Patent CA-2358868-A1 (CA)
Title: Poignee pivotante pour putter
Inventor: NAUD ALBERT
IPC: A63B53/14
Filed: 2001-10-17
Abstract: Il existe actuellement sur le marché deux sortes de putter. Le premier de ty pe traditionnel et le second, ayant un manche plus long pour augmenter la précision du coup roulé. Ces deux sortes de putter offrent un coup roulé imprécis puisque  le mouvement de balancier se fait par les mains du golfeur, lesquelles ne sont pas toujours stables. Ainsi, la présente invention consiste en une poignée rajoutée au putter conventionnel, qui par son système de rotation, permet au golfeur d'avoir pl us de précision puisque ce dernier tient fermement d'une main ladite poignée de putter et de l'autre main pousse le bas du putter vers l'objectif visé, ce qui gardera obligatoirement la face de frappe du putter bien droite lors de l'exécution du coup roulé.</ SDOAB>
