Abstract: A device for teaching the proper stroke of putting in the game of golf with the attendant muscle memory. The device consists of a stand which may be set on the floor of a den, living room, office, or the like, or on a putting green; and it includes a pair of spaced and parallel bars which are supported up from the surface of the floor or green on either side of the path the ball must take to be putted into the hole. A pair of bushings are respectively supported on the bars to be slidable along the bars, and a bracket is pivotally mounted to the bushings and extends across the device from one of the bushings to the other. A putter may be clamped to the bracket at any desired angle, and when grasped is caused to move through the correct putting stroke. The putter may be used with or without a ball, and it is repeatedly and frequently moved in the device by the person, until the proper putting stroke becomes natural, comfortable, and automatic.

Abstract: A golf club of the type designated a wood is provided whose head has an index tooling hole therein to which all coordinates relating to the shape of the head are referenced. During construction, the head is first placed in a tooling hole drill jig and a precisely located tooling hole is drilled in the head of a predetermined inclination and depth. A tooling jig is also provided which is constructed to hold the head during its shaping operations in a position established by a dowel pin which extends through a hole in the jig and into the aforesaid tooling hole in the head. The head is further provided with an insert plate in its front face and a sole plate in its bottom surface, the two plates being dovetailed with respect to the head and inter-locking with respect to one another so as to obviate any requirements for screws or other fastening devices.
