Abstract
A process for modifying the face of a putter including the steps of milling out recess in a portion of the face, inserting a carrier strip coated on opposites with adhesive and inserting a plastic insert plate with the same dimensions as the recess. The insert plate is formed with an outward side having a group of closely spaced parallel V-shaped grooves running in one direction and another group of closely spaced parallel V-shaped grooves running in an intersecting direction, the grooves defining a plurality of pyramids having flat tops. The invention may also be described as a putter having such an insert and a plastic insert per se, described above.

A method for modifying the face of a golf putter head comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a golf putter having a head with a flat face,
- b. milling out a portion of the face to define a recess having desired lateral dimensions and a rear surface,
- c. providing a carrier strip coated on opposite sides with an adhesive,
- d. pressing the carrier strip against the rear surface of the recess,
- e. providing a plastic insert plate of the same lateral dimensions as the recess and having an inward side and an outward side, the outward side being formed with a group of closely spaced parallel V-shaped grooves running in one direction and another group of closely spaced parallel V-shaped grooves running in another direction, intersecting the one direction, the two groups defining a plurality of pyramids having flat tops, and
- f. pressing the insert in the recess with the inward side against the coated carrier strip.
An insert for a recess in the face of a golf putter comprising a flat plate of plastic having an inward side and an outward side, the outward side being formed with a group of closely spaced parallel V-shaped grooves running in one direction and another group of closely spaced parallel V-shaped grooves running in another direction intersecting the one direction, the two groups defining on the outward side a plurality of pyramids having flat tops.
