Will Laser Putter Shine?
Good news all you yippers out there. If you are someone who suffers from the putting version of the y-word salvation may only be a few hundred quid away. We have come across a patent for a laser guided putter which, although it sounds like cheating, could bring those pesky scores down. Many a player has filled the spare room with all sorts of putting aides and this may be the gimmick to end all others. So sweep away your brooms, tuck in your bellies and smash up your mallets, the eagle eyed of you will all have laser putters in your bag. Now here comes the science….
“The golf putter has at least one and preferably three beams, preferably laser, projecting from the front face of the putter, spread vertically. In one embodiment, a single laser is centrally mounted, to project a beam over the top of a ball positioned at the desired impact point on the face of the putter. In another embodiment, two lasers are mounted to project parallel beams on either side of a ball positioned at the desired impact point on the face of the putter. In a preferred embodiment, there are three lasers, namely one projecting a beam over the top of the ball, and two projecting parallel beams on either side of the ball. Preferably there are two switches in the grip of the putter, with the light source(s) being powered only when both switches are pressed.”
