Abstract
A putter head (10) comprised of a frame or bracket housing (12), two end bodies (14a) and (14b), and a face (18) having uniform thickness. The two equally dimensioned end bodies (14a) and (14b) are mounted adjacent or outboard of the frame or bracket housing (12). The tabular face (18) is mounted to the end blocks (14a) and (14b). The putter head face (18) is provided with a 0.degree. to +10.degree. loft.
Claims16
A putter head for use with a golf club having a shaft, said putter head having a heel end and a toe end comprising:
- a heel weight and a toe weight, said heel weight and said toe weight being of the same composition, similarly shaped and having substantially the same mass;
- a frame for maintaining fixed, spatial relation between said heel weight and said toe weight, said frame including an opening for securing said shaft to said putter head;
- a face plate having uniform thickness, said face being generally tabular and having a front surface and a rear surface, the front surface and rear surface separated by a perimeter comprising a top edge and a bottom edge and two side edges, said face plate abuttingly attached by a first means for attachment to a first surface of said heel weight and by a second means for attachment to a first surface of said toe weight to form a uniform gap between said frame and said face plate along the entire height of said face plate from said top edge to said bottom edge between said heel weight and said toe weight;
- wherein said heel weight, said toe weight, said frame and said face are assembled into a unitary structure defining said putter head wherein 70% of the total weight of said putter head is located within three-quarter inch of said heel end and said toe end.
A putter head for a golf club having a shaft, said putter head having a heel end and a toe end comprising:
- a frame, said frame having a planar front face, a bottom face, a planar top face, a planar rear face and two planar side faces;
- two identically composed, similarly dimensioned and weighted separate end blocks, dimensioned to lay against said planar top face of said frame with a front portion of each of said separate end blocks extending beyond said front face of said frame;
- and
- a front plate having uniform thickness, said front plate abuttingly mounted to said end blocks such that a space is defined extending between said front plate and the front face of said frame along an entire bottom length of said front plate and further such that approximately 80% of the total weight of said putter head is located within one inch of said heel end and said toe end of said putter head.
The putter head as described in claim 13 wherein said front plate has a loft of 5.degree..
A putter head for a golf club having a shaft, said putter head having a heel end and a toe end comprising:
- a one piece, L-shaped bracket having a face plate portion of uniform thickness and a base member portion, said face plate portion and said base member portion being generally tabular and disposed one to the other, integrally joined along adjacent edges thereof at an included angle of between 80.degree. and 95.degree., said L-shaped bracket being generally bilaterally symmetrical;
- two identically composed, similarly dimensioned and weighted separate end blocks;
- means to mount said end blocks on removed ends of said bracket;
- and
- means to mount the shaft to said one of said end blocks;
- wherein said end blocks are abuttingly mounted with faces thereof substantially flush with a rear surface of said face plate portion and a top surface of said base member portion of said L-shaped bracket and wherein approximately 80% of the total weight of said putter head is located within one inch of said heel end and said toe ends of said putter head.
A putter head for a golf club having a shaft, said putter head having a heel end and a toe end comprising:
- a heel end block and a toe end block of identical bronze composition, said end blocks being similarly dimensioned to provide a 5.degree. loft to said putter head and having generally flat surfaces, said heel end block having shaft attachment means integral therewith;
- a base plate having a flat upper surface;
- a face plate having a flat front surface and a flat rear surface, said front and rear surfaces being joined by a perimeter and having uniform thickness;
- means for attaching said end blocks to said base plate at removed ends thereof whereon 70%-80% of the total weight of said putter head is located within three-quarter inch to one inch of said heel end and said toe end;
- and
- means for abuttingly attaching said rear surface of said face plate to said end blocks.
