Adjustable golf putter

Abstract

An example putter presented herein is designed manufactured in a way that allows for a golfer to adjust weight balance of the golf club head by moving respective weights through a toe-side track and a heel-side track on a bottom side of the golf club head. The putter may also be configured with adjustable toe-hang, face material, and loft all in one club, in order to optimize the club for the day's game without having to purchase a new golf club each time one desires to try something new. The putter head can combine a removable, stackable face plate with a continuous range of shaft attachment points to allow a golfer to adjust each factor all in one club.

         56 . A golf club head comprising:
 a toe-side track comprising a weight configured to move through the toe-side track approximately orthogonal to a face of the golf club head; and   a heel-side track comprising a weight configured to move through the toe-side track approximately orthogonal to the face of the golf club head.   
     
     
         57 . The golf club head of  claim 56 , wherein the weight in the toe-side track and the weight in the heel-side track are each accessible from a bottom side of the golf club head. 
     
     
         58 . The golf club head of  claim 56 , wherein the weight in the toe-side track and the weight in the heel-side track are each configured to adjust a center of gravity and a moment of inertia of the golf club head. 
     
     
         59 . The golf club head of  claim 56 ,
 wherein the toe-side track extends a majority of a length between the face and a back side of the golf club head, and   wherein the heel-side track extends a majority of the length between the face and the back side of the golf club head.   
     
     
         60 . The golf club head of  claim 56  being configured as a mallet putter head. 
     
     
         61 . The golf club head of  claim 56 , wherein the weight of the toe-side track comprises a set screw and the weight of the heel-side track comprises a set screw. 
     
     
         62 . The golf club head of  claim 56 ,
 wherein the weight of the toe-side track is configured to be positioned continuously along the toe-side track, and   wherein the weight of the heel-side track is configured to be positioned continuously along the heel-side track.   
     
     
         63 . The golf club head of  claim 56 ,
 wherein the toe-side track is symmetrical to the heel-side track about a centerline of the golf club head, the centerline being orthogonal to the face.   
     
     
         64 . The golf club head of  claim 56 , comprising:
 a gap between the toe-side track and the heel-side track approximate a back side of the golf club head.   
     
     
         65 . The golf club head of  claim 56 , comprising:
 a channel parallel to the face and on a top side of the golf club head; and   a hosel configured to slide through a continuous spectrum of positions within the channel and configured to receive a shaft of a golf putter such that the shaft can be affixed to the golf club head to provide a continuous spectrum of toe-hang values for the golf putter.   
     
     
         66 . The golf club head of  claim 56 , comprising:
 one or more detachable face plates which are attachable to the golf club head to provide a first loft angle.   
     
     
         67 . The golf club head of  claim 56 , wherein the face comprises a plurality of grooves each extending parallel to a bottom surface of the face such that spacing between grooves of the plurality of grooves increases vertically in a direction away from the bottom surface of the face and toward a top surface of the face. 
     
     
         68 . The golf club head of  claim 56 , comprising:
 two or more metals distributed spatially with a gradient such that a center of mass of the golf club head is predetermined based at least in part on the gradient.   
     
     
         69 . The golf club head of  claim 56 , comprising:
 a core comprising a honeycomb pattern.   
     
     
         70 . The golf club head of  claim 56 , wherein the weight in the toe-side track and the weight in the heel-side track are each removable from the golf club head.
