Last week an interesting putter utility patent application published as US Pub. No. 20070135230 titled “Impact Force Dampening System for Use with a Golf Putter Head.”

The application describes the invention as:

A golf putter including an elongated handle terminating in a three-dimensional shaped putter head exhibiting a substantially smooth ball striking face. A vibration inducing component being mounted to first and second locations associated with a surface of the putter head and located opposite the ball striking face. Upon impacting a golf ball offset from a center line associated with the striking face, the vibration inducing components counteract twisting of the putter head, thereby increasing an effective surface area of the striking face creating a perpendicular travel direction of the ball relative to the putting face.

So what does all that mean? Well, check out the figures below and then form your opinion regarding this unique design concept.

Interesting?
