Golf Club Visual Alignment System

Abstract

A golf club visual alignment system for effectively assisting a golfer with the alignment of a golf clubface with respect to an intended target. The golf club visual alignment system generally includes a top surface of a clubhead having a first section and a second section, wherein the intersection of the sections is ninety-degrees with respect to a clubface to assist a golfer in visually aligning the clubface. The first section has a different visual appearance from the second section to provide an alignment line for the golfer to visualize the alignment of the clubface with respect to a target.

The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A golf club, comprising:
 a shaft having an upper end and a lower end; and   a clubhead having a hosel attached to said lower end of said shaft, a toe, a heel opposite of said toe, a sole, a top surface opposite of said sole, a rear edge and a clubface opposite of said rear edge, wherein said clubface faces forwardly and wherein said clubface is adapted to engage a golf ball;   wherein said top surface of said clubhead includes a first section and a second section, wherein said first section has a different visual appearance than said second section that aides the golfer with alignment of the clubhead.   
     
     
         2 . The golf club of  claim 1 , wherein said first section and said second section are separated by an alignment line extending along said top surface. 
     
     
         3 . The golf club of  claim 2 , wherein said alignment line is ninety-degrees with respect to said clubface. 
     
     
         4 . The golf club of  claim 3 , wherein said alignment line is aligned with an sweet spot icon on said top surface of said clubhead. 
     
     
         5 . The golf club of  claim 2 , wherein said alignment line is comprised of a thick and straight line that extends rearwardly from adjacent to said clubface to said rear edge of said clubhead. 
     
     
         6 . The golf club of  claim 1 , wherein said first section is comprised of a different texture than said second section. 
     
     
         7 . The golf club of  claim 6 , wherein said first section is comprised of a pitted surface. 
     
     
         8 . The golf club of  claim 7 , wherein said second section is comprised of a smooth surface. 
     
     
         9 . The golf club of  claim 1 , wherein said first section is adjacent to said toe of said clubhead and wherein said second section is adjacent to said hosel of said clubhead. 
     
     
         10 . The golf club of  claim 1 , wherein said first section is adjacent to said hosel of said clubhead and wherein said second section is adjacent to said toe of said clubhead. 
     
     
         11 . The golf club of  claim 1 , wherein an intersection between said first section and said second section aides the golfer with alignment of the clubhead. 
     
     
         12 . The golf club of  claim 11 , wherein said intersection is ninety-degrees with respect to said clubface. 
     
     
         13 . The golf club of  claim 12 , wherein said intersection is aligned with an sweet spot icon on said top surface of said clubhead. 
     
     
         14 . The golf club of  claim 11 , wherein said intersection extends rearwardly from adjacent to said clubface to said rear edge of said clubhead. 
     
     
         15 . The golf club of  claim 1 , wherein said first section is comprised of a first color and said second section is comprised of a second color, wherein said first color is different from said second color. 
     
     
         16 . The golf club of  claim 15 , wherein said first color is comprised of a light color and wherein said second color is comprised of a dark color. 
     
     
         17 . The golf club of  claim 16 , wherein said first color is comprised of white and wherein said second color is comprised of black. 
     
     
         18 . The golf club of  claim 15 , wherein said first color is comprised of a dark color and wherein said second color is comprised of a light color. 
     
     
         19 . The golf club of  claim 1 , wherein said first section is comprised of a cover adhesively attached to said top surface of said clubhead, wherein said cover has a first color that is different from a second color of said second section of said top surface and wherein said cover includes an alignment edge extending rearwardly at90 degrees from said clubface. 
     
     
         20 . The golf club of  claim 19 , wherein said cover includes at least one slit extending inwardly from an outer edge of said cover.
