Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a golf putter having excellent controllability of a hit ball and capable of putting a golf ball by the feel close to the feeling when a person rolls the golf ball with a palm.SOLUTION: The golf putter includes a putter head 10, a shaft 20, and a grip 30, and the putter head 10 and the shaft 20 are connected to each other via a hosel 40. The putter head 10 comprises a head body 11 formed of a metal material such as stainless steel, aluminum, steel, titanium and brass, and a surface member 12 stuck to the outer surface of the head body 11 using adhesive, where a hitting area is formed of the surface member 12. The surface member 12 is formed by repeatedly applying a hardening agent or the like to a natural leather such as a cowskin, swine leather, horse leather, sheep leather, goat leather, deerskin, crocodile leather, snakeskin, and lizard leather, and the thickness thereof is set to 2 mm-8 mm, preferably 4 mm-6 mm.

Description

  The present invention relates to a golf putter excellent in hit ball controllability.

  Golf putters usually have a putter head made of a metal material such as stainless steel, aluminum, iron, titanium, or brass, but if the ball hitting surface of the putter head is made of a highly rigid metal material, a golf ball Since the repulsive force increases, it becomes difficult to control the hitting ball. Therefore, in order to improve the controllability of the hitting ball, a non-elastomer or synthetic resin such as an elastomer or a synthetic resin is formed on the portion corresponding to the hitting surface of the head body formed of a metal material. Golf putters having a flexible sheet made of a metal material have been proposed.

JP 2001-224716 A

  However, a flexible sheet made of an elastomer or a synthetic resin does not have sufficient physical properties as a material for forming a ball striking surface, and such a flexible sheet is used as a portion corresponding to the ball striking surface of the head body. The stuck golf putter has a problem that the controllability of the hit ball is insufficient.

  In particular, from the viewpoint of the controllability of the hit ball, it is said that it is most preferable to hit the golf ball with the feeling that a human rolls the golf ball with the palm of the hand, so that the golf ball can be hit with such a feel. It is desired.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a golf putter excellent in controllability of a hit ball, in which a golf ball can be hit with a feeling close to that of a human rolling a golf ball with a palm.

  In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 is directed to a head member, and a surface member that forms a ball striking surface by being attached to a head main body and at least a portion corresponding to the ball striking surface of the head main body. A golf putter is provided, wherein the surface member is formed of natural leather.

  As described above, in the golf putter according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the ball striking surface of the putter head is formed of natural leather, the golf ball is softly hit with a feeling close to that of a human rolling the golf ball with a palm. Therefore, the controllability of the hitting ball is improved as compared with a conventional putter head in which a hitting surface is formed by sticking a flexible sheet made of an elastomer or a synthetic resin to the head body.

(A) is a front view which shows one Embodiment of the golf putter based on this invention, (b) is a left view which shows a golf putter same as the above. (A) is sectional drawing along the XX line of FIG.1 (b), (b) is sectional drawing along the YY line of Fig.1 (a). (A) is an enlarged front view which shows the putter head of the golf putter which is other embodiment, (b) is sectional drawing along the XX line of (a).

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the golf putter 1 includes a putter head 10 having a hitting surface PF, a shaft 20, and a grip 30. The putter head 10 and the shaft 20 include a hosel 40. Connected through. The shaft 20 is made of steel, carbon / graphite resin or the like, the grip 30 is made of rubber, elastomer or the like, and the hosel 40 is made of a metal material or the like, but is not limited to these materials.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the putter head 10 has a head body 11 formed of a metal material such as stainless steel, aluminum, iron, titanium, brass, and the like, and an outer surface of the head body 11. It is comprised from the surface member 12 stuck using the adhesive agent, and the hitting surface PF is formed of the surface member 12.

  The material for forming the head main body 11 is not limited to the above-described metal material, and wood, stone, synthetic resin, or the like can also be used, and the type is also blade type, pin type, mallet type. Various types such as a neo-mallet type can be adopted.

  The surface member 12 is formed by repeatedly applying a curing agent or the like to natural leather such as cow leather, pig leather, horse leather, sheep leather, goat leather, deer leather, crocodile leather, snake leather, lizard leather, Its thickness is 2 mm to 8 mm, preferably 4 mm to 6 mm.

  In the golf putter 1 configured as described above, since the ball striking face PF of the putter head 10 is formed of natural leather, a golf ball can be softly hit with a feeling close to that of a human rolling a golf ball with a palm. In addition, the controllability of the hitting ball is improved as compared with a conventional putter head in which a hitting surface is formed by sticking a flexible sheet made of an elastomer or a synthetic resin to the head body.

  In the above-described embodiment, the outer surface of the head main body 11 is completely covered with the surface member 12, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the pattern shown in FIGS. Like the head 10A, a concave portion 11Aa may be formed in a portion corresponding to the hitting surface in the head main body 11A, and the surface member 12 may be fitted into the concave portion 11Aa.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the surface member 12 is attached to the head main bodies 11 and 11A using an adhesive. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the surface member 12 is attached using a metal fitting such as a rivet. You may make it hold | maintain to the head main bodies 11 and 11A.

  In the above-described embodiment, the head main body 11 is formed of a single material. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a lead plate or the like for adjusting the weight may be used in combination.

  Moreover, in each embodiment mentioned above, although the putter head 10 and the shaft 20 are connected via the hosel 40, it is not limited to this, A hosel is abbreviate | omitted and a shaft is directly made into a putter head. It is also possible to connect.

  Furthermore, the head main body 11 is divided into a front part having a predetermined thickness and a base part to which the front part is detachably attached, and replaced with a front part to which a surface member 12 formed of different natural leather is attached. You may be able to do that.

  The present invention can be used for a golf putter.
