A putter for playing golf having a club head that is symmetrical on each side of a central stem and having a handle which extends between about 10 degrees and 15 degrees from vertical as presented by the stem. The top of the club head carries sighting or aiming indicia and the handle extends down the shaft for a length in excess of half of the height of the putter or golf club. The sighting indicia is parallel and spaced-apart the distance of about the diameter of a golf ball on the top surface ...

A putter uses an angled mirrored upper club surface with a deeply scribed and pigment filled line to act as a sighting device. In one embodiment, a clear plastic block has a bottom surface coated with a highly reflective coating. A pair of lines are scribed on upper and lower surfaces of the block and must be aligned while the target is sighted in the mirrored surface. Other embodiments utilize deep grooves formed in the top of a mirrored or unmirrored club surface.

It is to provide a putter adapted so that a head thereof can easily be drawn straightly backward at a back-swing. It is to locate a center G of gravity of the head more frontward (in a direction of a face side thereof than the center axis of a shaft.

A putter type golf club including a head, shaft and ball striking face, having its center of mass disposed at least 10 cm. behind the striking face creating an improved effective polar moment of inertia and a "shaft-force axis" disposed at a position relative to the center of mass creating a "self-aligning-stability" force throughout the acceleration portion of the putting stroke, wherein most of the head is made of lightweight material and a heavy weight is disposed in the head at a rearward lo...

Disclosed is a putter which is made of a lower shaft and an upper shaft, both shafts being rotatable with respect to one another and enabling to convert a right handed putter into a left handed putter and vice versa. Furthermore, the handle is arranged so as to create a pendulum effect thus enabling the putter head to hit the ball and causing it to travel along a very straight line.

A hollow, double-faced mallet-shaped putter is made from a plug and a cap into which the plug fits. A handle is inserted through the body of the cap. In one embodiment the cap may be fabricated from a pipe cap, the peripheral flange being removed and the exterior machined cylindrical, and a pipe cap threaded therein, the wrench grip of the plug being removed after insertion. Both ends of the putter are machined flat and perpendicular to the central axis of the club head.

A putter has a shaft with a head at one end thereof. The head includes a front face for striking a golf ball and two pivot points opposite the front face. The head also includes a bottom surface, at least a portion of which is adapted to rest on a putting green. The angle between the front face and a straight line defined by the pivot points is substantially equal to the angle between the shaft and a normal to the putting green. The putter is first placed in a prone position, whereupon the golfe...

A golf putter in which there is an enlarged somewhat elongate body and a transverse planar head connected by a narrow neck portion, the weight of the putter being balanced at least front and rear of the shaft connection and preferably laterally also, the shaft being connected substantially at the center of gravity of the putter.

A putter (10) including a putter head (12) attached to a golf shaft (14) having a longitudinal axis (16). The putter head (12) includes a heel (18) and toe (20). A sole (22) extends along the bottom of the putter head (12). A putter face (24) is provided for impacting a golf ball (66). A cantilevered extension (26) is provided between the putter head (12) and a hosel (28) for the putter (10). The cantilevered extension (26) includes a lower flange (30) that faces the upper side of the toe (20) o...

A putter has a chamber extending lengthwise of its head in which there is a battery powered motor driving a fly wheel at the outer end of the head at a rate such that a gyroscopic force is provided adequate to stabilize the head against being turned by the golfer as a putt is made. The head is shown as symmetrical so that a putter may be used by either a left-handed or a right-handed golfer and the head may be weighted as desired by placing one or more weights within the chamber. The switch cont...
