Abstract: A putter with a ball-striking face and a rear portion in relation-to this face, which has a fin on the rear face which is inclined with regard to the line between ball and hole in such a way that the direction of some of its edges indicates the trajectory to be followed in the backswing through the inside area in relation to the position of the player. The fin can be replaced by an obvious, clear mark made on the putter in the appropriate direction.
Abstract: A measuring device for measuring the degree of tension of stringing in a racquet for tennis, squash etc. where string deflecting force and string deflection in response to the force are measured. The useful or real efficiency of a specific racquet can then be determined independently of the degree of elasticity of the material used for stringing.
