As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Improved Golf Putter we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.

The Improved Golf Putter will prevent backspin on the golfball. The putter head has identical oppositely opposed club faces wherein each is divided into an upper vertical facing member and a lower oblique facing member. The upper vertical facing member is situated within a parallel vertical planar surface as the shaft of the club and is of a distance from the ground that would permit contact only with the golfball on the upper half, thereby increasing the distance the ball will travel with minimal effort. The lower oblique facing member recedes from the upper vertical facing member at an angle which prevents contact with the golfball, thereby eliminating reverse spin.

Objects of the present invention:

Now for the first time this unique product is available for millions of potential users. The low manufacturing cost is of major importance.

FIGURE 1

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the present invention in use. Shown is the improved putter having identical oppositely opposed facing members comprised of an upper vertical facing member and a lower oblique facing member. The upper vertical facing member being situated within the vertical planar surface of the club shaft and a lower oblique facing member which recedes from the upper vertical facing member at an angle which prevents contact with the golfball, thereby eliminating reverse spin.

FIGURE 2

Figure 2 is an enlarged front elevational view, taken from Figure 1 as indicated, of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Shown is a putter having identical oppositely opposed facing members comprised of upper vertical facing members and lower oblique facing members. The lower oblique facing member recedes from the upper vertical facing member at an angle which prevents contact with the golfball, thereby eliminating reverse spin. Also shown is a golf ball with a shaded area which represents the optimum contact area with the golf putter head.

FIGURE 2a

Figure 2a is another enlarged front elevation view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Shown is a club face being equal to a height "A". The club height "A":being comprised of the upper vertical facing member and lower oblique facing member whose point of juncture is basically equal to the horizontal planar surface of the sphere, being comprised of a lower half of the golfball, shown by the letter "C" and the letter "B" comprising the upper and the letter "E". The circumferential area marked by the letter "D" denotes the optimal area for the club ball contact.

FIGURE 7

Figure 7 is a front elevation view, of the alternate embodiment of the invention. Shown is a putter having identical oppositely opposed facing members comprised of upper vertical facing members and lower oblique facing members. The lower oblique facing member recedes from the upper vertical facing member at an angle which prevents contact with the golfball, thereby eliminating reverse spin. Also shown is a golf ball with a shaded area which represents the optimum contact area with the golf putter head. In addition the vertical facing members have channels machined into the upper edge of the clubface whereby a golfer can selectively position a weight on either proximal or distal ends.
