Abstract: A putter having a putter head with a vertical flat machined surface thereon and a hosel threadedly connected to the putter head. The putter head has a hole extending into a top surface toward a bottom surface. The hosel has a portion extending into the hole. The hosel has a shaft receiving opening on an end opposite to the portion extending into the hole for receiving a shaft therein. The putter head and the hosel are made of a leaded steel or brass material. The hole is threaded within the putter head for receiving the threads of the hosel in mating engagement. The hole extends in parallel relationship to the machined surface generally adjacent to the machined surface.
Abstract: This invention provides novel cyclic acetals useful as delayed release flavorants and odorants having the general formula: ##STR1## These compounds possess no detectable flavor or odor themselves at normal temperatures and atmospheric conditions but release an aldehyde flavorant upon heating at higher temperatures. The novel cyclic acetals of the present invention may be used as flavorants in tobacco compositions or tobacco substitutes, as sustained flavorants and odorants to mask or enhance the flavors and odors of burning tobacco products, as flavor additives to microwaveable foods, and in the preparation of chewing gums.

Abstract: The flavor substances of the present invention are prepared by toasting (heating) natural tobacco in an inert atmosphere at a temperature of at least about 225.degree. C., condensing at least a portion of the volatiles driven-off during the toasting, and collecting the a portion of the uncondensed volatiles by sorption (adsorption and/or absorption) on a solid or liquid sorbent medium. Either the sorbent medium containing the trapped volatiles or the volatiles themselves may be used as the flavor substances of the present invention.
