Description

Putter including a replaceable striking member {PUTTER INCLUDING REPLACEABLE IMPACT MEMBER}

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a putter including a replaceable striking member.

In general, golf is a game in which a golf ball resting on a course is hit with a golf club head and put into a designated hole to determine superiority or inferiority based on the number of strokes required until then.

Golf clubs used in golf are composed of a head having a hitting surface for actually hitting a golf ball and having a hosel on one side, and a shaft having a lower end coupled to the hosel and a grip on the upper end. According to the purpose of the head, it is divided into wood, iron, and putter.

Among them, the putter is mainly used on the green of the field, and is used when putting the golf ball into a hole cup located at a relatively short distance by hitting or rolling it weakly rather than hitting it hard. Therefore, the length of the shaft is different, and the shape of the head is also various.

Since the putter is used to put a golf ball placed on the green into a hole, accuracy such as adjusting the strength of the force applied during putting (adjustment of putting speed) according to an accurate hitting point and distance is required.

Since the putter has to hit the golf ball placed on the green despite the relatively large frictional force between the golf ball and the green, the material of the putter head is a hard metal with a large specific gravity so that the impact is transmitted to the golf ball as much as possible when the golf ball is hit. The material is mainly used, and the shaft is used in various ways according to the user's preference.

Since there is a difference in feel, degree of hitting, accuracy, etc. in putting depending on the type of putter, golf players often carry several putters as needed. In this case, a lot of money is incurred to purchase the putter.

In addition, when the hitting surface of the putter head is damaged, the putter itself must be changed, resulting in high maintenance costs.

In addition, for the accuracy of putting, the golf ball must be hit at the exact position of the putter head. In particular, in the case of beginners, it is difficult to hit the golf ball at the exact position of the putter head and it is difficult to know where the golf ball is hit, so it is difficult to improve putting skills. It is difficult to raise.
