Weighted and extended golf putter shaft

Abstract

A stabilizing, weighted golf putter shaft, with the weight embedded within an extended shaft, that conforms with the rules of the United States Golf Association. The weight is adjusted prior to assembly in response to any given putter head so as to move the balance point of the club to a specific and optimum height above the sole of the club when in use by the golfer.

1 . A weighted and extended golf putter shaft for moving the balance point of any putter to the optimum point, comprising:
 means for insertion of weight;   means for playability and U.S.G.A. rules conformity, adhesively wrapped to said means for insertion of weight;   means for weight calculation, adhesively affixed to said means for insertion of weight;   means for changing the balance point of the golf putter, insertably glued to said means for insertion of weight;   means for definition as to playing length of the golf putter, circumferentially delineated to said means for playability and U.S.G.A. rules conformity;   means for housing the weight means, internally housed to said means for playability and U.S.G.A. rules conformity;   means for allowing weight means to slide down into the shaft during construction, stopping and holding said weight means at the upper portion of the shaft, and forming a cosmetic end cap that is flush with the outside diameter of the shaft;   means for identifying the point at which an equal amount of the weight of the golf putter is above and below, fixedly set to said means for insertion of weight; and   means for the distance location of required balance point which dictates the weight means necessary for any given club head.   
     
     
         2 . The weighted and extended golf putter shaft in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for insertion of weight comprises a hollow, elongated large diameter shaft.

         5 . The weighted and extended golf putter shaft in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for changing the balance point of the golf putter comprises a cylindrical weight means. 
     
     
         6 . The weighted and extended golf putter shaft in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for definition as to playing length of the golf putter comprises a visible guide line. 
     
     
         7 . The weighted and extended golf putter shaft in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for housing the weight means comprises an extended shaft weight means housing. 
     
     
         8 . The weighted and extended golf putter shaft in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for allowing weight means to slide down into the shaft during construction, stopping and holding said weight means at the upper portion of the shaft, and forming a cosmetic end cap that is flush with the outside diameter of the shaft comprises an expanded diameter, cylindrical weight means cap. 
     
     
         9 . The weighted and extended golf putter shaft in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for identifying the point at which an equal amount of the weight of the golf putter is above and below comprises a measurable for every putter balance point. 
     
     
         10 . The weighted and extended golf putter shaft in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for the distance location of required balance point which dictates the weight means necessary for any given club head comprises a 46.5% to 48.5% of the playing length lower half weight length. 
     
     
         11 . A weighted and extended golf putter shaft for moving the balance point of any putter to the optimum point, comprising:
 a hollow, elongated large diameter shaft, for insertion of weight;   an extra-long, un-capped hand grippable means, for playability and usga rules conformity, adhesively wrapped to said large diameter shaft;   a U.S.G.A. approved club head, for weight calculation, adhesively affixed to said large diameter shaft;   a cylindrical weight means, for changing the balance point of the golf putter, insertably glued to said large diameter shaft;   a visible guide line, for definition as to playing length of the golf putter, circumferentially delineated to said hand grippable means;   an extended shaft weight means housing, for housing the weight means, internally housed to said hand grippable means;   an expanded diameter, cylindrical weight means cap, for allowing weight means to slide down into the shaft during construction, stopping and holding said weight means at the upper portion of the shaft, and forming a cosmetic end cap that is flush with the outside diameter of the shaft;   a measurable for every putter balance point, for identifying the point at which an equal amount of the weight of the golf putter is above and below, fixedly set to said large diameter shaft; and   a 46.5% to 48.5% of the playing length lower half weight length, for the distance location of required balance point which dictates the weight means necessary for any given club head.   
     
     
         12 . The weighted and extended golf putter shaft as recited in  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a top of centerline, for accurate identification of reference measurements.   
     
     
         13 . The weighted and extended golf putter shaft as recited in  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a bottom of centerline, for accurate identification of reference measurements.
