  • Patent number: 5558586
    Abstract: A golf putter head and a golf club are provided. Using two conventional shafts and connecting them in two hosels of the golf putter head, the golfer may position his or her hands at a distance apart and thus create a natural pendulum motion from the shoulder. The position of the hands may be varied to accommodate a range of golfers with different physiques by the application of force to the grips, moving them toward or away from each other. In addition, or in the alternative, the distance between the hands may be decreased by such force as the golfer becomes more comfortable with the feel of the shoulder stroke to more closely simulate the use of a conventional putter club. The present invention also includes a method of teaching a desirable and repeatable putting form and stroke.

  • Patent number: 5551696
    Abstract: A golf putter club for training a golfer to repeatedly putt using a constant putting stroke and a method for using the same. The constant putting stroke is defined by the movement of the shoulders of the golfer in a pendulum motion. A putter head body having a heel, a top and a ball striking face is provided. A connecting neck is affixed to the top of the putter head body and rigidly couples first and second hosels to the top of the putter head body. The first hosel has a first proximate end attached to the neck and a second opposing end sized and configured to rigidly hold a connecting end of a first shaft in a fixed position relative to the putter head body. The second hosel has a first proximate end attached to the neck and a second opposing end sized and configured to rigidly hold a connecting end of a second shaft in a fixed position relative to the putter head body.

  • Patent number: 5547196
    Abstract: A golf pitching wedge for training a golfer to repeatedly swing the wedge using a constant chipping swing and a method for using the same. The constant chipping swing is defined by the movement of the shoulders of the golfer in a pendulum motion. A wedge-shaped club head having a top and a ball striking face is provided. A first hosel has a first end coupled to the top of the club head and a second end for rigidly holding a connecting end of a first shaft in a fixed position relative to the club head. A second hosel has a first end coupled to the top of the club head and a second end for rigidly holding a connecting end of a second shaft in a fixed position relative to the club head.

  • Patent number: 4140318
    Abstract: A putter golf club wherein the upstanding shaft is in a vertical plane extending transversely through the club head and the sole of the club head is forwardly and upwardly inclined at an angle of about three degrees relative to a horizontal plane extending through the club head. When the club is held with the sole resting flat on the playing surface the grip at the top of the shaft will be ahead of the striking force of the club, promoting an inside back stroke.
