Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved golf club with line markings on the head of the putter that facilitate a precise and accurate motion of the club. One of these markings, the aiming line, runs parallel to the club face across the top of the club and is intended to assist the golfer in aiming and placement of the club head. The other markings, the guide lines, run perpendicular to the club face across the top of the club and are intended to guide the path of the subsequent motion of the club to hit a golf ball.

Claims

1. A putter with line markings that facilitate aiming the putter head motion toward a target, said putter comprising:

a club head; and

a plurality of line markings on the top of the club head.

2. The putter according to claim 1, wherein one of the line markings on said club head runs parallel to the face.

3. The putter according to claim 1, wherein two of the line markings on said club head run perpendicular to the club face and are spaced the width of a regulation golf ball.

4. The putter according to claim 1, wherein there are three of the line markings on said club head, the outer two of these line markings being spaced the width of a regulation golf ball and the center line marking spaced equidistant between them.

5. The putter according to claim 1, wherein said club head contains an extension that extends one or more of the line markings.

6. The putter according to claim 1, wherein said club head contains an extension that extends one or more of the line markings that are perpendicular to the club face.

7. The putter according to claim 1, wherein said club head contains a detachable extension that extends one or more of the line markings.

8. The putter according to claim 1, wherein said club head contains a detachable extension that extends one or more of the line markings that are perpendicular to the club face.

9. The putter according to claim 1, wherein said club head is designed with a heel angle to facilitate a linear golf motion similar to a piston when swinging the putter.

10. A putter with line markings that facilitate aiming the putter head motion toward a target, said putter comprising:

a club head; and

a plurality of line markings on the top of the club head, comprising one line marking running parallel to the club face and three line markings running perpendicular to the club face, the outer two of these line markings being spaced the width of a regulation golf ball and the center line marking spaced equidistant between them.

14. The putter according to claim 10, wherein said club head contains an extension that extends one or more of the line markings.

15. The putter according to claim 10, wherein said club head contains an extension that extends one or more of the line markings that are perpendicular to the club face.

16. The putter according to claim 10, wherein said club head contains a detachable extension that extends one or more of the line markings.

17. The putter according to claim 10, wherein said club head contains a detachable extension that extends one or more of the line markings that are perpendicular to the club face.

18. The putter according to claim 10, wherein said club head is designed with a heel angle to facilitate a linear golf motion similar to a piston when swinging the putter.
