Abstract
A high moment of inertia is enabled in a novel golf putter head in which also infinite adjustment of the lie angle and adjustment of total weight over a very wide range are enabled. The putter can be configured for either right-handed or left-handed players. The putter head has a cylindrical recess partially open through the top of the head and fully open to the rear of the head allowing the insertion of a cylindrical shaft receiver disc. The shaft can be of any allowed length and the lie angle can be from 26 degrees to 10 degrees from vertical. The mass properties of the putter head may be changed and adjusted by addition or removal of weights at the extreme toe and heel ends of the putter head.
Claims6
A golf putter comprising:
- a putter head, the head having a cavity and a seat surface surrounding the cavity;
- a disk disposed in the cavity and having an outer face, the disk extending from the cavity an interference dimension beyond the seat surface to the outer face;
- the disk configured to rotate within the cavity about an axis in an adjustment condition;
- a plate located in contact with the outer face with a portion of the plate extending beyond the outer face and parallel the seat surface;
- the portion biased toward and contacting the seat surface in a fixed condition;
- an elongated shaft fixed to the disk;
- and
- at least one set of balance weights, each set comprising at least two balance weights;
- the head configured to receive and removably retain each set of balance weights.
