  • Patent number: 6899632
    Abstract: A golf putter and a method for using the same is disclosed. The golf putter includes a putter head with an insert and a radial bottom, a shaft attached to the putter head, and a grip having a gap and a weight attached to the shaft, wherein the gap includes a cutout for attaching a clip. When the clip is connected to a golfer's body, the golf putter is effectively anchored to the golfer. The method includes providing a golf club having a putter head with a putting face, approaching a golf ball such that the big toe of the foot furthest from the target is placed adjacent to the golf ball and the golfer's dominant eye is directly over the golf ball, positioning the golfer erect at forty-five degrees to the target, gripping the putter with the golfer's dominant arm, and putting the golf ball by moving the dominant arm and putter along the target line such that the face of the putter head engages the golf ball with appropriate force to drive the golf ball to the target.

  • Patent number: 5203190
    Abstract: An elongate tubular member with a seamless frusto-conical interior wall surface having a selected taper angle of typically 5.degree. or less which is formed from a metal tubular member of ductile material and circular wall cylinder configuration by the process of sequentially expanding contiguous length segments of the ductile tubular member to an interior frusto-conical wall configuration. The process involves inserting the tubular member into a female die member which defines an interior frusto-conical surface with a selected cone angle of typically 10.degree. or less with the tubular member coaxially aligned with the die member interior surface.
