Looking to Achieve that Perfect “Ping” When You Strike a Putt?

This week Karsten (makers of PING putters) had an interesting patent application publish as US Pub. No. 2008005121 titled “Acoustically Tunable Golf Club Head.” The application describes the invention as:

A golf club head includes a cantilever face member having a front surface, a fixed end and a free end. A resonating cavity is defined behind the cantilever face member so that, when the front surface of the cantilever face member impacts a golf ball, the cantilever face member oscillates in a bending mode and generates an acoustic response in the resonating cavity. One or more tines may be disposed in the resonating cavity to alter the acoustic response. The tines may be selected from a plurality of tines having different length dimensions and frequencies.

Check out these figures from the application.

 

 

I hope this putter makes it to market!
