ABSTRACT:
A targeting putter having improved alignment and swing compensation means is disclosed. The putter comprises a putter shaft and a putter head having a striking face, heel and toe ends, and a reflective prism mounted thereon. The reflective prism, which is a right triangle prism, is located above the striking face of the putter head, and has a concave top or front face such that a wide-angle image of the green in front of the putter head is reflected to the eye of a golfer viewing the putter head from above. Reticles on the front and top faces of the reflective prism enable the golfer to sight through the prism, across the ball and to the pin, and to align the putter head perpendicularly to the intended path. A set of rotatably adjustable swingweights are located in counterbores in the rearward face of the putter head, allowing the center of mass of the putter head to be easily shifted in both the toe-to-heel and top-to-bottom directions. Such adjustments allow for compensation of deficiencies in the golfer's stroke that tend to twist the putter head, or put too much or too little force into the swing.
