Aim-enhancing, swing-stabilizing, resonant golf putter head

Abstract

An aim-enhancing, swing-stabilizing, resonant golf putter head with central striking element, torque-resisting stabilizer, focusing element, and resonance-enhancing structure. A preferred embodiment includes the torque-resisting side stabilizer comprised as a single element, curved behind the central striking element and connecting to both the left and right side thereof, differentially massed with the majority of the mass being divided equally between the right and left sides beyond the center of balance of the central striking element. A preferred embodiment includes the torque-resisting side stabilizer which does not stay within the horizontal plane of the central striking element.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012] The primary object of the invention is improved manufacturability for an aim-enhancing, swing-stabilizing, resonant golf putter head, either by maximizing uniformity not of mass distribution within the golf putter head but of material, subordinate shapes, or external features, or by minimizing assembly complications.

[0013] Yet another object of the invention is requiring fewer separate parts during manufacturing, and reducing the costs of assembly.

[0014] Another object of the invention is reducing the risk of grounding the putter during the stroke.

Problems solved by technology

These were simple to manufacture, but little effort was made to devise and incorporate elements that assisted the golfer through basic laws of physics or human-factor engineering.

A chief problem with the original application's invention, and with the prior art (to the extent that it differentiated from the simplistic, essentially rectangular, single-piece-of-metal clubhead), was that little or no attention had been paid to the needs of manufacturability.

Certain design limits that were strictly adhered to (for example, keeping the best attainable resonance was deemed more important than limiting the number of different pieces which were part of the overall golf putter head) impeded production.
