ABSTRACT:
The Cue Putter is unique golf club, far superior in design to existing putters. It is designed to maximize a golfer's putting accuracy and consistency. The Cue Putter consists of a wooden club shaft, a guide block, rubber "O"-rings, and a transparent Plexiglas clubhead. The Cue Putter is designed to be used while kneeling on the green, with the putter's shaft aligned and used parallel to the putting surface. The Cue-Putter is gripped with one hand, and the stroke is executed primarily with the fingers and wrist instead of the arms and shoulders used with traditional putters. This improves the golfer's putting "touch" tremendously, because the innate precision of the hand and fingers cannot be matched by the larger muscle groups of the arms and shoulders. The Cue Putter also provides an ideal, "real time" view of the slope and undulation of the green, instead of a vague, "mental snapshot" taken while the golfer crouches down yards behind the ball prior to assuming his stance. This improved view significantly enhances the golfer's ability to gauge distance, while allowing the golfer to focus primarily on the target (cup) instead of the golf ball. In addition, the unique transparent clubface allows for a simultaneous view of the ball and the target (cup). The Cue Putter is also more reliable than a traditional "right-angle" putter, which incorporate a pendulum arc swing. The pendulum swing is difficult to replicate precisely from putt to putt. The Cue Putter incorporates a straight, forward stroke which can be precisely measured visually and replicated.
