Golf putter with two triangularly shaped hitting faces

Abstract

Abstract A GOLF PUTTER HEAD IS SYMMETRICAL ABOUT ITS VERTICAL CENTER PLANE AND HAS GENERALLY TRIANGULARLY SHAPED SIDE FACES, DEFINED GENERALLY BY A ROUNDED SOLE PORTION, A SLOPED TOP SURFACE, AND A HEEL AND BACK PORTION. THE INCLUDED ANGLE BETWEEN THE SHAFT AXIS AND THE TOP PORTION IS APPROXIMATELY 132*, AND THE ANGLE BETWEEN THE TOP PORTION AND A PLANE TANGENTIAL TO THE CURVED SOLE PORTION IN THE GENERAL AREA OF THE CENTER OF THE SOLE PORTION IS APPROXIMATELY 22*. THE HEEL AND TOE ARE ROUNDED. THE SIDE FACES ARE FLAT AND SLIGHTLY SLOPED TO GIVE A SLIGHT LOFTING TENDENCY TO THE BALL. THE LOCATION OF THE SHAFT AND THE SHAPE OF THE HEAD ARE SUCH AS TO GIVE GOOD RESULTS IF THE BALL IS HIT ON ALSO ANY AREA OF THE HITTING FACE, THUS MINIMIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF STRIKING THE BALL ACCURATELY WITH THE "SWEET SPOT" OF THE CLUB. THE DESIGN OF THE HEAD GIVES A BETTER PERSPECTIVE TO THE USER WHEN LOOKING DOWN FROM THE PUTTING POSITION, FACILITATES USE BY DIFFERENT PERSONS AT DIFFERENT ANGLES AND DISTANCES, ELIMINATES OR MINIMIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF A SWEET SPOT, AND TENDS TO ELIMINATE BOUNCE IN THE BALL WHEN HIT.
