A golf club head, and more specifically a hosel for a golf club head, and a method of angularly orienting a golf club shaft relative to a golf club head. The hosel defines a hollow interior for receiving a golf club shaft through an opening, generally along a central longitudinal axis of the hollow interior. The hollow interior is bounded by a wall adjacent the opening, preferably including a substantially planar or flat portion.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. A golf club for use in striking a golf ball, the club comprising:a golf club head including a face for striking a golf ball, a hosel having a hollow interior, and an arced sole plate along which the head may roll smoothly on a flat surface, rolling from a point adjacent the face in a direction approximately perpendicular to the face;an insert operatively connected to the hollow interior of the hosel; andan elongate shaft having a mounting end operatively connected to the insert;wherein the hollow interior of the hosel is substantially larger than the mounting end of the shaft so that the face of the head can be selectively oriented relative to the shaft by changing the orientation of the shaft relative to the hosel.
