Problems solved by technology

However, a putter that is not correctly fitted to the swing and stance characteristics of the golfer leads to difficulty for the golfer attempting to successfully complete a putt.
Unfortunately, golfers are not like a true pendulum support system.
Otherwise, an individual golfer must adjust his or her body position to suit the putter, compromising comfort and stroke plane.
As is well known, the problem remains as to how to enable a golfer to select and customize a putter which will improve the ability to successfully roll a golf ball across a putting green and into the cup.

Abstract

A golf club head is configured for an orientation of the face such that an intended target line is directed along an actual target line for a non-zero lofted club face and a preselected non-zero sole angle selected from sole angles within heel up and toe up orientations of the golf club head.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention generally relates to fitting a golf club to characteristics of a golfer, and more particularly to the fitting of a golf club head.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]Modifying a golf club to accommodate characteristics of a golfer is well known. By way of example, and as described in US Patent Application US 2002 / 0069133 to Currie et al. for a system and method for fitting putters, it is well known that a proper fitting of a golf club to the physique and playing style of an individual golfer will enhance performance. Further, while putting appears to be a relatively simple process, it requires a precise alignment of putter surface angles including lie angle and loft angle, by way of example. Currie et al. discloses a system that enables a golfer to customize a putter for the golfer's own physique and playing style and presents a golfer with a variety of putters having different club head styles. Included in the variety of putters with...
