ABSTRACT:
A golf putter providing improved control of distance and direction of a golf ball impacted by the putter includes a resilient insert having a controlled rebound factor fitted into a wedge-shaped recess provided in the face of the putter head. The insert includes a front rebound control pad made of a resilient polymer material, and a rear backing plate releasably fastenable to the putter head. Intrinsic resiliency, thickness and hardness of the pad are chosen to yield in combination with the putter head body an overall, composite ball-impacting rebound factor that may be varied over a relatively wide range of rebound factors, which determine in a substantially linear way the roll distance of a ball impacted by the putter. The insert may be readily interchanged by a golfer with other inserts which provide higher or lower rebound factors, which may be chosen on days in which greens were slower or faster, respectively. Optionally, the hardness of an insert may be varied somewhat independently from rebound factor, thus achieving a desired ball-impacting feel as well as selected rebound factor.
