Abstract
A multi-functional golf club head, designed to be used as a putter and/or chipper, depending on the location of the golf ball. The club head includes golf ball centering indicia on a top face, an angled striking surface, and rails on a flat bottom surface. The ball centering indicia are designed to assist the golfer in aligning the golf ball with the target and the best striking area of the club head. The striking surface of the club head is angled to loft or chip the golf ball from various locations on the golf course, by employing a putting stroke. The rails allow the golfer to chip the golf ball with a smooth putting stroke over fringe grasses. The rails are blunted or curved at the front of the club head so that the head does not catch or snag on a putting surface during a putting stroke.
Claims10
A golf club head, comprising:
- a top surface, having a shaft receiving hole;
- a flat bottom surface,
- an angled striking surface extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, said angled surface being flat and at an acute angle with the bottom surface;
- a back surface;
- and
- at least two rails extending from the flat bottom surface, with the rails being integral with the golf club head, and decreasing in height from the angled striking surface to the back surface;
- whereby when said golf club head is provided with a shaft, a shaft ferrule, and a gripping device, the golf club head can be used for both chipping and putting a golf ball, with the angled striking surface allowing a more positive roll of the golf ball while putting, and said rails allowing putting in areas not normally conducive to putting.
