Golf Putter Apparatus With Floating Face Weighted Head
First Claim
1. A novel golf putter for improving the dynamic response sensed by a golfer when putting a golf ball, comprising:
- a golf club shaft, a hosel and a golf club head, said golf club head being connected to said golf club shaft at each end of said hosel;
said golf club head comprising a first strike plate and a body, said body having a cavity;
said first strike plate containing a first strike face and a protrusion, said first strike face and said protrusion being located at opposite ends of the first strike plate;
said first strike plate being connected to said body by a first set of at least one fastener such that said protrusion on said first strike plate extends into said cavity in the body, and said first strike plate does not make direct contact with said body, such that when said first strike face makes contact with said golf ball, the energy transmitted to the first strike plate will be in the direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the first strike face.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a novel golf putter having a novel head, which is made up of a strike plate, a body, and at least one connecting element. The connecting element is positioned with a spacing element so that the strike plate does not make direct contact with the body when the putter is used to strike a golf ball. As such, during the striking of the golf ball with the strike plate of the novel putter, kinetic energy is transferred from the strike plate to the body via the connecting element and the spacing element, and the energy is transferred in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the plane of the face of the strike plate.
