Abstract

An adjustable heel and toe weighted putter head (50) comprising of stand-alone heel and toe weight-carrying portions (2a, 2b) spaced rearward from the face portion (7) for increased moment of inertia and also transversly spaced apart from each other by the width of a golf ball to therein define an alignment channel (13). Each weight-carrying portion consists of a through bore (1 Ia, 1 IB) parallel to the face portion, a through threaded insert (4a, 4b) permanently secured in the bore, selectable weight member(s) (10a, 10aa, 10b, 10bb) housed in the insert, and end plug setscrews (3a, 3aa, 3b, 3bb) that book-end and removably secures the weight member(s) therein to provide for selectable total weight and longitudinal positioning of the center of gravity. The integration of the weight system and the alignment system provides for simultaneous tangential target alignment and parallax golfer head alignment. Positve sloped truncated conical projections (67) on the putter face help minimize ball skid, maximize tactile properties, and provide enhanced audio feedback.
