a first tubular adjustment piece having non-parallel upper and lower surfaces;

a socket sized to receive the ball joint; and

a fastener comprising a head and a threaded body, wherein the threaded body engages the threaded joint bore,

wherein moving the shaft sleeve changes the angle of the shaft sleeve with respect to the body,

wherein the first tubular adjustment piece fits around a section of the shaft sleeve and abuts the hosel,

wherein rotating the first tubular adjustment piece around the shaft sleeve changes the angle of the shaft sleeve axis with respect to the body when the shaft sleeve is engaged with the hosel,

wherein the first tubular adjustment piece provides a plurality of angular adjustments, and

wherein the shaft sleeve does not rotate around the bore axis more than 5 degrees.

2. The adjustable golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the ball joint and the socket are faceted.

3. The adjustable golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the hosel portion is integrally formed with the golf club head.

4. The adjustable golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the golf club head is a driver head.

5. The adjustable golf club head of claim 1 , further comprising a shaft having graphics and a grip reminder, wherein the shaft is at least partially disposed within the shaft sleeve, and wherein the graphics and the grip reminder do not rotate more than 5 degrees around the bore axis when a user makes angular adjustments.

6. The adjustable golf club head of claim 1 , wherein an angle of the shaft sleeve with respect to the body is adjusted using an angle adjustment tool.

7. The adjustable golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the first tubular adjustment piece comprises a plurality of angle indicators on its exterior surface.

8. The adjustable golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the ball joint extends from a tip end of the shaft sleeve and the socket is disposed on the hosel.

9. An adjustable golf club head comprising:

a body comprising a face, a sole, and a crown;

a shaft sleeve comprising a shaft sleeve axis, a shaft-receiving bore having a bore axis that is coaxial with the shaft sleeve axis, and a ball joint having a threaded joint bore, the ball joint extending from a tip end of the shaft sleeve;

a hose integrally formed with the golf club body, the hosel comprising a hosel bore extending from an opening in the sole to the crown and a socket sized to receive the ball joint;

a fastener comprising a head and a threaded body sized to engage the threaded joint bore;

a flange disposed within the hosel bore, wherein the fastener head rests against the flange when the threaded body is engaged with the threaded joint bore, and

a first tubular adjustment piece comprising non-parallel upper and lower surfaces and an exterior surface having a plurality of angle markings, wherein the first tubular adjustment piece fits around a section of the shaft sleeve, wherein the lower surface abuts the hosel, wherein rotating the first tubular adjustment piece around the shaft sleeve changes the angle of the shaft sleeve with respect to the body when the shaft sleeve is engaged with the hosel, and wherein the first tubular adjustment piece provides a plurality of angular adjustments.

10. The adjustable golf club head of claim 9 , wherein the flange comprises a convex lower surface, wherein the fastener head comprises a concave surface that mates with the convex lower surface, and wherein the fastener head abuts the convex lower surface of the flange when the threaded body is fully engaged with the shaft sleeve.
