I claim:

1. A golf club having an elongate shaft, a grip and a clubhead including a heel, toe and sole with a hosel connecting said clubhead to said shaft, wherein:

a) said clubhead has a striking surface, said striking surface having a grooved area thereon, said grooved area being at least 45 millimeters in height and at least 45 millimeters in width, said striking surface further having a center of gravity at least 25 millimeters above said clubhead sole and equidistant from said heel and said toe;

b) said clubhead has its weight distributed evenly around a specified portion of the clubhead, said specified portion starting at the hosel and proceeding down and around said hosel, along the sole to the top of the toe; and

c) said clubhead has a lie angle between 60 and 65 degrees.

2. A method for striking a golf ball by a golfer with a dominant arm and a dominant hand, the dominant hand having a lifeline thereon, comprising the steps of:

a) placing a golf club along the lifeline of the dominant hand so as to create a single-axis, three-lever system between the dominant arm and the club, said golf club having an elongate shaft, a grip and a clubhead including a heel, toe and sole with a hosel connecting said clubhead to said shaft, wherein:

said clubhead has a striking surface, said striking surface having a grooved area thereon, said grooved area being 45 millimeters in height and 45 millimeters in width, said striking surface further having a center of gravity at least 25 millimeters above said clubhead sole and equidistant from said heel and said toe;

said clubhead has a lie angle between 60 and 65 degrees, and

b) said golfer performing, subsequent to the step a), a golf swing maintaining said single-axis, three-lever system.

3. A golf club as claimed in claim 1, wherein said grip has a diameter of at least 0.9 inch.

4. A method for striking a golf ball as claimed in claim 2 wherein said grip has a diameter of at least 0.9 inch.
------------------------------------------------------------

The new P3s that a variable center of gravity which clearly negates this patent, additionally the groove height and width is not to those specs either! The clubs that fit this patent are no longer in manufacture.
