Abstract
A putter type golf club head having a unique ball striking face configuration to eliminate the dimple effect of grooved putters formed with a series of grooves and intermediate land areas between the grooves extending in a longitudinal direction across the striking face. Each of the grooves is characterized by a plurality of repeating, non-linear wave forms located at the center of the striking face and extending outwardly therefrom.

A putter type golf club head comprising a frontal ball striking face, top surface, bottom leading edge, heel, toe, rear surface and shaft connection;
- said frontal ball striking face characterized by a plurality of closely spaced grooves formed as repeating, non-linear waveforms;
- said grooves centrally located on said striking face and extending in a longitudinal direction between said toe and said heel;
- said frontal ball striking face further includes land areas between said grooves extending in a longitudinal direction across said striking face;
- said grooves being wider than the land areas separating the grooves.
A putter type golf club head having a frontal ball striking face, top surface, bottom leading edge, heel, toe, rear surface and shaft connection comprising:
- a series of individual wavy grooves and land areas separating said grooves extending in a longitudinal direction across said striking face between said toe and said heel;
- said grooves having a width greater than the width of the land areas between each of said individual grooves;
- said grooves characterized by a plurality of undulating wave forms in a repeating upwardly and downwardly wave pattern;
- each wave form of said individual grooves being substantially the same length;
- said grooves having an upper edge and lower edge;
- said groove upper edge extending upwardly toward said top surface the same distance as said groove lower edge extends downwardly toward said bottom leading edge;
- said grooves forming a pattern of repeating waves;
- said grooves arranged one groove over another between said top surface and said bottom leading edge.
