AI Technical Summary
Hitting the sweet spot of a golf putter requires skilled technique, and toe-heel balance putters, while improving straightness, do not provide a sharp hitting surface, making it difficult for beginners to consistently hit the ball accurately.
A golf putter with a vertical structure and a W-shaped weight symmetrically attached to the rear of the face, extending obliquely upwards, enhances the sensitivity of the sweet spot and increases spin rate when the ball misses it, mimicking the effect of hitting a billiard ball with a cue.
The W-shaped weight design ensures higher spin rates for off-center hits, improving ball control and accuracy by transmitting energy effectively to the sweet spot and generating spin from high impact points on either side.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a golf putter that has a function to supplement the spin rate of a ball that is hit off the optimal hitting point (hereinafter referred to as the sweet spot) (4). [Background technology]
[0002] Hitting the ball on the sweet spot (4) transfers energy efficiently, generating high rotations and improving the ball's straightness. On the other hand, hitting the ball off the sweet spot reduces the rotation speed. As shown in Figure 1, the W-shaped weight (3) is attached to the rear of the face (8) to increase the spin rate of balls that are hit off the sweet spot (4). Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] For beginners, hitting the sweet spot (4) of a golf putter every time requires skilled technique. Therefore, toe-heel balance golf putters are a common and popular solution for hitting the ball off the sweet spot. However, this does not mean that there are no problems.
[0004] The toe-heel balance has weights on both ends of the body, creating a horizontal structure, so the hitting surface in the middle is not sharp.
[0005] The present invention provides a golf putter with a vertical structure that has a highly sensitive sweet spot (4) in the center and also has the function of capturing balls that have been hit off the putter. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] As shown in FIG. 1, the golf putter of the present invention has a W-shaped weight (3) symmetrically attached to the rear of the face (8) of the main body (1) and extending obliquely upwards toward both ends. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] As shown in Figure 2, the W-shaped weight (3) is characterized by its shape, with the weight positioned higher and diagonally upwards towards both ends. When this effect is applied in sequence, the energy given to the shaft (2) when putting is transmitted to the sweet spot (4), but if the ball (6) or (7) misses the sweet spot (4) at this point, it will hit the high impact points (66) and (77) on both sides, increasing the spin rate. Furthermore, the farther the impact points (66) and (77) are from the sweet spot (4), the higher the weight position becomes, and the more spin the ball will be released from the high weight position. This has the same effect as hitting a billiard ball with a cue, which produces a high spin rate. This golf putter has the same effect as hitting a billiard ball with a cue at the top.
