Removable adhesive backed pads for golf club striking surfaces

A removable striking face pad for a golf club comprising:

• a generally planar body having dimensions corresponding generally to those of a golf club head striking face and having first and second opposing surfaces, said first surface including a plurality of generally parallel continuous ridges extending generally horizontally and spaced vertically from each other, the continuous horizontal extent of said ridges corresponding generally to the width of said pad, and said ridges being firm enough to impart spin to a golf ball yet not significantly mar the surface of the golf ball;
• said opposing second surface of said pad including a layer of adhesive material for temporarily securing the pad to the striking face of a golf club head.
