That, my friend, is a putter. Used principally on the green, aka, the putting surface.
But like all clubs, can be used anywhere on the course.

Most likely it has very little monetary value. It's value on the green is unknown.

Wow. I'm glad those aren't popular with those trench diggers on the bottom.

that might be a patent or patent pending number on the sole...go to the USPTO and do a 'quick search'...might help.  ps i love the brass ferrule, very cool indeed

It almost looks like it was developed specifically to putt from the fringe, or even longer grass surrounding the green.....with the wave thingies helping to keep the putter head from catching in the grass.  Alternatively, they could keep the face of the putter higher off the ground, perhaps to promote a higher hit on the ball and topspin roll.

A bit different for sure......

That's what I figured also. I tried to find some information on it but didn't have any luck with a quick search.

That putter reminded me of a time when I first started playing that I seriously considered doing almost the opposite of that putter. Grinding the bottom of the leading edge round up to just below the equator of the ball so the leading edge would glide instead of grabbing when I hit a putt fat (which I was doing too often at the time). I couldn't think of any good reason it wouldn't work but thankfully my putting stroke improved before I had to resort to that.

Yeah my grandpa had that one NICE I could be wrong but the other might be an early proto or something ... There's a good chance that it was deemed non conforming due to the 'rails' extend all the way through the face . Have you taken it out to play? Looks like it might produce a little ring when you hit it :-)...I've been in golf industry for almost 30 years and have never seen it however the one person that might now is Frank Thomas...the frog is loosely similar ... Frankly golf.com good luck

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.
