Systems and devices for controlled putting
First Claim
1. A system for putting comprising:
- a) a putter assembly with a putter substrate and a handle; and
b) a plurality of modules configured to detachably couple to the putter substrate to form a putter head, wherein at least one of the plurality of modules is an alignment module configured to indicate an alignment of the putter head with a target.

Abstract
A putting system with a putter substrate and modules that detachably couple to the putter substrate to form a putter head is disclosed. The modules detect, determine, measure and/or monitor alignment and/or tempo of the putter head. Modules include displays and/or audio outputs that provide visual and/or audio representations of the alignment and/or the tempo of the putter head. In accordance with the embodiments of the invention, the system includes a target module for generating alignment signals that are received by a positioning module with a built-in receiver unit. Preferably, the transmitter unit includes an array of infrared transmitters and the receiver unit includes an array of infrared detectors. In operation the positioning module is configured to detect, determine, measure and/or monitor angular alignment of the putter head with respect to the target module based on intensities of the alignment signals received at each of the infrared detectors. In accordance with further embodiments of the invention the system includes weight modules with a range of weights and weight balances.
