A golf club includes a shaft and a head attached to the shaft. The head has forward and rear ends and a ball-striking face positioned adjacent the forward end. The golf club is also provided with a movable member having a propellant charge therein. The movable member is positioned in the head and is movable between a first position, in which it is positioned adjacent the rear end of the head, and a second position, in which is it positioned adjacent the front end of the head. A detonating mechanism is provided for detonating the charge when the movable member moves from its first position to its second position during the movement of the head. The charge causes the head to accelerate in a generally forward direction when the charge is detonated by the detonating mechanism.
