Golf putter head with adjustable hosel
First Claim
1. An adjustable golf putter head assembly, comprising:
- a putter head including a forward ball striking surface formed substantially along a ball striking plane, a bottom sole surface, and a rearwardly facing back surface;
wherein the putter head further includes opposed toe and heel ends between which said forward ball striking surface, bottom sole surface and back surface extend;
a hosel including a first end for attachment to the putter head, and a second end for attachment to a club shaft;
a pivot connection including a substantially cylindrical mortise and tenon on the putter head back surface and the first end of the hosel interconnecting the hosel and putter head at a location on the putter head substantially midway between the toe and heel ends, for selective pivot adjustment of the hosel relative to the putter head about a first axis substantially normal to the ball striking plane; and
an interlock component joining the first end of the hosel and putter head at the pivot connection to affix the putter head and hosel together in a selected angular relationship about said first axis.

Abstract
An adjustable golf putter head assembly is described including a putter head and an adjustable hosel for connecting the head to a putter shaft. The putter head includes a forward ball striking surface formed substantially along a ball striking plane, a bottom sole surface, and a rearwardly facing back surface. The putter head further includes opposed toe and heel ends between which said forward ball striking surface, bottom sole surface and back surface extend. The hosel is of a goose neck configuration, and includes a first end for attachment to the putter head, and a second end for attachment to a club shaft. A pivot connection on the putter head back surface and the first end of the hosel interconnects the hosel and putter head at a location on the putter head substantially midway between the toe and heel ends, for selective pivot adjustment of the hosel relative to the putter head about a first axis substantially normal to the ball striking plane. An interlock component such as an epoxy adhesive joins the first end of the hosel and putter head within the pivot connection to affix the putter head and hosel together after initial adjustment in a selected angular relationship about the axis. The club head is substantially symmetrical to facilitate constant balance and afford adjustment for left or right handed golfers.
