Benefits of technology

[0003]The putter type golf club of the present invention is an improvement of my putter shown and described in application Ser. No. 14 / 792,747, now abandoned. The putter of the present invention is radically different from putters that are currently available in the marketplace that use hollow shafts. The putter is made with a unique weight distribution to increase stability and decrease vibration of the putter during the execution of a putting stroke. The putter uses a traditionally shaped head that is lighter than conventional putter heads of similar shape and a shaft structure preferably made with stainless steel. Preferably the putter head has a blade type shape that is used to strike the ball during the execution of a golfer's putting stroke. The putter head weighs no greater than 310 grams as compared to conventional putter heads that typically weigh 335-370 grams and heavier. The shaft portion is approximately ¼ inch in diameter and weighs approximately 200 grams as compared to conventional putter shafts that typically weigh approximately 100 grams.

Problems solved by technology

This is particularly true with older golfers whose physical abilities have declined with age with the result that the golfer's feel is greatly diminished.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The drawings show a golf putter 100 of the present invention. The putter has four main parts, a conventional club head 102, with a striking face 104, an elongated shaft 106 a grip fixture 110 and a conventional grip 116. The head 102 and shaft 106 are connected in a conventional way by insertion of the shaft into the head 102 or using a hosel, not shown. Preferably the shaft 106 is made of solid, rigid stainless steel and has a ¼ inch diameter extending between the head 102 and an upper end 108 of the putter 100.

[0014]The head 102 may be any shape such as a blade or similar conventional shape as an example. It will be appreciated the putter head may include separate structures, such as weight members or face inserts, while maintaining the same overall structure of the head 102.

[0015]The grip fixture 110 is attached to an upper section 112 of the shaft 106 from the upper end 108 approximately 10-11 inches on the shaft 106 toward the head 102. The grip fixture 110 is formed with...

Abstract

A putter type golf club having a putter head and elongated, solid metal shaft attached thereto. A grip fixture is attached to an upper section of the elongated shaft and a golf grip is attached to and overlies the grip fixture forming a solid connection between the shaft, the grip fixture and the grip.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to golf putters and in particular to a golf putter having a unique weight distribution for enhanced stability during a putting stroke.[0002]When playing the game of golf, it is important and necessary for the golfer to have consistent feel when striking a golf ball in order to produce repeatable golf shots to insure the golf ball travels precise distances and to the desired location. While this is true for all types of golf shots, it is particularly true for golf shots struck with a putter type golf club where the impact force against the golf ball is significantly less than full swing golf shots. Typically, amateur golfers miss hit the golf ball away from the precise center of percussion a large percentage of the time. A given golfer will miss-hit the golf ball more often as the golfer's handicap rises. This is particularly true with older golfers whose physical abilities have declined with age with the result that the ...
