   The shaft is roughly .58 inch/14.7 millimeters in diameter near the grip and between 35 and 48 inches/89–115 cm in length.

The maximum legal length of a shaft by USGA and R&A rules is 48 in (121.9 cm), [2] though some woods used in long drive contests have been made with shaft lengths up to 50 in (127.0 cm) long.

The design of the club typically distributes the metal more evenly around the clubhead (though most designs still place more weight along the sole of the club), which makes the center of mass of the club higher and the moment of inertia (the clubhead's resistance to rotation) lower ...

   These early clubs had hickory shafts and wrapped leather grips. To secure the joins between the shaft and the head of the club, and between the grip and the shaft, whipping of black, waxed linen thread was used.
