Abstract:
A putter head is provided. The putter head includes a putter face defining a groove pattern extending in a heel-to-toe direction of the putter face. The groove pattern includes multiple sets of grooves spaced apart from one another in a vertical direction of the putter face. The sets of grooves have different cross-sectional configurations to adjust a launch angle of a golf ball based on an impact location of the golf ball along the vertical direction of the putter face.

Claim (Index 1):
A putter head, comprising:\n a putter face defining: a first set of grooves located in an upper region or a lower region of the putter face and including multiple vertically-adjacent grooves extending in a heel-to-toe direction of the putter head, each groove of the first set of grooves having a non-symmetrical cross-sectional configuration; and a second set of grooves located in a middle region of the putter face, the second set of grooves including one or more grooves extending in the heel-to-toe direction of the putter head, each groove of the second set of grooves having a symmetrical cross-sectional configuration; wherein the non-symmetrical cross-sectional configurations of the grooves of the first set of grooves gradually transition into the symmetrical cross-sectional configuration of the one or more grooves of the second set of grooves to provide a varying launch angle along a vertical direction of the first set of grooves.
