spaced from the threads in a direction away from a sole of the head, and wherein the groove spans lengthwise and radially across the entire diameter of the hosel portion from one external surface to an opposite external surface,

wherein the tooth and the groove are adapted to compliment one another geometrically to limit the rotation between the shaft and the club head, and

wherein the groove and the tooth are both symmetrical lengthwise along the groove and the tooth, creating only two interchangeable orientations between the club head and the shaft that are 180° from one another.

11. The golf club of claim 10 , further comprising a hosel sleeve, the hosel sleeve is rotatably connected to the club head, wherein the sleeve is threadedly connectable to the club head to releasably connect the shaft to the club head and to compress the tooth and the groove together.

12. The golf club of claim 11 , wherein the hosel sleeve further comprises at least one port to allow the hosel sleeve to be rotated with a tool.

13. The golf club of claim 10 , wherein the groove and the tooth are the only contact surfaces between the shaft insert and the club head to limit the rotation between the shaft and the club head.
