Abstract
A golf putter is provided. The putter is made of a substantially large (between 25 and 45 mm diameter) parallel thin walled shaft wherein part of the bare shaft forms the grip. A protruding curved end cap forms part of the grip to assist in consistency of positioning the hands when taking a grip of the putter. A thin walled end plate closes off the shaft to the putter head all being designed to maximize “feel” when stroking the ball.
Description
- This invention relates to a golf putter club.
- The game of golf has been played for at least five hundred years. Early clubs were made entirely of wood. Gradually the materials used in clubs changed. Metal was used for heads, stainless steel, titanium and composites used for shafts. Leather spiral bound grips gave way to molded rubber and man made materials. The overall shape, however, did not change i.e. a hitting head and a small diameter tapering shaft.
- All clubs except the putter hit the ball extremely hard, so a certain amount of shaft is desirable, except in the case of the putter. In putting, which is of a gentle nature, feel is crucial.
- In my United Kingdom patent application specification No. 9720192.5 I disclosed a golf putter designed to maximize feel during the putting stroke. The present invention is a further definition of the invention disclosed in my UK patent specification No. 9720192.5. Both UK patent applications are incorporated herein in their entireties by reference.
- According to the present invention there is provided a golf putter comprising a shaft having a grip end and a head end, a putter head having a striking face, connected to the head end wherein the shaft is a substantially large cross-sectional dimension parallel shaft.
- To this end, the invention uses a thin walled, high tensile tube of a large diameter and a T shaped club head of rectangular section material. The invention comprises of a large diameter, thin walled tube connected to the T shaped club head by means of a short transition piece. Although the invention preferably comprises a circular shaft of large cross-sectional dimension, that is, diameter, the rules of Golf permit non-circular cross-sections for punter grips, hence oval and U-shaped cross sections are within the scope of the present invention. In the case of an oval shaft the substantially large cross-sectional dimension would be the major diameter and in the case of a U-shaped section it would be the dimension between the flat surface and the radiused end.
- Other objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the putter with hollow shaft and T shaped head;
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of the club head;
- FIG. 3 is a rear elevational view of the club head in the direction of arrow A to show rectangular section;
- FIG. 4 is a partially fragmented elevational view of a protruding end cap in accordance with the invention;
- FIG. 5 shows oval and U-shaped cross sections;
- FIG. 6 is a part sectional view of a further embodiment of the present invention; and
- FIG. 7 is a part sectional view of an alternative embodiment to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6;
- Referring to the drawings; the
shaft 10 is a thin walled tube of sufficiently large diameter to maximize hand feel and is made from a variety of high tensile materials such as aircraft quality aluminum, stainless steel, composite material, titanium, high performance alloy such as magnesium or lithium enhanced alloy or similar suitable material to maximize feel of the contact with the ball to be transmitted through the shaft to the hands of the player. - The
shaft 10 ends in atransition piece 12 which connects the shaft to the club head and is hollow to allow the transmission of contact. Thehollow transition piece 12 is made of a suitable material composite, aluminum titanium, alloy or high density plastic. The transition piece is a tight push fit into theputter head 13 and into the shaft viacollar 11 which is also a tight push fit. Both are positively positioned with either pin or screw. Theputter head 13 is made from a lightweight alloy suitably weighted to provide a balanced feel. The top of the shaft is finished off with a slightly proudhollow end cap 14.Shaft 10 as seen in FIG. 1 is parallel throughout its entire length and is not tapered nor stepped and comprises ahead end 15 and agrip end 16 whilstputter head 13 includes astriking face 17. - Normally a portion of the
grip end 16 would be fitted with a rubber leather grip. This putter grip would tend to absorb some of the vibrations coming up the shaft at impact and it is thought this is detrimental to maximizing feel. Accordingly in this invention aportion 18 ofshaft 10 delineated by the dotted lines, FIG. 1, forms the grip. In other words a conventional grip, per se, is dispensed with or omitted and the bare shaft is used as the grip. Accordingly in one sense it could be said a non-slip, non-shock absorbing grip is provided. It has been found that a circular carbon fibre shaft of substantially large cross-sectional dimension, that is, a diameter of between 25 and 45 nm, preferably 31 mm with a thin wall thickness of between 0.75 and 1 mm is best used in the practice of the invention. Protrudingend cap 14 exceeds the diameter ofshaft 10 by about 1.00 to 3.00 mm per side and has acurvilinear surface 22. Thecurved surface 22 is designed to fit snugly into the heel of the hand at the base of the thumb of the user's hand. This is useful in that it assists in maintaining consistency of positioning of the hands when taking grip of the putter. Also the use of a substantially larger than normal diameter shaft will assist in stabilizing the hands and fingers when gripping the putter. - In FIG. 6 there is illustrated a
connection 23 between theputter head 13 andshaft 10 which is an important part of the present invention.Connection 23 includes a thinwalled end plate 24 of between 0.75 mm and 1.5 mm thickness which bridges across and in this case closes off the end ofshaft 10. Depending fromend plate 24 is a thin walledhollow hosel member 25 which attaches to putterhead 13 and arising fromplate 24 is an upper projectingportion 26 which attaches to the inside ofshaft 10.Connection 23 may be in the form of a lightweight metal alloy casting or any of the materials mentioned with respect totransition piece 12. The thinwalled end plate 24, can, to some extent provide a “drumskin” effect, that is, form a diaphragm which will tend to enhance transmission of feel fromputter head 13 toshaft 10. FIG. 7 illustrates howconnection 27 betweenshaft 10 andhead 28 may be constructed to provide a thinwalled end plate 29, enlarged to be greater then the diameter ofshafLt 10 to increase the “drumskin” effect. In this example,connection 27 is flared thus giving a bell-mouthed effect which increases the area ofend plate 29 over the area corresponding to the area provided by the grip end shaft diameter shown in FIG. 6. In the example of FIG. 7,connection 27 forms a continuation ofshaft 10. - In order to locate the transition piece there is a deep
blind hole location 20, the position of which can be located to suit the techniques of the individual player. To meet the Ancient of the Rules of Golf as laid down by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews and the United States Golf Association, there is arecess 21 of sufficient depth rendering the rear face of the head unsuitable for play since to be legal under the above Rules a golf club may have one striking face only.
