Description
- The present invention claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60/372,443, filed Apr. 15, 2002, entitled “Golf Putter and Method of Putting”.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to golf clubs and golfing, and, in particular, to an elongated golf putter and method of putting.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Golf is one of the most popular sports and pastimes in the world today. It is one of the few sports that attracts a wide range of players and demographics. Due to the popularity of golf, new and improved golf clubs, as well as other equipment, are continually developed in order to assist and improve the game and the player's scores, including the scores of professional, amateur and recreational players. Golf clubs are particularly subject to research and development and are the most important equipment components in the game.
- One of the most important aspects of the game of golf is the “putting game.” Using a golf putter, a player strikes the golf ball, typically when it is located on or near the golf green toward and preferably into the hole. As putting is a critical aspect of the game, many different golf putters have been developed. For example, putters have been developed with various shapes and designs, which attempt to assist a user in his or her putting stroke. For example, see U.S. Pat. Nos.: 5,328,185 to Finnigan et al.; 5,465,971 to Tischler; 5,520,392 to Foresi et al.; 6,123,625 to Koblentz; 6,190,266 to Pamias; and 6,283,874 to Studebaker. Further, certain shaft modifications and putting training devices have been developed, also to assist the user in putting. For example, see U.S. Pat. Nos.: 5,156,401 to Hodgkiss; 5,308,071 to Lewis; and 5,342,055 to Diley. Finally, in order to increase stability, putters have been developed with elongated and substantially straight shafts, together with methods of using these putters. For example, see U.S. Pat. Nos.: 1,967,355 to Edwards; 3,524,646 to Wheeler; 4,163,554 to Bernhardt; 5,024,438 to Candow; 5,029,860 to Ehrich; 5,083,779 to Ungermann; 5,127,650 to Schneller; 5,209,474 to Voyer; 5,282,619 to Napolitano et al.; 5,649,870 to Harrison; 5,653,644 to Jaeckel; 5,947,837 to Perry; 5,961,399 to Boyle; 6,039,657 to Gidney; and 6,048,275 to Gedeon.
- While prior art golf putters may provide some assistance in maintaining a consistent putting stroke, increasing accuracy and increasing putting consistency, there remains considerable room in the art for further improvement in golf putters and methods of putting. For example, consistency in one's putting stroke is important, such that the only remaining variable when putting is the slope, distance and grain of the putting surface. Therefore, increased consistency will lead to increased accuracy, an improved putting stroke, and a lower score.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf putter and method of putting which overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art. It is another object of the present invention to provide a golf putter and method of putting that improves a golfer's putting stroke consistency. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a golf putter and a method of putting that lead to increased accuracy and stability of stroke.
- The present invention is directed to a golf putter, including an elongated shaft having a first end, a second end and an intermediate portion having a neck engaging portion. The golf putter also includes a putter head element, which has a top portion with a head portion and a hosel or butt portion, and the first end of the shaft is attached to and extends from the top portion. The putter head element includes a bottom portion, as well as a putting face for contacting the golf ball. Typically, a pliant padding element, in the form of a grip or other pad surrounds a portion of the shaft. The elongated shaft is sized to extend at least adjacent a user's neck area, such that the neck engaging portion contacts the user's neck.
- The present invention is also directed to a method of putting a golf ball, including the steps of: (a) providing a golf putter with an elongated shaft having a putter head element attached to an end of the elongated shaft; (b) placing a portion of the elongated shaft against a user's shoulder area and adjacent and in contact with a user's neck; (c) moving the golf putter in a pendulum swing pattern, with a portion of the elongated shaft adjacent the user's neck acting as a fulcrum; and (d) striking the golf ball with the putter head element.
- The present invention, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with the additional objects and advantages thereof, will best be understood from the following description of exemplary embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a golf putter according to the present invention; and

- For purposes of the description hereinafter, the terms “upper” “lower”, “right”, “left ”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom” and derivatives thereof shall relate to the invention as it is oriented in the drawing figures. However, it is to be understood that the invention may assume various alternative variations and step sequences, except where expressly specified to the contrary. It is also to be understood that the specific devices and processes illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification, are simply exemplary embodiments of the invention. Hence, specific dimensions and other physical characteristics related to the embodiments disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting.
- Various numerical ranges are disclosed in this patent application. Because these ranges are continuous, they include every value between the minimum and maximum values. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, the various numerical ranges specified in this application are approximations.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a
golf putter 10 according to the present invention. Thisgolf putter 10 includes anelongated shaft 12 having an elongated shaftfirst end 14, an elongated shaftsecond end 16, and a length a. Further, thiselongated shaft 12 includes an elongated shaftintermediate portion 18, which includes aneck engaging portion 20. - Located on the elongated shaft
first end 14 and attached thereto, is aputter head element 22. Thisputter head element 22 has atop portion 24 having ahead portion 26 and ahosel portion 28. Specifically, the elongated shaftfirst end 14 is attached to thetop portion 24 of theputter head element 22 and extends away from thistop portion 24. Theputter head element 22 also includes abottom portion 30 and aputting face 32. The puttingface 32 is used to contact agolf ball 40 in order to direct thegolf ball 40 towards the hole on the green. The elongated shaftfirst end 14 is connected to thetop portion 24 of theputter head element 22 in a conventional manner and using techniques well known in the art. For example, the elongated shaftfirst end 14 can be welded to thetop portion 24, or, the elongated shaftfirst end 14 can be adapted to frictionally fit a hosel on thehosel portion 28 and welding, adhesive, bonding or other fixation means used to permanently attach the elongated shaftfirst end 14 with theputter head element 22. - As shown in FIG. 2, the
elongated shaft 12 is sized such that it extends at least adjacent to aneck 34 of auser 36. Specifically, theneck engaging portion 20 is adapted to contact the user'sneck 34, while the user'shands 38 grip theelongated shaft 12 on the elongated shaftintermediate portion 18. The combination of the user's grip on the elongated shaftintermediate portion 18 and the contact between theneck engaging portion 20 and the user'sneck 34 provides a steadier hold on thegolf putter 10. - In operation, as seen in FIG. 2, after the
user 36 grips the elongated shaftintermediate portion 18 and places theneck engaging portion 20 in contact with his or herneck 34, theuser 36 moves the elongated shaftintermediate portion 18 away from thegolf ball 40 using a pendulum swing pattern, but maintaining contact between theneck engaging portion 20 and the user'sneck 34. This pendulum swing pattern results in theneck engaging portion 20/neck 34 interface acting as a fulcrum or pivot point. - After the
user 36 has moved theputter head element 22 away from thegolf ball 40 by moving the elongated shaftintermediate portion 18, theuser 36 then moves theputter head element 22 towards thegolf ball 40, such that the puttingface 32 of theputter head element 22 contacts thegolf ball 40, moving it in the desired direction. It is the use of theelongated shaft 12, together with the engagement of the user'sneck 34 by theneck engaging portion 20, that provides stability, and therefore, consistency, in the user's putting stroke. - In order to provide the
user 36 with a better grip between his or herhands 38 and theelongated shaft 12, it is envisioned that apliant padding element 42 be utilized. Thispliant padding element 42 is located on the elongated shaftintermediate portion 18 at a position that corresponds with a typical user's grip location. A secondpliant padding element 44 may also extend at or near theneck engaging portion 20, providing theuser 36 with a guide and non-visual (touch) feel for the positioning of thegolf putter 10. Alternatively, a one piece pliant padding may extend from the elongated shaftintermediate portion 18 at a position that corresponds with a typical user's grip location to the elongated shaftsecond end 16. The firstpliant padding element 42 and the secondpliant padding element 44 can be manufactured from a variety of materials. For example, materials of manufacture may include rubber, foam, leather, polymer, plastic, padding material, etc. Further, one or both of the firstpliant padding element 42 and the secondpliant padding element 44 can be constructed from multiple layers, such as a first padding layer surrounded by a leather grip. - Depending upon the height of the
user 36, it is envisioned that theshaft 12 length a may be 58 inches for atypical user 36. However, the length a would vary according to the height of theuser 36. For example, it is also envisioned that multiple and different sized golf putters 10 could be offered (58 inch, 63 inch, 68 inch, etc.). Theelongated shaft 12 length a may be in the range of about 36 inches to about 80 inches, as long as theneck engaging portion 20 is appropriately positioned by the user. - In the preferred embodiment, the elongated shaft
first end 14 is attached to thehosel portion 28 of theputter head element 22 and may have any range of lie angles. For example, theelongated shaft 12 may have a lie angle of 83°, with respect to the flat surface upon which thebottom portion 30 of theputter head element 22 rests. However, any lie angle is envisioned, for example the lie angle may be in the range of about 80° to about 90° with respect to the flat surface upon which thebottom portion 30 of theputter head element 22 rests. - The present invention is also directed to a method of putting a golf ball. As seen in FIG. 2, the
user 36 grips thepliant padding element 42 with his or herhands 38 and places theneck engaging portion 20 of theelongated shaft 12 against his or herneck 34. - Once in position, the
user 36 moves theputter head element 22 away from thegolf ball 40 by moving thepliant padding element 42 away from thegolf ball 40, while continuing to keep theneck engaging portion 20 in contact with the user'sneck 34. This necessarily results in a pendulum swing pattern, with theneck engaging portion 20 acting as a fulcrum or pivot point for the user's movement. After theuser 36 has moved theputter head element 22 the desired distance from thegolf ball 40, theuser 36 then moves theputter head element 22 towards thegolf ball 40, thereby striking thegolf ball 40 towards a target area, such as a golf cup. - The
golf putter 10 and method of putting of the present invention provides extra stability for a golfer's putting stroke. Thegolf putter 10 and method of putting therefore increases accuracy and consistency in the golfer's putting game. Further, thegolf putter 10 is necessarily sized and shaped to appropriately and adequately accommodate the varying heights of the golfer. - This invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. Obvious modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the preceding detailed description. It is intended that the invention be construed as including all such modifications and alterations.
