Golf putter

Abstract

A putter for striking a golf ball includes a cylindrical head containing a plurality of spaced openings in an outer surface thereof intermediate opposite ends of the head. The head has a diameter greater than the diameter of the golf ball. An hollow, elongated shaft is connected with the head. More particularly, a plug including a projection and a threaded portion removably connect the shaft with the head via a threaded connection, whereby when the head intermediate portion strikes the golf ball, a top spin is imparted on the ball and the ball is propelled toward a target.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 12 / 897,980 filed Oct. 5, 2010.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to golfing, and more particularly, to a golf putter.[0003]Putting may be one of the more difficult and important aspects of golf to master and constitutes a substantial portion of golf scores. Thus, golfers generally understand that putting is a skill that should be mastered in order to reduce golf scores and become overall better golfers. It is known that golfers should invest substantial time in putting practice to become good putters and golfers. However, most golfers simply do not have substantial amounts of time to invest in putting practice. Moreover, most golfers derive satisfaction from striking the golf ball because that is generally the most fascinating aspect of golf for them. Thus, most golfers are not interested in putting practice. Although most golfers are constrained by time or are not interested in putting pra...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method and putter for hitting a golf ball on a putting green. The putter has a cylindrical head with a hole for inserting the shaft and a pre-determined length. The head contains multiple spaced threaded openings and the shaft has a plug with a projection that connects them. The method involves grasping the putter and translating the head to a position near the ball. The shoulder of the golfer is oriented perpendicular to the shaft and the putter head is translated a distance away from the ball to create a top spin. The putter head is then translated towards the ball to strike it, causing the ball to move in a direction towards the hole. The putter has a unique design that allows for adjustable length and precise hitting of the ball.

Problems solved by technology

Putting may be one of the more difficult and important aspects of golf to master and constitutes a substantial portion of golf scores.

However, most golfers simply do not have substantial amounts of time to invest in putting practice.

However, golfers generally do not face the hole and generally do not concentrate on gently hitting the golf ball into the hole while putting.

Such golfers are generally not able to develop into good putters because the nervous tension negatively affects accurate putting.

This nervous condition may be evidence that conventional styles of putting are not natural, or at a minimum are flawed.

However, the different putting styles have not been known to offset the negative effects caused by nervous tension and also seem to be flawed due at least to the position of the golf ball.
