Peripheral-weighted putter head

a putter head and peripheral weight technology, applied in the field of golf putters, can solve the problems of large increase in the area of the putter, large weight of the putter, and fixed overall weight and weight distribution relative to the face, and achieve the effect of balanced peripheral weighting

Benefits of technology

[0015] Also featured is a golf putter head having a toe and a heel, comprising a face defining a substantially circular ball-striking portion, and narrowed lateral portions extending from the ball-striking portion toward the toe and the heel, a rear section spaced from and essentially parallel to the face, and a connecting section extending from the ball-striking portion of the face to the rea

Problems solved by technology

However, many of these putter designs have a substantial bottom face area that can easily touch the ground during the swing, either by improper downward motion of the putter head, or a slight transverse rocking of the head.
Another drawback is that the substantial area greatly increases the drag of the putter when the head moves through

Embodiment Construction

[0019]FIG. 1 is a top view of putter head 8 constructed in accordance with the invention. Face 13 is connected to rear section 44 by central section 42. In this embodiment, these three are unitary, made from cast aluminum. Cylindrical central sections 11 and 12 have a part cylindrical shape lengthwise that runs transversely from the face 13 to rear sections 20 and 21, and run on a parallel axis to the ball travel line. Sections 11 and 12 are only joined together at face 13. Each of part cylindrical shaped sections 11 and 12 extend out at the rear to form rear section 44 that is at a right angle to central section 42, thus parallel to face 13, and taper to rear section extensions 20 and 21. These extensions provide means of attaching peripheral weights 14 and 15. Weights 14 and 15 are of metal (e.g., stainless steel or brass) and are affixed to extensions 20 and 21 as well as to face 13 at points 16, 17, 18, and 19, preferably with machine screws or similar mechanical or threaded mem...

Abstract

A golf putter head having a toe and a heel. The putter head has a face defining a ball-striking portion and lateral portions extending from the ball-striking portion toward the toe and the heel. There is a rear section spaced from the face, and a connecting section extending from the ball-striking portion of the face to the rear section. A pair of elongated weights, one weight coupled at one end to each of the lateral portions of the face at locations equidistant from the ball-striking portion, and each weight also coupled at its other end to the rear section, accomplish balanced peripheral weighting. The weights are preferably replaceable.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims priority of Provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 515,876, filed on Oct. 30, 2003.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to a golf putter. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] It is known that peripheral-weighted putters can assist with maintaining proper alignment of the putter through the swing and contact with the ball. However, many of these putter designs have a substantial bottom face area that can easily touch the ground during the swing, either by improper downward motion of the putter head, or a slight transverse rocking of the head. Another drawback is that the substantial area greatly increases the drag of the putter when the head moves through longer grass on the fringe of the green. [0004] Yet another disadvantage of many of these putters is that the overall weight and the weight distribution relative to the face are fixed. Such putters with adjustable weight designs typically have one or mo...
