Abstract

A golf club apparatus ( 14 ) for optimizing the golfing performances by helping golfers to strike the center of a golf ball which promotes top spin and avoids back spin to impart pure rolling motion without skipping or sliding. The apparatus ( 14 ) includes a shaft ( 16 ); a club head ( 12 ); a hosel ( 11 ) which connect shaft ( 16 ) to club head ( 12 ); an elevated foot ( 10 ) connected to club head ( 12 ).

1 . An apparatus for optimizing golfing performances, said apparatus comprising: 
 a shaft;    a club head;    a hosel to connect said shaft to said club head;    an elevated foot connecting to said club head.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said shaft is perpendicular or non-perpendicular to said club head.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said elevated foot is an integral portion of the bottom of the said club head.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said elevated foot is a separate unit which is affixed to a club head by means such as adhesives, mechanical fasteners, hook-and-loop fasteners such as VELCRO, adhesive tap, or soldering.  
   
   
       5 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said elevated foot is a separate and ready-removable unit which clamps to said club head by means of a clip which allows said elevated foot to be easily slide on or off an existing said club head.  
   
   
       6 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said elevated foot has a top surface; a bottom surface, and two opposed side surfaces; 
 wherein said two planar sides extend between the said top surface and said bottom surface connecting the said two opposed side surfaces;    wherein the said two opposed side surfaces have a convex curve.    
   
   
       7 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein shape of said elevated foot is varied having a generally squared cross-section with rounded corners.  
   
   
       8 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein shape of said elevated foot is varied having a quasi-triangular profile.  
   
   
       9 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein shape of said elevated foot is varied having a bullet-shaped profile.  
   
   
       10 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein shape of said elevated foot is varied having a plurality of downwardly-extending resilient bristles of a selected length.  
   
   
       11 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein shape of said elevated foot is varied having a shape of a pretzel.  
   
   
       12 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said elevated foot is made of suitable materials selected from wood, plastic, rubber, iron, steel, and aluminum.  
   
   
       13 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said club head is varied, made of material having an array of bright colors which includes red, orange, light blue, and pink.  
   
   
       14 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said club head is varied to include decorative and artistic designs or themes of flowers, the sun, or the stars.  
   
   
       15 . An apparatus for optimizing golfing performances, said apparatus comprising: 
 a shaft;    a driver's head;    a hosel to connect said shaft to said club head;    a sole plate;    an elevated foot connecting to said club head.    
   
   
       16 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 15 , wherein said elevated foot has a top surface connected to the said sole plate, a bottom surface, and two opposed side surfaces; 
 wherein said two spaced-apart sides extend between the said top surface and said bottom surface connecting the two said opposed side surfaces;    wherein said elevated foot is positioned in a longitudinal direction in the center of the driver's head.
