AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008] This need is met by the present invention, which provides an elevated golf club foot to aid a golfer in correctly determining the optimum distance a club head should be above the ground before impact with a golf ball.

Problems solved by technology

Golf is a particularly difficult game to master.
If the club head is too low, the bottom of the club head will strike the ground before impact affecting the resulting shot.
Alternatively, if the club head strikes the ball too high on impact, the golfer will “top” the ball resulting in a significant loss of distance.
This trial and error method can be extremely time consuming and expensive.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose the new elevated golf club foot apparatus.

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Referring to the drawings wherein identical reference numerals denote the same elements throughout the various views, FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate an exemplary elevated foot 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention attached to the head 12 of a putter 14 having a shaft 16 and a grip 18. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the hosel of the shaft 16 is positioned substantially halfway between the heel 13 and toe 15 of the head 12 of the putter 14 for optimum putting performance. In one configuration, the shaft 16 can be substantially perpendicular to the head 12 of the putter 14, as illustrated in FIG. 2.

[0030]FIG. 3 illustrates a slightly different putter 14′ having a shaft 16′ and a head 18′. The hosel 11′ is disposed substantially halfway between the heel 13′ and the toe 15′ of the head 12. In contrast to the putter 14, the shaft 16′ is disposed at a non-perpendicular angle “A” to the head 12. In the illustrated example the angle A is about 15°.

Abstract

A golf club apparatus (14) for optimizing the golfing performances by helping golfers to strike the center of a golf ball which promotes top spin and avoids back spin to impart pure rolling motion without skipping or sliding. The apparatus (14) includes a shaft (16); a club head (12); a hosel (11) which connect shaft (16) to club head (12); an elevated foot (10) connected to club head (12).

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The benefit of the filing of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 594,728 filed May 2, 2005 is claimed. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. REFERENCE TO A SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISK APPENDIX [0003] Not applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] This invention relates generally to golf equipment, and more particularly to an elevated golf club foot for reducing a golfer's strokes while playing a round of golf. [0005] Golf is a particularly difficult game to master. Many golfers, amateur and professionals alike, spend countless hours attempting to master the “perfect” golf swing. The golf swing has many different components that require the exertion of multiple muscles in the body. A consistent golf swing can be accomplished when the muscles are conditioned to repetitively make the same motion. One component of the swing in which mus...
