MULTI-COMPONENT PUTTER |
(57) Embodiments of multi-component putters comprising an upper portion and a lower portion
are described herein. The upper portion is formed from a first material having a first
density and the lower portion is formed from a second material having a second density.
The first density is less than the second density. The upper portion is affixed to
the lower portion via an adhesive or a combination of adhesives and interlocking geometry.
The multi-component putter design provides increased forgiveness and moment of inertia
compared to a putter formed from a single material.
