  • Publication number: 20260158357
    Abstract: A device and system for golf putter alignment is disclosed, designed to enhance the golfer's ability to achieve accurate alignment toward a target. The device comprises a plate positioned on the top of a putter head and a mount located on the bottom of the putter head, with the mount being releasably connected to the plate via one or more fasteners. The top surface of the plate features at least one alignment marking, which serves as a visual aid to assist golfers in aligning their putter face and body correctly during putting. This innovative system allows for easy customization of alignment markings, enabling golfers to adapt the device to their personal preferences and playing style. The alignment device is compatible with various putter head styles, including mallet, blade, and wing-style putters, making it a versatile tool for improving performance on the green.

  • Publication number: 20260021353
    Abstract: A golf club alignment system integrates a detachable alignment device with a visual aid emitter and a club head interface that accepts interchangeable alignment plates with alignment markings. The device mounts to the face backside and references the topline to emit a beam that indicates target direction. The plates provide centerlines and optional shapes in chromatic or monochromatic schemes so a user can select markings that match personal visual preference. An indoor device projects a line on a surface and an outdoor device projects a dot on a portable backdrop. A diagnostic method guides selection by comparing accuracy with different color classes and with line only or shape inclusive markings and then choosing the preferred plate based on measured results.

  • Patent number: 8133126
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a golf club having alignment markings that assist a golfer in finding a proper and consistent posture before addressing the ball. In one embodiment, a golf club according to the present invention includes a shaft, a club head having a striking face, a hosel coupling the club head to the shaft, and one or more alignment markings at a position substantially elevated from the club head and substantially behind the shaft. Embodiments of the golf club may further comprise an appendage extending outwardly from the golf club and carrying alignment markings thereon in a direction substantially parallel to the striking face. Such alignment markings provide a golfer with a proper setup when the shaft is seen by the golfer as interposed between, and parallel to, the alignment markings. A golf club according to the present invention may be configured in a variety of shapes, for example, as a putter, an iron, a driver or a wood.

  • Patent number: 7083525
    Abstract: A golf club head comprising an integral toe, heel and center section, with the center section including a cavity. The center section is structured so that the majority of the weight of the golf club head is positioned at the toe and heel. One embodiment of the golf club head includes an insert located in the cavity and a second insert is located in the golf ball striking face of the golf club head. The inserts, alone and in combination, increase the feel transmitted through the golf club head to the golfer.

  • Patent number: 6692378
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a golf club having a golf club head with a channel on the head. The golf club head may be a putter-type club head that is used to putt the golf ball on a green. The use of the channel on the club head provides a mass distribution that can result in a high moment of inertia so that the club head resists twisting in the player's hand when the club head strikes a golf ball. The channel also assists a player in aligning the club head to strike a golf ball. The channel may be located on the upper face of the club head so that the player can see the channel when addressing a golf ball with the golf club. The channel extends from a front, strike face of the club head to a rear face of the club head and is preferably aligned with an axis that corresponds to the desired direction of travel of a golf ball that is struck with the club head.
