1. A hosel comprising:
a neck portion configured to receive a golf shaft and comprising a transition portion diminishing in thickness in a downward direction; and
an insert portion extending downward from the transition portion and configured to be received inside a cavity of a putter-type golf club head, the insert portion comprising:
a first channel encircling the insert portion and disposed proximate the transition portion;
a second channel encircling the insert portion and disposed proximate a lower portion of the insert portion; and
a third channel encircling the insert portion and disposed between the first channel and the second channel,
wherein the first channel, the second channel, and the third channel are evenly spaced apart in a longitudinal direction along the insert portion,
wherein the transition portion is configured to establish an interference fit at an opening of the cavity, and
wherein the insert portion is configured to be free from any direct contact with the cavity such that the interference fit established between the transition portion and the opening of the cavity provides a lone source of direct contact between the hosel and the cavity.
