Methods, apparatus, and systems to identify address position of golf club heads

Golf putter head

A correlated set of golf clubs the heads of which each have a top ridge that extends longitudinally along the upper part of the head between the heel and toe ends thereof with enlarged mass concentrations being formed to provide upper protuberances at the heel and toe ends of the ridge. The top ridge and the upper heel and toe protuberances are especially configured to locate mass concentrations high on the heads and set back from the striking faces thereof to provide the club heads with an improved ability to resist twisting of the club heads upon laterally off-center impacts with a golf ball and to resist tilting of the club heads upon vertically off-center impacts with a golf ball.

Putter grip

A putter is provided with concentrations of mass in the toe and heel portions, and the putter head is otherwise configured so that its center of gravity is approximately midway between the toe and heel of the putter head. Maximum stability within practical constraints is achieved by an especially configured hosel which slants upwardly and forwardly from proximate the heel of the putter head and positions the putter shaft so that its longitudinal axis intersects an imaginary line at a point forward of the face of the putter with the imaginary line being normal to the face of the putter and passing through the center of gravity thereof.
