Gable shaped dual faced golf putter head

Abstract

A putter head having first and second triangular striking faces disposed on opposite sides of the putter head. The striking faces are substantially identical to one another. A hole extends through the putter head from an area proximate each apex of the first striking face to the corresponding apex of the second striking face such that the center of mass of the putter head is concentrated proximate an axis through the first and second striking faces.

       2 . The putter head according to  claim 1 , wherein said axis lies along a geometric center of said first and second striking faces.  
   
   
       3 . The putter head according to  claim 1 , wherein said center of mass is located above a base of said body a distance slightly less than a radius of a golf ball such that when said putter head is raised off a golf ball supporting surface, said center of mass is at a same height as a center of said golf ball.  
   
   
       4 . The putter head according to  claim 1 , wherein said body is symmetrical about a plane extending through said center of mass of said body parallel to said first and second striking faces.  
   
   
       5 . The putter head according to  claim 1 , wherein said body has a flat bottom.  
   
   
       6 . The putter head according to  claim 1 , wherein said body has a sighting line operative to assist a user to align a golf ball to a target.  
   
   
       7 . The putter head according to  claim 6 , wherein a first line and a second line are located on either side of and at equal distances from said sighting line and are operative to assist a user in centering a golf ball such that said center of mass of said body strikes a center of said golf ball when in use.  
   
   
       8 . The putter head according to  claim 1 , wherein a shaft is located half-way between said first and second striking faces.  
   
   
       9 . The putter head according to  claim 1 , wherein said body is composed of aluminum.  
   
   
       10 . The putter head according to  claim 1 , further comprising a central hole from said first striking face to said second striking face through said center of mass.  
   
   
       11 . The putter head according to  claim 10 , wherein said central hole is filled with one of: copper, brass and tungsten.  
   
   
       12 . The putter head according to  claim 1 , wherein openings of said holes are covered at the surface of said first striking face and said second striking face.  
   
   
       13 . The putter head according to  claim 1 , wherein a “sweet spot” is located on each of said first and second striking faces on said axis perpendicular to said first and second striking faces.  
   
   
       14 . A putter head comprising: 
 (a) a body with first and second triangular striking faces disposed parallel to each other on opposite sides of said body and perpendicular to a side surface of said body;    (b) a plurality of holes, each hole extending through said body through an area proximate an apex of said first triangular striking face to an area proximate a corresponding apex of said second triangular striking face such that a center of mass of said body is concentrated about an axis through said first and second triangular striking faces, said axis perpendicular to said first and second striking faces.    
   
   
       15 . The putter head according to  claim 14 , wherein said axis is along a geometric center of said first and second triangular striking faces.  
   
   
       16 . The putter head according to  claim 14 , wherein said center of mass is located above a base of said body a distance slightly less than a radius of a golf ball such that when said putter head is raised off a golf ball supporting surface, said center of mass is at a same height as a center of said golf ball.  
   
   
       17 . The putter head according to  claim 14 , wherein said body is symmetrical about a plane extending through said center of mass of said body parallel to said first and second triangular striking faces.  
   
   
       18 . The putter head according to  claim 14 , wherein said body has a constant cross section.  
   
   
       19 . The putter head according to  claim 14 , wherein said first and second triangular striking faces have a shape of an isosceles triangle.  
   
   
       20 . The putter head according to  claim 14 , wherein said body has a flat bottom.  
   
   
       21 . The putter head according to  claim 14 , wherein each apex of said first and second triangular striking faces is rounded.  
   
   
       22 . The putter head according to  claim 14 , wherein a top apex of said body has a sighting line operative to assist a user to align a golf ball to a target.  
   
   
       23 . The putter head according to  claim 14 , wherein a first line and a second line are located on either side of and at equal distances from a top apex of said body, said first and second lines operative to assist a user in centering a golf ball such that said center of mass of said body strikes a center of said golf ball when in use.  
   
   
       24 . The putter head according to  claim 14 , wherein a shaft is located half-way between said first and second triangular striking faces.
