SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: 1. Application to a golf putter, rather than to a golf club. The use of tensioned wires for putting is a practical application since the striking forces required for putting are within the limits of stress of modern materials of construction.
2. Wire striking face on two sides to permit either right- or left-hand use.
3. Wires are placed to allow free vibration and therefore provide a musical tone after striking the ball.
4. A workable method of attaching and anchoring the wire ends in the putter body.
5. A natural shape of the putter to accommodate wires and deflection space which provides a high moment of inertia to rotation.
6. A single length of wire wrapped such that the stresses can equalize over all passes and therefore provide a constant resistance to deflection and a common musical tone. Wire faced golf putter Patent number: 5316304 Abstract:
This invention is the application of a tensioned wire striking surface to a golf putter. The wire is placed such that several turns form a flat plane over a concave portion on each side of the putter. Positioning and anchoring grooves on each end of the putter receive the wire and assure uniform tension and resultant musical tone. The putter is not adjustable, but is fixed in position. The shape of the structural and weight member is such that a high moment of inertia to rotation is achieved. The invention is an improvement over an earlier invention describing the application of tensioned wire striking surfaces to golf clubs, not including putters. Type:
