Abstract

A putter head includes a semi-circular shaped main body and a plurality of inserted into cavities formed in the upper surface of the main body. The distribution of weight provided by positioning of the weighted inserts in the cavities optimizes the moment of inertia of the putter head to minimize twisting about the vertical axis defined by the putter shaft. A golf putter including the putter head and a shaft is also disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A golf putter head comprising:
 a main body comprising a face portion having a toe portion and a heel portion, a top portion, and a sole portion, wherein said top portion comprises a partition defining a plurality of cavities in the top portion; and   at least one weight removably fastened within each of said cavities.   
     
     
         2 . The golf putter head of  claim 1 , wherein said sole portion is convexly shaped between said toe portion and said heel portion. 
     
     
         3 . The golf putter head of  claim 1 , wherein said sole portion comprises a plurality of apertures adapted for receiving a fastener. 
     
     
         4 . The golf putter head of  claim 1 , wherein each of said weights comprises an aperture adapted for receiving a fastener. 
     
     
         5 . The golf putter head of  claim 4 , wherein said apertures comprise threaded apertures. 
     
     
         6 . The golf putter head of  claim 5 , wherein said each of said weights are fastened to said main body with a threaded fastener. 
     
     
         7 . The golf putter head of  claim 6 , wherein said partition defines three cavities in said top portion of said main body. 
     
     
         8 . The golf putter head of  claim 7 , wherein said partition comprises a substantially Y-shaped partition extending upwardly from said top portion of said main body and extending rearwardly from said face portion of said main body. 
     
     
         9 . The golf putter head of  claim 8 , wherein said Y-shaped partition comprises a height that is greater than the height of the weights. 
     
     
         10 . The golf putter head of  claim 1 , wherein said main body is manufactured from aluminum. 
     
     
         11 . The golf putter head of  claim 10 , wherein said weights are manufactured from brass. 
     
     
         12 . The golf putter head of  claim 11 , wherein said putter head weight at least 10 ounces.

         16 . The golf putter of  claim 15 , wherein said sole portion is convexly shaped between said toe portion and said heel portion. 
     
     
         17 . The golf putter of  claim 15 , wherein said sole portion comprises a plurality of apertures adapted for receiving a fastener. 
     
     
         18 . The golf putter of  claim 15 , wherein each of said weights comprises an aperture adapted for receiving a fastener. 
     
     
         19 . The golf putter of  claim 18 , wherein said apertures comprise threaded apertures. 
     
     
         20 . The golf putter of  claim 19 , wherein said each of said weights are fastened to said main body with a threaded fastener. 
     
     
         21 . The golf putter of  claim 20 , wherein said partition defines three cavities in said top portion of said main body. 
     
     
         22 . The golf putter of  claim 21 , wherein said partition comprises a substantially Y-shaped partition extending upwardly from said top portion of said main body and extending rearwardly from said face portion of said main body. 
     
     
         23 . The golf putter of  claim 22 , wherein said Y-shaped partition comprises a height that is greater than the height of the weights.
