Embodiment Construction

[0040]The present invention is an adjustable customized golf club with a replaceable striking surface attachment, and a method for replacing the striking surface attachment. The representative embodiment of the golf club is a golf putter.

[0041]Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention, broadly stated, includes a putter head 1, a striking surface attachment 2, and one or more lock fittings 3. The configuration of putter head 1 is designed to match the configuration of striking surface attachment 2 such that the two components fit squarely and tightly together. For example, putter head 1 can have a cavity into which a matching shaped portion of striking surface attachment2 fits. The one or more lock fittings 3 positively lock striking surface attachment 2 to putter head 1 such that striking surface attachment 2 does not loosen, yet still permit quick removal of striking surface attachment 2. The result is a firmly fixed but quickly breakable bond. In a further representative embodime...

Abstract

An adjustable customized golf club, e.g., a golf putter, as well as a method for using the club, wherein the club has a head, a striking surface attachment, and one or more lock fittings that positively lock the striking surface attachment to the head. The striking surface attachment is one of several selectable attachments, each with different performance characteristics, e.g., rebound. The one or more lock fittings positively lock the striking surface attachments to the putter head such that the club components are firmly fixed, yet are still quickly removable and replaceable. One embodiment provides a golf club comprising a head that houses a cam for engagement with posts disposed on a striking surface attachment.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 860,207, filed Nov. 21, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to a golf club, and more particularly, to a golf putter having a replaceable striking surface attachment.[0004]2. Background of the Invention[0005]Most golfers recognize that putting with accurate direction and distance requires a club that communicates a precise sense of touch and feel. The desire to maximize this precise touch and feel and to accurately control the direction of the ball has spawned literally hundreds of golf putter designs. Examples of these various designs include increased putter head mass to accommodate short backswings and lengthen ball travel, balanced putter head mass to improve directional accuracy, decreased putter head mass to increase accuracy, and special putter face striking surfaces that impart a hei...
