Abstract

A golf putter comprised of a shaft having an axis, a hosel attached to the shaft and a head attached to the hosel. The head of the putter has a face, a top and a sole. The face of the putter is comprised of multiple facets with a degree of static loft measured from the plane of the facet to the axis of the shaft. It is preferable that there are at least four facets on the face of the putter. The first facet is proximate to the sole of the face and has a first static loft angle. The second facet is above and abuts the first facet and has a second static loft angle which is greater than the first static loft angle. The third facet abutting and above the second facet has a third static loft angle which is greater than the second static loft angle. The fourth facet abuts and is above the third facet and has a fourth static loft angle which is greater than the third static loft angle. It is preferable that the static loft angles of said at least four facets differ by only 1 degree between abutting facets.

Claims (40)

1. A golf putter for imparting launch to a golf ball at a particular launch angle, said putter comprising:

a. a shaft having an axis;

b. a hosel attached to said shaft;

c. a head attached to said hosel;

d. wherein said head has a face, a top and a sole;

e. wherein said face of said head has multiple facets;

f. wherein said multiple facets are vertically displaced along said face of said putter;

g. wherein each of said multiple facets of said face have a static loft angle defined by the plane of said facet and said axis of said shaft;

h. wherein said static loft angles of said multiple facets is less at said sole of said face and greater at said top of said face;

i. wherein said face has at least four facets; and

j. wherein said at least four facets each have a static loft angle, wherein said static loft angles of said at least four facets differ by only 1 degree between abutting facets.

2. A golf putter for imparting launch to a golf ball at a particular launch angle, said putter comprising:

a. a shaft having an axis;

b. a hosel attached to said shaft;

c. a head attached to said hosel;

d. wherein said head has a face, a top and a sole;

e. wherein said face of said head has multiple facets;

f. wherein said multiple facets are vertically displaced along said face of said putter;

g. wherein each of said multiple facets of said face have a static loft angle defined by the plane of said facet and said axis of said shaft;

h. wherein said static loft angles of said multiple facets is less at said sole of said face and greater at said top of said face;

i. wherein said face has at least four facets;

j. wherein said at least four facets have static loft angles such that;

i. a first facet is closest to the sole of said head and has a first static loft angle;

ii. a second facet meets and extends above said first facet and has a second static loft angle that is 1 degree less than said first static loft angle;

iii. a third facet meets and extends above said second facet and has a third static loft angle that is 1 degree less than said second static loft angle; and

iv. a fourth facet meets and extends above said third face and has a fourth static loft angle that is 1 degree less than said third static loft angle.

3. The golf putter of claim 2 , wherein said hosel can be adjusted to modify the orientation of said face in respect to said axis of said shaft.

4. A golf putter for imparting launch to a golf ball, said putter comprising:

a. a shaft having an axis;

b. a hosel attached to said shaft;

c. a head attached to said hosel;

d. wherein said head has a face, a top and a sole;

e. wherein said face of said head has at least four facets, comprising:

i. a first facet having a first static loft angle;

ii. a second facet abutting said first facet having a second static loft angle;

iii. a third facet abutting said second facet having a third static loft angle;

iv. a fourth facet abutting said third facet having a fourth static loft angle;

f. wherein said static loft angles of said at least four facets is less at said sole of said face and greater at said top of said face; and

g. wherein said static loft angles of said at least four facets differ by only 1 degree between abutting facets.

5. The golf putter of claim 4 , wherein said hosel can be adjusted to modify the orientation of said face in respect to said axis of said shaft.
