Abstract

A golf putter comprises a body 10 and face 11 formed from a material having a ultra lightweight to high strength ratio, such as carbon fibre reinforced resin. A weight 12 located in the body perimeter is formed from a high density material such as lead. The positioning of the weight increases the moment of inertia of the club in the horizontal plane and lowers the centre of gravity.

Description

HIGH INERTIA PUTTER GOLF CLUB READ
This invention relates to a putter golf club head.
Golf clubs are commonly designed in such a manner that the majority of material of the club head is positioned away from the area of the club face, which is designed to make impact with the golf ball.
One of the reasons for this feature is to reduce the effect of the club face angular position changing, relative to the path of the club head, due to the club face impacting the golf ball at the point not on the centre of the club face in the horizontal plane. This feature is known as the moment of inertia.
According to the present invention, there is provided a putter golf club head with a high moment of inertia in the horizontal plane and a low centre of gravity. The body and face of that head is made from ultra lightweight to high strength ratio material and a weight located in the body perimeter made from high-density material.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 shows in projection, the club head body shape: Figure 2 shows in projection, the club head face shape, Figure 3 shows in projection, the shape of the club head weight, and Figure 4 shows in projection, the illustration of the club head comprising of the body 10, the weight 12 located inside die body and the ace 11 secured to or integral with the body.
Typical material for the body 10 and face 11 could be carbon fibre reinforced resin.
Typical material for the weight 12 could be lead.
The illustrations show the components drawn to one half full size when manufactured from the materials stated herein.

Claims (2)

  1. CLAIM 1. A putter golf club head has a high moment of inertia in the
