The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20080153621, Nanocrystalline plated putter hosel.

1. A hosel for a putter, the hosel comprising: a base layer composed of a first material; and an external layer disposed on the base layer, the external layer composed of a nano-metal material.

2. The hosel according to claim 1 wherein the base layer is composed of a material selected from the group consisting of nylon 6, nylon 66, thermoplastic polyurethane, polycarbonate, plies of pre-preg, and glass-fiber reinforced polymers.

3. The hosel according to claim 1 wherein the hosel has a density ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 grams per cubic centimeter.

4. The hosel according to claim 1 wherein the nano-metal is an iron-nickel nano-metal.

5. The hosel according to claim 1 wherein the nano-metal is a nickel nanoparticle nano-metal.

6. The hosel according to claim 1 wherein the nano-metal is a titanium nano-metal.

7. The hosel according to claim 1 wherein the nano-metal is a nanocrystalline nickel nano-metal.

8. The hosel according to claim wherein the hosel has a density less than 3 g/cc.

9. The hosel according to claim 1 wherein the nano-metal is a nanocrystalline steel.

10. A golf club comprising: a golf club head; a shaft; and a hosel comprising a base layer composed of a first material, and an external layer disposed on the base layer, the external layer composed of a nano-metal material.

11. The golf club according to claim 10 wherein the base layer is composed of a material selected from the group consisting of nylon 6, nylon 66, thermoplastic polyurethane, polycarbonate, plies of pre-preg, and glass-fiber reinforced polymers.

12. The golf club according to claim 10 wherein the hosel has a density ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 grams per cubic centimeter.
