Spherical Impact Putter-Face System

Abstract

Generally, a putter head for a golf club having at least one spherical face. Specifically, a putter head having a pair of spherical impact faces disposed in outwardly curved relation a distance apart by a top plate and a sole plate disposed in opposed relation to define the outer boundary of each of the spherical impact faces with the top plate further including a sight to aim the putter head.

1 . A putter, comprising:
 a putter head; and   a first spherical face extending outwardly from said putter head, said first spherical face providing an impact surface for striking a golf ball.   
     
     
         2 . The putter of  claim 1 , further comprising a second spherical face extending outwardly from said putter head in opposed relation a distance apart from said first spherical face, said second spherical face providing an impact surface for striking said golf ball. 
     
     
         3 . The putter of  claim 2 , wherein said first and said second spherical face have a structure substantially the same to allow ambidextrous use of said putter head to strike said golf ball. 
     
     
         4 - 5 . (canceled) 
     
     
         6 . The putter of  claim 3 , wherein said putter head further comprises a top plate and a sole plate substantially flat across a width which establishes said first and second spherical faces said distance apart, said top plate and said sole plate join at a heal and at a toe of said putter head, said top plate and said sole plate defining an outer boundary of said first and second spherical faces of said putter head. 
     
     
         7 . The putter of  claim 6 , wherein said top plate and said sole plate have opposed outwardly facing curvature from said toe to said heel of said putter head. 
     
     
         8 - 11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . The putter of  claim 6 , further comprising a spiral pattern disposed on at least one of said first and second spherical faces. 
     
     
         13 . The putter of  claim 12 , wherein said spiral pattern commences at an impact location on said first and second spherical faces and spirals outwardly toward said outer boundary of said first and second spherical faces. 
     
     
         14 . The putter of  claim 13 , wherein said spiral pattern comprises a spiral groove cut into said first and second spherical faces. 
     
     
         15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . The putter of  claim 15 , wherein said impact location can be disposed at about a center of each of said first and second spherical faces. 
     
     
         17 . The putter of  claim 6 , further comprising a heel weight and a toe weight correspondingly removably coupled proximate said heel and proximate said toe of said putter head. 
     
     
         18 . The putter of  claim 17 , further comprising a mass of the heel weight and a mass of said toe weight adjustable to alter balance of said putter head. 
     
     
         19 . The putter of  claim 18 , wherein said heel weight and said toe weight have a substantially cylindrical external surface. 
     
     
         20 . The putter of  claim 19 , further comprising a cylindrical heel concavity and a cylindrical toe concavity each configured to correspondingly receive within said heel weight and said toe weight. 
     
     
         21 . (canceled) 
     
     
         22 . The putter of  claim 6 , further comprising a sight coupled to said top plate of said putter head. 
     
     
         23 . (canceled) 
     
     
         24 . The putter of  claim 22 , wherein said sight has a circular boundary. 
     
     
         25 . The putter of  claim 24 , further comprising a recess element in said top plate of said putter head. 
     
     
         26 . The putter of  claim 25 , wherein said recess element has a generally hemispherical configuration. 
     
     
         27 . The putter of  claim 26 , wherein said sight and said recess element comprise a unitary structure in which said recess element has a hemispherical configuration defining said circular boundary at which said recess element joins said top plate to provide said sight. 
     
     
         28 . The putter of  claim 27 , wherein said recess element has a depth which corresponds with said impact location on said first and second spherical faces. 
     
     
         29 . The putter of  claim 28 , further comprising a sight mark having a fixed location within said sight which aligned with a line of travel of said golf ball with said sole plate disposed proximate a support surface positions said impact location of said spherical impact face for striking said golf ball. 
     
     
         30 . The putter of  claim 28 , wherein said sight mark comprises a first elongate sight mark on said recess element, said first elongate sight mark aligned along a sight line defined by the intersection of a longitudinal axis of said putter handle and said impact location on said spherical face, said sight line alignable lengthwise with said intended line of travel of said golf ball. 
     
     
         31 . The putter of  claim 30 , wherein said sight mark further comprises a second elongate sight mark on said recess element lengthwise aligned orthogonal to first elongate sight mark and orthogonally alignable with said intended line of travel of said golf ball. 
     
     
         32 - 33 . (canceled)
