ABSTRACT:
Weight is moved essentially in three different directions within the putter head causing the center of percussion (CP) to be uniquely relocated to create overspin and no sidespin. Other related changes to head shape, face loft, shaft location and positioning of alignment mark cooperate with the above to significantly improve accuracy. The basic shape of the putter head is much revised but looks conventional since the changes are hidden under the top surface as seen by the person positioned to putt. The backspin normally expected from positive loft is eliminated and replaced with the more accurate airborne overspin. Sidespin is also eliminated, resulting in a truly straight forward turning ball that, compared to commercial putters, lifts less, covers less distance to first bounce, and gently touches down already turning in the direction hit. The ball is much quicker to settle down to a fully rolling condition against the turf. Present invention tests prove it to be at least 2 to 4 times more accurate. Present putter meets the United States Golf Association Rules of Golf.
