  • Golf putter including tuning fork effects
    Patent number: 5160144
    Abstract: The present invention is a golf putter having a putter head which is vertically sliced from the sole all the way into the neck to form first and second opposing portions. Those portions produce tuning fork effects which are shaft vibrations and the corresponding tone. A golfer using the touch and sound can develop a reproducible and therefore more accurate putting stroke. Additionally, the tuning fork configuration allows putter head flexing which imparts extra velocity to the golf ball.
