Golf club head
Abstract
Current golf club putters are not adequately designed for controlled putting according to the skill of the player. They are of primitive design and create aggravating and agonizing challenges to the serious player. The player must putt like a zombie, hoping that he will not make a false motion that will divert the putt. These putters are unstable and wobble with their torque, creating unnecessary and unreasonable problems to make a good putt. This invention tries to solve these problems by providing a new concept in a putter head construction. The invention presents a putter head which embodies weights added to its front face surface and which extend forward. Briefly, this concept creates a stable back swing and a stable down swing with a leading momentum in line and pulling the ball through at impact with a smooth roll. This gives the player better control of his putting and creates a gratifying feel. This invention also provides a club face with a rearward angle which provides more latitude in judging the required force at impact. Further, the invention claims applicable principles of the invention, and in particular, the addition of weights to the front face, to all types of golf club heads.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A unique and novel putter club head for golf putter clubs, comprising:
a shaft attached to the club head; a hosel. a putter club head having a top and bottom surface, a front surface along its length facing forward, being adapted to strike a golf ball, and a rear portion; weights added to the front surface of the club head and which weights extend forward from the face of the club head; weights added to the back surface of the club head; weights added to the front surface and the back surface of the club head; a single concentrated weight added to the center back portion of the club head; weight mounted on each, outer end of the club head and which weights extend forward and backward therefrom-and further, embodying weights on the back surface of the club head; a front surface face, set at a specific angle between 0° and 60° along its length, whereby the bottom edge of the club head is rearward of the top edge of the front surface of the club head, to form the specific angle from a perpendicular; a putter club head, embodying an angle on its front face, also embodies weights added to its front face and which weights extend forward from the face of the club head; a putter club head, embodying an angle on its front face, also embodies weights added to its front face and to it back surface; A club putter head, embodying an angle on its front face, embodies weights added only to its back face; a layer of material covering the front face surface of the club head; a layer of material covering the bottom surface of the club head; a layer of material covering the front surface and the bottom surface of the club head; layer of material recessed into the face of the club head.
2 . A putter club head as recited in claim 1 , embodying weights added to the front surface face and extending forward from the club face surface.
3 . A putter club head face, as recited in claim 2 , embodying a weight positioned along it length, on each side, ¾ or more inches from the center of the face of the club head.
4 . A putter club head as recited in claim 3 , embodying a weight, positioned, on each side, ¼ or more inches from the center on the rear portion of the club head.
5 . A putter club head recited in claim 1 , wherein a weight is attached on each outer end of the club head extending forward beyond the face of the club head and rearward beyond the rear surface.
6 . A putter club head as recited in claim 1 , embodying a front surface face,constructed at a specific angle between 0° and 60°, whereby the bottom edge of the club face is rearward of its top edge to form the specific angle.
7 . A putter club head as recited in claim 6 , embodying a weight, positioned along its length, on each side, ¾ or more inches from the center of the face of the club head.
8 . A putter club head as recited in claim 4 , embodying an inverted “U” frame, mounting the club head at its ends by means of screws, and further having a “hosel sleeve” extending upward from the top of the frame for mounting the club head to the club shaft.
9 . A putter club head as recited in claim 8 wherein the club head can be rotated backward along its horizontal axis and set at a specific angle between 0° and 60°.
10 . A putter club head as recited in claim 4 , embodying a club shaft attached to the body of the club head at a rearward angle, so that when the shaft is held vertically to impact the ball, the face of the club head becomes tilted and downward, creating an angle when striking the ball.
11 . A putter club head as recited in claim 1 , wherein the upper half of its face is textured with dots, 0.0001″+0.10″ to −0.00001″, in diameter and depth and spaced apart, and further, the lower half of the club face embodies, horizontal, uniform, parallel lines of grooves, 0.0001″+0.10″ to −0.00001″ in depth and apart.
12 . A putter club head as recited in claim 1 , embodying layered cover material on its face surface and on its bottom surface.
13 . A putter club head as recited in claim 12 , wherein the layered material is that commonly used as the outer cover of the golf balls, such as surlyn, balata, zynthyne, elastomers, resins, plastics and other suitable material.
14 . A putter club head as recited in claim 12 , wherein the upper half of the front layered surface embodies “dots”, 0.0001″+0.10″ to −0.00001″ in diameter, depth, and space apart, while the lower half of the front layered cover surface embodies horizontal, uniform, parallel grooves, 0.0001″+0.10″ to −0.00001″ in depth and space apart.
15 . A golf club comprising a golf club head and an intrinsically attached shaft.
16 . A golf club head as recited in claim 15 , embodying weights on its front surface face extending forward from the surface.
17 . A golf club head as recited in claim 16 , comprising a weight on its toe end,and on its heel end.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
