Abstract

The combination set of tools comprising a slope reading tool and rotary clip head and angle plate is designed to build putting confidence and shave strokes off every golfer's game. The slope reading tool is a high accuracy “bubble level” device that provides actual slope angle around the golf cup to give golfer a quick and accurate reading of the green's contours. The set of rotary clip head and angle plate which is attached to the putter shaft can be rotated to the angle indicated on the slope reading tool to make the adjustment to achieve a more accurate putting. This combination set is intended to help golfers on putts with subtle or confusing breaks and works best on putts within 12 feet of the hole.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A combination set of golf tool for improving accurate putting, the combination set of golf tool comprising:
 a slope reading tool for determining a slope degree; and   a rotary clip head with angle plate for removably and rotatably attaching to a golf putter shaft, the rotary clip head with angle plate including:
 a rotary clip head for removably and rotatably attaching to the golf shaft; and 
 an angle plate having degree lines on its top removably or permanently attaching to the clip head, when the angle plate is permanently attached to the clip head, a black tape is adhered on the putter head or a straight line of any color drawn on the putter head is made as an alignment line; and 
 fastening means for securing the angle plate to the rotary clip head; 
   wherein the angle plate is rotated with the rotation of the clip head around the golf putter shaft.   
     
     
         2 . The combination set of golf tool of  claim 1 , wherein the angle plate has a fabric fastener at its bottom; and the clip head has a plastic clip for attaching to a golf putter shaft; a foam lining within the plastic clip; a plastic plate connected with the plastic clip; and a fabric fastener stuck to the top of the plastic plate for receiving the fabric fastener at the bottom of the angle plate. 
     
     
         3 . The combination set of golf tool of  claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive black striping tape for marking an alignment line on the putter head to be in perpendicular to a target line on the putter head. 
     
     
         4 . The combination set of golf tool of  claim 1 , wherein the slope reading tool is a bubble level which has degree lines with a distance of 4 mm between two adjacent degree lines. 
     
     
         5 . The combination set of golf tool of  claim 4 , wherein the combination set comprises a bigger angle plate for use with a heel shafted putter and a smaller angle plate for use with a near heel shafted putter. 
     
     
         6 . The combination set of golf tool of  claim 4 , wherein the angle plate is made from plexiglass and has a thickness of approximately 1/16 inches and a curvature of a circle of 90 mm diameter and a radial length of 4 mm between two adjacent degree lines. 
     
     
         7 . A method for using a set of golf tool for improving accurate putting, the method comprising steps of:
 placing a slope reading tool in front of a golf hole to measure a slope degree around the golf hole;   getting a rotary clip head with angle plate which comprises a rotary clip head and an angle plate, the angle plate having a plurality of degree lines including a zero degree line at the center, the angle plate being detachably attached to or permanently fixed to the clip head;   clipping the rotary clip head to the shaft in the position where the zero degree line of the angle plate lines up with an alignment line and is perpendicular to a target line of the putter head;   rotating the rotary clip head such that the alignment line of the putter head is lined up with the angle plate's degree line that corresponds to the slope degree determined by the slope reading device;   aiming the central line of the golf ball at the center of the golf hole;   placing the putter on the putting green in a position where the zero degree line is perpendicular to the central line of the golf ball;   when holding the putter in this position, rotating the golf ball so that it's central line is lining up the target line on the putter head forming a straight line; and   making a putt in this direction;   wherein the alignment line is the putter head edge that is contact with a golf ball or a marked or tape made line on the putter head and which is perpendicular to the target line on the putter head.   
     
     
         8 . The method for using the combination set of golf tool of  claim 7 , further comprising a step of:
 attaching the angle plate to the clip head such that zero degree line of the angle plate lines up with an alignment line and is perpendicular to a target line of the putter head as a set up position before rotating the clip head according to the bubble level reading.   
     
     
         9 . The method for using the combination set of golf tool of  claim 8 , further comprising steps of:
 following the step of rotating the clip head such that the alignment line of the putter head is lined up with the angle plate's degree line that corresponds to the slope degree determined by the slope reading device;   holding the putter on the putting green in a position to make the zero degree line perpendicular to a central line of a golf ball; and   when holding the putter in this position, rotating the golf ball so that the central line of the ball lines up with the target line of the putter head forming a straight line before the step of making a putt.   
     
     
         10 . A method for using a set of golf tool for improving accurate putting, the method comprising steps of:
 placing a slope reading tool in front of a golf hole to measure a slope degree around the golf hole;   getting a rotary clip head with angle plate which comprises a rotary clip head and an angle plate, the angle plate having a plurality of degree lines including a zero degree line at the center, the angle plate being detachably attached to or permanently fixed to the clip head;   clipping the rotary clip head with angle plate side way onto a putter shaft;   rotating the rotary clip head to the position where the angle plate is in parallel with the putter face and the zero degree line on the angle plate is in parallel with the target line on the putter head;   aiming the central line of the golf ball at the center of the golf hole;   placing the putter on the green in the position where the zero degree line on the angle plate lines up with the central line of the golf ball forming a straight line;   when holding the putter in this position, rotating the golf ball so that its central line is lining up the angle plate's degree line that corresponds to the slope degree determined by the slope reading device;   without moving the golf ball, moving the putter to line up the target line on the putter head with the central line of the golf ball to set up the putting direction;   rotating the angle plate away from the golf ball; and   making a putt in this direction.   
     
     
         11 . A method for using a set of golf tool for improving accurate putting, the method comprising steps of:
 placing a slope reading tool in front of a golf hole to measure a slope degree around the golf hole;   getting an angle plate which has a plurality of degree lines including a zero degree line at the center;   aiming the central line of the golf ball at the center of the golf hole;   placing the angle plate on the green in front of the golf ball in a position where the zero degree line on the angle plate lines up with the central line of the golf ball forming a straight line;   lining up the central line of the golf ball with the angle plate's degree line that corresponds to the slope degree determined by the slope reading device;   removing the angle plate from the green; and   lining up the target line on the putter head with the central line of the golf ball and making a putt in this direction.
