One of the things that makes golfers so interesting is that we are always looking for that one easy fix to gain 5 more yards, hit one more fairway, save one putt per round, and on, and on, …. I am guilty of it.

It is the same mentality of many investors that always believe there is one hot stock tip out there that will make them rich beyond their wildest dreams. Unfortunately, I am also guilty of this.

Now, sure I am smart enough to realize that there is no magic piece of equipment that is going to fix my game, but you know what - it is fun looking for it that magic bullet and trying different pieces of equipment.

Recently an interesting putter patent issued that I am pretty sure is not the magic bullet for my game, but interesting nonetheless. The patent is USPN 7442131 titled “Putter Type Golf Club and a Method of Using It.” Check out the grip on this putter!







Boy, that grip and those figures remind me why I don't allow comments to be left on this blog.... they are just too ripe for a lot of easy jokes!

I suspect that this putter may have some problems getting through the USGA.
