A golf putter head has a body with a cavity in its front face containing an insert member having a front, ball striking face co-planar with the front face of the body. The insert member comprises a honeycomb cellular structure with the cells of the structure filled with a resilient, epoxy material. The walls of the cellular structure are mounted in the cavity perpendicular to the inclined club striking face surface and have exposed cell edges co-planar with the surface of the resilient material ...

A putter cover is particularly adapted for center shafted putters. The cover has a pair of flexible non-elastic sides of at least the same length as the main striking face of the putter head. The sides are joined at the top edge and partially joined along a bottom edge at opposing ends. An opening is formed along the bottom edge which is provided by the partial joinder, so that the putter head can pass through the opening and be covered by the two sides.

A golf putter for putting a ball along a path of desired golf ball travel includes a head having a planar striking surface. A horizontal extension from the head positions the shaft in a vertical plane 1/2 inch to 2 inches rearward of the head. The extension provides the connecting link between the shaft and the rear surface of the head and locates the center of gravity of the head between the shaft and the ball to be stroked when the head is in a striking position relative to the ball.

A golf club for putting comprising a variably configurable head which includes a carrier body having a demountably attached striker insert assembly. The striker insert assembly is formed with a cavity for containing removable weights and may be attached in various ways to the carrier body to change the loft and/or convert the club from right hand to left hand.

A customized putter including a shaft bent adjacent the head with a reverse curve, and a head to which the shaft is mounted with a ball and socket joint so that the shaft may be moved orbitally relative to the head to secure the precise position or attitude which is best suited to the stance, address, and other features individual to the owner, face balancing the club in its determined attitude by rotation of the shaft on its own axis in its horizontal balanced position until the striking face i...

A golf club includes a club head having two body members and a hosel. Each of the two body members has a planar striking face, and the two faces determine an angle of 90.degree.. Each of the two body members also has a bath surface which is grooved to reduce weight. The hosel joins the body members near the vertex of the 90.degree. angle. A club shaft is inserted into the hosel. Indicia are formed on the upper surfaces of each of the body members which are parallel to a bisector of the 90.degree...

A putter having a soft elastomeric striking face is described. The elastomer of the striking face has a hardness of at least 70 Durometer A and a hardness less than the hardness of a golf ball, and a high resiliency with controlled dampening. This hardness permits penetration of a golf ball into the elastomer when a ball is stroked with the elastomeric face, and the resiliency and controlled dampening causes the stroked ball to rebound from the face at a distance at least as great as the distanc...

A golf putter is disclosed comprising a shaft, an offset portion and a head. The head is laterally and vertically displaced from the shaft by the offset portion. The head is attached to the offset portion is such a way that when the putter is properly positioned for ball to club alignment, the offset portion is attached to an end portion of the head furthest from the golfer's body. The view presented thereby is of a shaft which appears to pass in a parallel but laterally displaced plane in front...

A golf putter of the type having a head with a front to rear elongated rod-like weight or ram encased in a transparent plastics material body is provided with a rotatable rod or ram portion to shift the axial center of mass of the head to correct manufacturing variations and to correct errors in the putting stroke. The rotatable weight or ram section has an off-center or eccentric mass which is easily adjusted from the rear face of the putter head to compensate for pulled or pushed putting strok...

A golf putter has a generally vertically extending hole of circular cross section extending entirely through the head between the top wall and bottom wall. The hole splits a sighting mark on the top surface of the putter head into forward and rearward segments and divides the head into substantially equal masses in order to counterbalance tendencies of the head to twist out of position upon misaligned contact between a golf ball and the putter striking face. The hole may be used as a visual alig...
