Abstract

The Fox Sharpshooter Putter grip is a putter grip which contains three unique and innovative features. These features are the subject of this patent application.
The first feature is a level bubble vial (bubble) imbedded in the back of the grip to aid the golfer to determine the degree of slope of the putting surface. The second feature is a vertical chart (sight) on the back of the grip to help the golfer determine the length of the putt. The third feature is a level bubble vial imbedded in the side of the grip (level) to help the golfer determine the slope of the putting surface.
The aim of the applicant is to patent these three aforementioned putter grip features.

Description

  • The Fox Sharpshooter Putter Grip is a golf club putter grip that has three innovative features which will be named in this application; A) the bubble, B) the sight, and C) the level.
  • 1) The bubble is a level bubble vial built into the back of the grip which enables the golfer to hold the grip perpendicular to the ground. The level bubble vial is depicted in FIG. 1 of the drawing page (pg. 12), two inches from the top of the grip. FIG. 1 illustrates the back of the sharpshooter putter grip.
  • 2) The sight is an indented painted chart in the back of the putter grip which enables the golfer to assess the distance from the ball to the target. The sight is depicted on p. 12; FIG. 1 as an inverted ladder shaped chart.
  • 3) The level is a bubble vial built into the left side of the grip which allows the golfer to assess the slope of the putting surface. The level is shown in FIG. 4 which illustrates the left side of the sharpshooter putter grip. The right side of the grip is shown on p. 12; FIG. 3, and the unpainted front side is shown on p. 12; FIG. 2. The actual length of the sharpshooter putter grip is 11″.

Claims (3)

1) The first claim is the use of a level bubble (bubble) in the back of the golf grip to aid in predicting, the direction of the roll of the ball.
2) The second claim is a chart (sight) on the back of the grip which visually measures the distance of the putt.
3) The third claim is a level bubble (level) on the side of the grip which determines the slope of the putting surface.
