Abstract

A golf club head indicator is applied to a golf club head and the golf club head is attached to a golf club shaft. The golf club head has a substantially planar face for hitting a golf ball. The golf club head indicator includes an indicator providing a visual indication of alignment relative to a center point of the face of the golf club head and an indicator providing a visual indication of alignment relative to the angle of the face of the golf club head. The center point is approximately central to the face of the golf club head. The indicator providing the visual indication of the angle of the face of the golf club head is linear and is substantially parallel to a plane of the face of the golf club head.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A golf club head indicator applied to a top surface of a golf club head, the golf club head having a face for hitting a golf ball, the face being substantially planar, the golf club head indicator comprising:
 a center indicator providing a visual indication of alignment relative to a center point of the face of the golf club head; and   an angle indicator providing a visual indication of alignment relative to an angle of the face of the golf club head;   whereas the center point is approximately central to the face of the golf club head and the angle indicator is linear and is substantially parallel to a plane of the face of the golf club head.   
     
     
         2 . The golf club head indicator of  claim 1 , wherein the center indicator is symmetrical with respect to the center point. 
     
     
         3 . The golf club head indicator of  claim 1 , wherein the golf club head indicator is a sticker that is affixed to the top surface of the golf club head. 
     
     
         4 . The golf club head indicator of  claim 3 , wherein the sticker is provided on a backing. 
     
     
         5 . The golf club head indicator of  claim 1 , further comprising an ornamental design, the ornamental design drawing attention from a user of a golf club, the golf club attached to the golf club head having the golf club head indicator. 
     
     
         6 . The golf club head indicator of  claim 5 , wherein the center indicator is integrated into the ornamental design. 
     
     
         7 . The golf club head indicator of  claim 5 , wherein the angle indicator is integrated into the ornamental design. 
     
     
         8 . A method of aligning a golf club head with respect to a first golf ball and a second golf ball, the method comprising:
 providing a golf club head indicator, the golf club head indicator applied to a top surface of a golf club head, the golf club head attached to a golf club shaft, the golf club head having a face for hitting a golf ball, the face being substantially planar, the golf club head indicator comprising a center indicator providing a visual indication of alignment relative to a center point of the face of the golf club head; and an angle indicator providing a visual indication of alignment relative to the angle of the face of the golf club head; whereas the center point is approximately central to the face of the golf club head and the angle indicator is linear and is substantially parallel to a plane of the face of the golf club head;   using the center indicator to position the golf club head at a position next to a golf ball;   using the angle indicator to position the golf club head at an angle with respect to the golf ball;   swinging the golf club, thereby hitting the golf ball in a given direction;   using the center indicator to position the golf club head at the position next to the second golf ball;   using the angle indicator to position the golf club head at the angle with respect to the second golf ball; and   swinging the golf club, thereby hitting the second golf ball in a direction substantially similar to the given direction of the first golf ball.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the center indicator is symmetrical with respect to the center point. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the golf club head indicator is a sticker that is affixed to the top surface of the golf club head. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the sticker is provided on a backing. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising an ornamental design, the ornamental design drawing attention from a user of a golf club, the golf club attached to the golf club head having the golf club head indicator. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the center indicator is integrated into the ornamental design. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the angle indicator is integrated into the ornamental design. 
     
     
         15 . A golf club head indicator sticker applied to a top surface of a golf club head, the golf club head having a face for hitting a golf ball, the face being substantially planar, the golf club head indicator sticker comprising:
 a top surface and a back surface, the back surface having an adhesive, the adhesive holding the golf club head sticker to the top surface of the golf club head;   a center indicator providing a visual indication of alignment relative to a center point of the face of the golf club head, the center indicator providing the visual indication of the center point of the face of the golf club head on the top surface;   an angle indicator providing a visual indication of alignment relative to an angle of the face of the golf club head, the angle indicator providing a visual indication of the angle of the face of the golf club head on the top surface; and   an ornamental design, the ornamental design drawing attention from a user of a golf club, the golf club attached to the golf club head having the golf club head indicator, the ornamental design on the top surface;   whereas the center point is approximately central to the face of the golf club head and the angle indicator is linear and is substantially parallel to a plane of the face of the golf club head.   
     
     
         16 . The golf club head indicator sticker of  claim 15 , wherein the center indicator is symmetrical with respect to the center point. 
     
     
         17 . The golf club head indicator sticker of  claim 15 , wherein the golf club head indicator sticker is provided on a backing. 
     
     
         18 . The golf club head indicator sticker of  claim 15 , wherein the center indicator is integrated into the ornamental design.
