Abstract: A method of teaching and learning putting, via accurate visual feedback, and employing a putter head having a light reflective surface, a golf ball zone, a light beam generator, a beam target surface, and a local (cup) zone toward which a putter struck ball travels on a putting surface, the steps that include: locating the putter head directly behind the ball zone on the putting surface; operating the generator to direct a light beam at the putter for reflection by the putter, or by a face carried by the putter, toward the target surface to impinge thereon at an impingement locus; and swinging the putter in a manner to strike a ball at the ball zone and stroke it toward the local (cup) zone, thereby causing the impingement locus of the reflected beam to trace a detectable travel pattern providing indication as to whether or not correct putter alignment forces would be applied to a struck ball to cause it to travel to the local (cup) zone.

Abstract: A putter blade has multiple tracking grooves that extend forwardly in the blade bottom wall; also the blade has an anti-slippage groove that extends laterally in the blade bottom wall; also, the connection of the shaft to the blade, with the shaft axis passing closer to the blade toe than to the blade heel and to the rear of the blade, provides alignment advantages during stroking.

Abstract: An improved weighting system is provided in combination with a golf club head having a front face adapted to strike a golf ball, a bottom surface, a top surface, an aft surface, a toe, a heel and a hosel, the system comprising(a) a first elongated opening extending directionally between the toe and heel, angled forwardly and rearwardly, and located closer to the head bottom surface than to said top surface, and a first weight adjustably located endwise in said opening,(b) and a second elongated opening extending directionally between the toe and heel, and located closer to said top surface than to said bottom surface and a second weight adjustably located endwise in that opening.

Abstract: A golf club is provided with swing plane sensing apparatus. Light beams are projected in opposite and parallel directions lengthwise of the club shaft. The beams may be projected axially of the shaft, or outside the shaft.

Abstract: A golf club head incorporates:(a) multiple indicia of different configurations on a lower portion of the head rear side, said indicia being spaced apart in two directions and presented upwardly for viewing by the player, and(b) an alignment marker on the head above the level of said indicia and adapted to be brought into visual alignment with a selected one of said indicia in response to adjustment shifting of the player relative to the club head.
