A golf putter includes a putter head having a face member, a heel end, a toe end and a rear member extending in an arcuate path from one end of the face member to the other end of the face member. First and second struts extend and are connected to the rear member and the face member while converging toward each other as they approach the face member. A third strut extends between and is connected to the rear member and the face member and lies between the first and second struts. The putter head has a width W of at least 15 centimeters and a depth D that is at least equal to 1/2 width W. In its preferred embodiment, the putter head has a width W of approximately 17 centimeters and a depth D of approximately 10 centimeters.
A head 2 has three regions, i.e., an anterior region Z positioned on the facemost side, a posterior region K positioned on the backmost side, and a joint region R positioned between the anterior region Z and the posterior region K, which are provided to divide the putter head equally in the face-to-back direction. The anterior region Z has an anterior thick part Z1 having a thickness of equal to or greater than 20 mm. The joint region R has a thin part 16 having a thickness of equal to or less than 7 mm. The posterior region K has a posterior thick part K1 having a thickness of greater than 7 mm. The joint region R has a full-width part 23 formed by making the full width of this joint region to correspond to the thin part 16. Provided that the length of the head 2 in the face-to-back direction is A1, the length of the full-width part 23 in the face-to-back direction is equal to or greater than (A1/6).
A golf putter head includes a face member with a front surface arranged for impacting a golf ball. A first arm extends generally rearwardly from a heel end of the face member, a second arm extends generally rearwardly from a toe end of the face member, and a central member extends rearwardly intermediate the heel and toe ends of the face member. The central member has an inner end adjacent the face member and an outer end spaced from the face member. The central member includes a pair of wings extending in opposite directions at the outer end thereof connecting the central member to the first and second arms rearwardly of the face member. A portion of the central member extends rearwardly of the wings.
A golf putter head includes a face member with a front surface arranged for impacting a golf ball. A first arm extends substantially rearwardly from a heel end of the face member, a second arm extends substantially rearwardly from a toe end of the face member, and a central member extends rearwardly from the face member intermediate the heel and toe ends thereof. The central member is connected to and extends rearwardly from a back surface of the face member. The central member is connected to the first and second arms rearwardly of the face member. The first and second arms have top surfaces that slope downwardly as the first and second arms extend away from the face member.
A method for manufacturing a golf club head with an insert having a face plate is disclosed herein. The insert is disposed in a recess of the club head in which the recess has a depth that is greater than the thickness of the insert. The insert is preferably composed of a thermoplastic polyurethane material formed from a polytetramethylene ether glycol terminated hexamethylene diisocyanate prepolymer having a NCO group content of 8.0% to 12.0%, and a 1,4 butane diol. An adhesive is preferably disposed between the rear wall of the recess and an interior surface of the insert. Further, an adhesive is applied between the plurality of tabs, and preferably over the exterior surface of each of the plurality of tabs.
