Customizable putter for golf

Abstract

A customizable putter provides a platform having removable and adjustable weights. A customizable putter for golf is achieved by providing a platform with an embodiment having a vertical face portion and rearwardly extending flange portion attached to the bottom of the face portion. Weights may then be removably attached by threaded screws or bolts. The weights may have cavities within them into which weighted inserts may be fitted to provide further adjustment to the weight distribution and overall weight of the putter head. Such inserts, as well as the weight cavities, may take a variety of geometrical shapes and sizes.

       10 . A customizable golf putter head as set forth in  claim 9 , further comprising: 
 said second weight being selected from the group consisting of block-type weights and mallet-head-type weights.    
   
   
       11 . A customizable golf putter head, comprising: 
 a putter platform, said putter platform having a face for putting a golf ball and a flange coupled to a bottom portion of said face;    a first weight attachable to said platform, said first weight defining a first cavity within said first weight, said first cavity adapted to receive a first insert;    a second weight attachable to said platform, said second weight defining a second cavity within said second weight, said second cavity adapted to receive a second insert;    a third weight attachable to said platform, said third weight defining a third cavity within said third weight, said third cavity adapted to receive a third insert; and    said flange generally extending rearwardly and providing a lower support for said first, second, and third weights; whereby    said first, second, and third weights are selectable in mass and shape to provide customization to the customizable golf putter head.    
   
   
       12 . A customizable golf putter head as set forth in  claim 11 , further comprising: 
 said first cavity of said first weight having a cross section selected from the group consisting of: circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles;    said second cavity of said second weight having a cross section selected from the group consisting of: circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles;    said third cavity of said third weight having a cross section selected from the group consisting of: circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles;    said first, second, and third weights attachable to said platform by screws;    said first weight being adjacent to a heel of said putter platform;    said second weight being adjacent a center of said putter platform, being selected from the group consisting of block-type weights and mallet-head-type weights; and    said third weight being adjacent a toe of said putter platform such that said first, second, and third weights are distributed across said putter platform for selectable control of weight distribution of the customizable golf putter head.    
   
   
       13 . A customizable golf putter head as set forth in  claim 12 , further comprising: 
 first, second, and third inserts removably fitted within said first, second, and third cavities, respectively.    
   
   
       14 . A method for providing a customizable golf putter head, comprising: 
 providing a putter platform; and    attaching a first weight to said platform, said first weight being selectable in mass and shape, said first weight being detachably attachable to said platform, said first weight defining a first cavity within said first weight, said first cavity adapted to receive a first insert; whereby    selection of said first weight is in mass and shape provides customization to the customizable golf putter head.    
   
   
       15 . A method for providing a customizable golf putter head as set forth in  claim 14 , further comprising:
