Frame design putter head with rear mounted shaft
First Claim
1. A golf putter head comprising:
- at least two distinct elongated connecting rods of predetermined thickness, shape and length, said rods extending parallel to each other;
at least one elongated plate of predetermined thickness, shape and length, said plate extending perpendicular to said connecting rods; and
at least one back weight element of predetermined thickness, shape and length; and
at least one shaft mounting rod of predetermined thickness, shape and length extending parallel to said connecting rods and perpendicular to said elongated plate and said backweight element; and
at least two fastening elements fixedly coupling said connecting rods between said plate and said back weight element, said connecting rods being spaced approximately the width of a golf ball diameter whereby the gap between said connecting rods creates relational sight lines; and
at least one fastening element fixedly coupling said shaft mounting rod to said back weight element, the free end of said shaft mounting rod being spaced approximately the thickness of said elongated plate from said elongated plate whereby the gap allows for an uncluttered relational sight area.

Abstract
A golf putter head design comprising a front face (10) and a back weight (20) sandwiching multiple longitudinal rods (14, 16) and with a center shaft mounting rod (18) attached to the back weight (20) to form a frame design where the vertical gaps in the putter head are spaced the width of the golf ball to facilitate alignment at setup and the shaft mounting rod (18) is spaced back from the face (10) to form an additional alignment and stroke aiding sight area. The putter head design takes advantage of: embodied and relational sight lines; an uncluttered center sight line and sight area; peripheral rods (14, 16) that are hollow to reduce their density such that weight can be optimally located in the back weight (20); a back weight providing a high percentage of the putter head weight significantly behind the face (10) and below the center line of the face (10); an option for a pivotable shaft; an option for interchangeable face (10), connecting rod (14, 16), shaft connecting rod (18) and back weight (20) elements.
