Abstract:

A golf club includes a club head having two body members and a hosel. Each of the two body members has a planar striking face, and the two faces determine an angle of 90. degree. Each of the two body members also has a bath surface which is grooved to reduce weight. The hosel joins the body members near the vertex of the 90. degree. angle. A club shaft is inserted into the hosel. Indicia are formed on the upper surfaces of each of the body members which are parallel to a bisector of the 90. degree. degree cycle to aid in aligning the club with the golf ball and the cup into which the ball is to be putted. Tuned resonators are mounted on each of the body members opposite the point on each striking face where the striking faces are tangent to a golf ball touching both faces. The resonators produce audible sounds, which are a function of how the club head strikes a golf ball.
