Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a golfer to hit a ball in the air by the back face of a putter similarly to an iron club by making the front face of the putter into an almost vertical putter hitting face and the back face in an inclined iron club face. SOLUTION: A golf player has to sometimes inevitably hit a golf ball from the inverse side caused by a mis-shot, etc., i.e., a right-hander is forced to hit the ball in the left-hander position and vice versa. To solve such a problem, the front face 1a of a putter head 1 is made a putter face into an almost vertical putter hitting face and the back face 1b into an iron club head hitting face equipped with parallel grooves. The iron club head hitting face is formed into an inclined face to set the loft angle into a suitable one. Thus the putter back face 1a can be used similarly to an iron club head face to raise the ball by hitting.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a golf club,
Especially regarding putters.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various types of putters mainly used on greens of golf courses. A so-called cash-in type putter (accinet putter) is one of them. This putter has both sides of the putter head,
That is, in some cases, both the front face and the back face form a substantially vertical surface for putting. The back face of another type of putter has a shape consisting of various elaborate designs.

[0003]

During golf play, even a right-handed player cannot take a stance due to a tree or a water hazard depending on the position of the hit ball.
You encounter a situation where you have to make a left. Right-handed players usually do not have a left-handed club, so if you are going to make a left-handed use, you may use a right-handed club irregularly or, depending on the lie of the ball, putters you may have. Fortunately, in the case of the cash-in type, the ball is hit on the back face. It is extremely difficult to launch a ball with a putter in which both the front face and the back face form a substantially vertical surface for putting, as well as putters of various types on the back face. Therefore, as described above,
Even when the ball is hit with the back face of the putter, the ball must be rolled and directed in a desired direction.

[0004]

In the present invention, the front face of the putter is a putter hitting surface which forms a substantially vertical surface, and the back face is an inclined iron hitting surface.

[0005]

According to the present invention, since the putter's back face has an inclined iron hitting spherical surface, the ball is hit in the opposite direction, that is, in the case of a right-handed player, due to a miss shot or the like during play. In the case of a left-handed or left-handed player, the player has to make a right-handed hit, and can use the putter's back face to make a shot that raises the ball, similar to an iron club.

[0006]

1 shows a putter head for a right-handed player. The front face 1a of the putter head 1 is a putter striking spherical surface that forms a substantially vertical surface, and the back face 1b forms an iron striking spherical surface having a parallel groove 2 provided on the surface. The iron striking surface is an inclined surface, and its loft angle is set to an appropriate value. Reference numeral 3 indicates a shaft.
