Aim-enhancing, swing-stabilizing, resonant golf putter head

Abstract

An aim-enhancing, swing-stabilizing, resonant golf putter head with central striking element, torque-resisting stabilizer, focusing element, and resonance-enhancing structure. A preferred embodiment includes the torque-resisting side stabilizer comprised as a single element, curved behind the central striking element and connecting to both the left and right side thereof, differentially massed with the majority of the mass being divided equally between the right and left sides beyond the center of balance of the central striking element. A preferred embodiment includes the torque-resisting side stabilizer which does not stay within the horizontal plane of the central striking element.

I claim:  
     
         1 . An aim-enhancing, swing-stabilizing golf putter head comprising: 
 a central striking element; and,    stabilizing means connected to the central striking element.    
     
     
         2 . A golf putter head as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said stabilizing means comprise: 
 a left stabilizing element; and,  
 a right stabilizing element.  
 
     
     
         3 . A golf putter head as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said stabilizing means comprise: 
 a left stabilizing element;  
 a right stabilizing element; and,  
 a rear stabilizing element.  
 
     
     
         4 . A golf putter head as in  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a single connecting element connecting the central striking element and the stabilizing means.    
     
     
         5 . A golf putter head as in  claim 4 , wherein said single connecting element further comprises: 
 triangulation-supportive means; and,    mass-distribution means.    
     
     
         6 . A golf putter head as in  claim 5 , wherein said triangulation-supportive means and mass-distribution means comprise: 
 at least one void in a rearward portion of said single connecting element.    
     
     
         7 . A golf putter head as in  claim 5 , wherein said triangulation-suipportive means and mass-distribution means comprise: 
 at least one ridge in a top surface of said single connecting element extending longitudinally in relation to the Y axis..    
     
     
         8 . A golf putter head as in  claim 4 , wherein said single connecting element is a base plate in the ground plane.  
     
     
         9 . A golf putter head as in  claim 8 , wherein said base plate in the ground plane has a leading edge which curves upward, to minimize striking friction with the ground.  
     
     
         10 . An aim-enhancing, swing-stabilizing golf putter head comprising: 
 a central striking element;    aim-enhancing means; and,    stabilizing means connected to the central striking element.    
     
     
         11 . A golf putter head as in  claim 10 , wherein: 
 said stabilizing means comprise at least a left and a right stabilizing element which are attached to said central striking element; and,    said aim-enhancing means comprise a rearward triangular extension of said central striking element and an aiming pattern in a separate connecting element joining the rear of said left and right stabilizing elements, which triangular extension and aiming pattern are aligned with the center of the Y axis.    
     
     
         12 . A golf putter head as in  claim 11 , wherein said left and right stabilizing element each further have: 
 at least one and three-quarters but no more than two and a half times the mass of the central striking element.    
     
     
         13 . An aim-enhancing, swing-stabilizing, golf putter head as claimed in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said stabilizing means comprises a single element that is curved rearward and behind said central striking element, connects to both the left and right side thereof, and is differentially massed such that the majority of the mass of the single element is divided equally between the right and left sides and is placed more than a half-inch beyond the Y-axis center of balance of the central striking element.  
 
     
     
         14 . A golf putter head as claimed in  claim 13  wherein said single element is within the horizontal plane of the central striking element.  
     
     
         15 . A golf putter head as claimed in  claim 13  further comprising an aiming element.  
     
     
         16 . A golf putter head as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said stabilizing means further comprise: 
 extensions of said central striking element along the Y axis to the side and then along the X axis rearward, and along the X axis rearward at the Y axis center of balance, such that at least eight-elevenths but no more than twelve-thirteenths of the mass is distributed beyond a quarter-inch on either side of the center of the Y axis of said central striking element, and such that the majority of the mass is distributed behind the center of the X axis of the central striking element.    
     
     
         17 . A golf putter head as claimed in  claim 16 , further comprising: 
 a left resonance connecting element, connecting the left and rearward, and rearward, extensions of the central striking element; and,    a right resonance connecting element, connecting the right and rearward, and rearward, extensions of the central striking element.    
     
     
         18 . A golf putter head as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein: 
 the central striking element incorporates, on its top surface, aim-enhancing lines parallel to the Y axis; and,    the stabilizing means comprise: 
 at least one left stabilizing element;  
 at least one right stabilizing element; and,  
 at least one rearward stabilizing element;  
   wherein said stabilizing elements attach solely to the central striking element, and distribute the mass of the golf putter head such that at least eight-elevenths but no more than twelve-thirteenths of the mass is distributed beyond a quarter-inch on either side of the center of the Y axis of said central striking element, and such that the majority of the mass is distributed behind the center of the X axis of the central striking element.    
     
     
         19 . A golf putter head as in  claim 4 , wherein the single connecting element removably connects to the central striking element and the stabilizing means.
