  • Putter head with improved alignment and stability features
    Patent number: 6080070
    Abstract: A putter head includes an aperture through which two rails extending across a bottom of the putter head can be viewed. After establishing a target line, the player first levels the rails flat on the putting surface. Then, the player looks down on the putter head and adjusts his position and aligns the putter head in such a manner that a groove on top of the putter is seen as situated/centered between the rails. A slot running parallel to the putting face of the putter head also is used to ensure that the putter head is in proper alignment. Also, the rails are substantially flat to impart additional horizontal stability and alignment to the putter head during putting.
