Abstract
A putter club head has a longitudinal body and a means of attaching a shaft thereto. The body may be solid, hollow, or partially hollow or solid. If hollow or partially hollow, the body may have a weighted mass therein. Such a weighted mass may be located towards a front section of the club head near a ball striking surface. The means to attach a shaft is located in the rear section of said body in proximity to the distal end of the rear section of said body. The shaft may curve and bend so that it is oriented near the center of the body and towards a golfer addressing a golf ball.
Claims34
A golf putter comprising:
- a shaft;
- a substantially hollow, longitudinal body, said body comprising a front segment, a rear segment, and a horizontal axis;
- means for receiving said shaft, said means located at an end of said rear segment distal from said front segment;
- a ball striking surface attached to said front segment;
- and
- a weighted mass within said body;
- wherein a portion of said shaft in proximity to said means for receiving said shaft leans toward said front segment;
- and further wherein said shaft comprises a first bend directing said shaft towards an axis perpendicular to said horizontal axis and towards a lateral side of said body.
A putter club head comprising:
- a substantially hollow, longitudinal body, said body comprising a front segment, a rear segment, and a horizontal axis;
- means for receiving a shaft, said means located in proximity to said rear segment;
- a ball striking surface located in proximity to said front segment;
- and
- a weighted mass within said body.
A golf putter comprising:
- a shaft;
- a substantially hollow, longitudinal body, said body comprising a front segment, a rear segment, and a horizontal axis;
- a hole in said body for receiving said shaft, said hole located in proximity to said rear segment;
- a ball striking surface located in proximity to said front segment;
- and
- a weighted mass within said front segment adjacent to said striking surface;
- wherein said shaft proximate to said hole forms an angle with said body such that said shaft proximate to said hole leans toward said front segment;
- wherein said body is substantially oval at a cross section perpendicular to the horizontal axis;
- and wherein a bend in said shaft orients said shaft perpendicularly to said horizontal axis of said body and towards a lateral side of said body;
- and
- further wherein said weighted mass comprises approximately 25% to 35% of said body by length.
