Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This work is about a golf putter head. Prior Technology
[0002] Golf clubs have different materials and textures on their striking faces. The material of the striking face affects the feel, sound, and ball roll. The texture of the striking face primarily affects the feel, friction at impact, and ball roll.
[0003] For beginners, learning golf requires switching between different clubs to practice hitting the ball. However, due to cost considerations, most golf driving ranges do not provide clubs made of all materials. For users, preparing clubs made of all materials is a huge expense and also very inconvenient to carry. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention proposes a disc-shaped putter head module for mounting on the end of a golf club. Users can change the striking face of the disc-shaped putter head module to achieve different shot effects.
[0005] The disc-shaped push rod head module proposed in this work has the following characteristics: A ring-shaped component that surrounds and forms an installation space; A connector, detachably disposed within the mounting space of the annular member, and the connector conforming to the wall of the mounting space; the connector having: A rod hole is formed on the top surface of the connector, with the opening of the rod hole facing upwards; the club passes through the rod hole; A striking component, detachably disposed on the side of the annular component; the striking component has: A plane, which is the side of the striking element away from the annular element; An insert is detachably disposed on the plane of the striking element.
[0006] The advantage of this design lies in the removable insert of the disc putter head module. When using the disc putter head module, the side of the insert away from the ring is the striking face. Users do not need to prepare multiple clubs; they can simply change the insert of different materials or surface finishes to experience the different striking effects resulting from different striking faces.
[0007] As in the disc-shaped push rod head module described above, the included angle between the rod hole and the bottom surface of the connector is 63 to 79.5 degrees.
[0008] As described above, in the disc-shaped putter head module, the connector has a ball pickup hole that connects the top and bottom surfaces of the connector; the diameter of the ball pickup hole is larger than the diameter of a golf ball.
[0009] As described above, the disc-shaped push rod head module has at least one counterweight, which is detachably disposed on the annular member.
[0010] As described above, in the disc-shaped push rod head module, at least one counterweight is detachably disposed on the wall of the mounting space of the annular member.
[0011] As described above, in the disc-shaped push rod head module, the annular member has an inner annular surface that forms the wall of the mounting space, and the inner annular surface has at least one counterweight groove; the at least one counterweight is detachably disposed in the at least one counterweight groove.
[0012] As described above, in the disc-shaped push rod head module, when the at least one counterweight is located in the at least one counterweight groove, the wall of the mounting space and the at least one counterweight are attached to the connector.
[0013] As mentioned above, in the disc-shaped push rod head module: The annular component has a first engaging groove; The connector has a second engaging groove, and the position of the second engaging groove corresponds to the first engaging groove; The disc-shaped push rod head module has a fixing member; the first engagement groove and the second engagement groove can together accommodate the fixing member.
[0014] As in the disc-shaped push rod head module described above, the insert is made of metal, polymer, carbon fiber, ceramic, or a mixture of metal and polymer.
[0015] As in the disc-shaped push rod head module described above, the surface of the insert away from the annular member is either smooth or rough. Simple Explanation of the Diagram

Implementation
[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5. This invention proposes a disc-shaped putter head module for mounting on the end of a golf club to form a golf club. The disc-shaped putter head module has an annular component 10, at least one counterweight 20, a connector 30, a fixing component 40, a striking component 50, and an insert 60.
[0018] The annular member 10 has an installation space 11, an inner annular surface 12, and a first engaging groove 13. The annular member 10 surrounds the installation space 11, and the inner annular surface 12 is the wall of the installation space 11. The inner annular surface 12 has at least one counterweight groove 14, in which a counterweight 20 is detachably disposed. A connector 30 is detachably disposed in the installation space 11 of the annular member 10, and the connector 30 fits against the inner annular surface 12. When the counterweight 20 is located in the counterweight groove 14, the inner annular surface 12 and the counterweight 20 fit against the connector 30. Specifically, the counterweight 20 has a curved surface, and when the counterweight 20 is located in the counterweight groove 14, the curved surface connects to the wall of the installation space 11 and forms a continuous surface with the inner annular surface 12, and together they fit against the connector 30. The weight slot 14 and weight block 20 can be located off-center, either to the left or right, rather than on the central axis of the disc putter head module. Therefore, different weights of weight blocks 20 can be selected based on the user's physical abilities or habits to adjust the center of gravity of the disc putter head module. Furthermore, with traditional putters, the impact face is affected by the clubhead weight and club angle design during the swing, potentially requiring the user to make subtle adjustments with their wrist or arm to maintain the direction of the impact face. Adjusting the weight of the disc putter head module provides a zero-torque state, allowing the impact face to naturally maintain alignment with the putter's arc at any angle, without automatically flipping or deviating. This eliminates the need for the user to exert effort to resist excess rotational forces during the swing.
[0019] The connector 30 has a rod hole 31, a ball pickup hole 32, and a second engaging groove 33. The rod hole 31 is formed on the top surface of the connector 30, and the opening of the rod hole 31 faces upward. The included angle θ between the rod hole 31 and the bottom surface of the connector 30 is 63~79.5 degrees. The golf club can pass through the rod hole 31 to connect to the disc putter head module. The ball pickup hole 32 connects the top and bottom surfaces of the connector 30, and the diameter of the ball pickup hole 32 is larger than the diameter of a golf ball. The user can pick up the golf ball through the ball pickup hole 32 without bending over. The first engaging groove 13 and the second engaging groove 33 are corresponding in position and can jointly accommodate the fixing member 40, thereby fixing the connector 30 in the mounting space 11 of the annular member 10.
[0020] The striking element 50 is detachably disposed on the side of the annular member 10 and has a flat surface 51. The flat surface 51 is away from the annular member 10 and is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the connector 30. A insert 60 is detachably disposed on the flat surface 51 of the striking element 50. The insert 60 may be made of metal, polymer, carbon fiber, ceramic, or a mixture of metal and polymer. The surface of the insert 60 away from the annular member 10 is a striking surface and may be smooth or rough. In this embodiment, the surface of the insert 60 away from the annular member 10 has a grid-like groove and presents a rough surface, but this is not a limitation.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 and 6. The disc-shaped pusher head module of the second embodiment is similar to that of the first embodiment, except that the connector 30A in the second embodiment does not have a ball pickup hole 32. Users can install the connector 30 of the first embodiment or the connector 30A of the second embodiment on the annular member 10 according to their personal needs.
[0022] When using the disc putter head module, the user installs the end of the putter into the hole 31 of the connector 30 and strikes the ball with the insert 60 on the striking member 50. The user does not need to prepare multiple putters; simply by changing the insert 60 of different materials or surface conditions, the user can experience the different striking effects caused by different striking surfaces.
