Abstract: A golf club head incorporating at least one interior port adapted to receive a weighted rod which is introduced into the head and the port through an opening and cavity defined in the hosel junction. The weight and density of the rod determines the location of the head center of gravity. In one embodiment, the head includes two elongate arcuate ports adapted to receive respective elongate flexible rods adapted to conform to the shape of the port. An associated tuning package allows an individual to identify and select a recommended rod combination depending upon the desired weight and center of gravity location.

Abstract: This invention of a golf club putter head, attempts to minimize torque and wobble of the club head by placing two especially designed weights at the rear of the club head so that they are aligned with the sides of the ball. These two weights work together and impart a force to the ball on its sides as well as at its center. The result is that, there is less torque on the club head because of the disposition of the weights in the proximity of the ball and shorter torque arm leverage which minimizes the intensity of the torque. The net result is that, we have a putter head which is stable, providing positive control of the putt and which feels natural and in line, in the back swing and down swing and at impact.

Abstract: A golf putter head has a generally triangular shape where a ball-striking leading wall has a first breadth greater than a second breadth of a trailing wall. The leading wall and trailing wall are interconnected at their respective opposite ends by sidewalls that converge toward one another and define a cavity having a trapezoidal shape. The center of gravity of the golf putter head is closer to the trailing wall than the leading wall so that a moment of inertia is generated that reduces the effects of missing a sweet spot on the leading wall during a putt. In a second embodiment, the trailing wall is weighted to move the center of gravity still closer to the trailing wall. In a third embodiment, a web interconnects the leading and trailing walls along a longitudinal axis of the golf putter head, dividing the cavity into two equal-sized cavities.

The putter head is configured such that the rear weight has a width less than the width of the front body and greater than a width of the central weight. Thus, both the longitudinal and lateral moments of inertia are improved to offer greater forgiveness and increased accuracy during putts. The central weight may include at least one and more preferably two elongated, high-density elements that are visible on a top surface of the sole between the front body and the rear weight. The visibility of the elongated elements, with optional parallel markings on the top surface, also act as alignment aids to the golfer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a golf club having a golf club head with a channel on the head. The golf club head may be a putter-type club head that is used to putt the golf ball on a green. The use of the channel on the club head provides a mass distribution that can result in a high moment of inertia so that the club head resists twisting in the player's hand when the club head strikes a golf ball. The channel also assists a player in aligning the club head to strike a golf ball. The channel may be located on the upper face of the club head so that the player can see the channel when addressing a golf ball with the golf club. The channel extends from a front, strike face of the club head to a rear face of the club head and is preferably aligned with an axis that corresponds to the desired direction of travel of a golf ball that is struck with the club head.

Abstract: Current golf club putters are not adequately designed for controlled putting according to the skill of the player. They are of primitive design and create aggravating and agonizing challenges to the serious player. The player must putt like a zombie, hoping that he will not make a false motion that will divert the putt. These putters are unstable and wobble with their torque, creating unnecessary and unreasonable problems to make a good putt. This invention tries to solve these problems by providing a new concept in a putter head construction. The invention presents a putter head which embodies weights added to its front face surface and which extend forward. Briefly, this concept creates a stable back swing and a stable down swing with a leading momentum in line and pulling the ball through at impact with a smooth roll. This gives the player better control of his putting and creates a gratifying feel.

Abstract: A method of putting a golf ball includes a golfer standing erect with the head up and the body facing the hole. The golf ball is positioned to the side of the golfer on his dominant side. A uniquely designed putter is grasped in the dominant hand with the grip of the putter extending upwardly along and against the dominant arm to a position above the elbow. The upper portion of the grip and the dominant arm are grasped firmly with the non-dominant hand to provide stability and the dominant arm and club are swung smoothly in a pendulum-like motion from the shoulder of the dominant arm. The result is a smooth consistent putting swing wherein the effects of flexing elbows and twisting wrists are eliminated and, ultimately, a better putting game and lower golf score. The invention also includes an unique putter for carrying out the inventive putting technique.

Abstract: A golf putter head has a weighted heel portion and a lighter front portion, where a striking face is located. A cutout is formed in the striking face and a high-impact polymer wedge-shaped insert is fitted into this cutout. The insert serves as the hitting face of the putter head. The bottom surface of the putter head has an irregularly-shaped cutout configured to receive a metal sole plate therein. Heavier portion of the sole plate is located in the heel portion of the putter head, causing a lower center of gravity of the putter head. The bottom surface of the bottom cutout adjacent to the front portion has several openings, which receive epoxy of similar lightweight material, thereby making the front portion lighter in comparison to the heel portion. The front striking surface ahs a lower inclined portion to improve loft of the putter head.
