Interchangeable alignment system for golf putters

Abstract

An alignment system for a golf putter, having a plurality of interchangeable top plates for a putter head, wherein each of the interchangeable top plates has differing alignment indicia.

1 . An alignment system for a golf putter, comprising: 
 a plurality of interchangeable top plates for a golf putter head, wherein each of the interchangeable top plates has differing alignment indicia.    
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the indicia comprises: 
 a series of arrows in alignment with one another.    
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the indicia comprises sequential arrows spaced a uniform distance apart from one another.  
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the arrows are spaced progressively closer together.  
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the indicia comprises: 
 a series of curved lines in alignment with one another.    
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein sequential curved lines are spaced progressively closer together.  
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the indicia comprises: 
 a series of markings of which one portion is a mirror image of another portion.    
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein each portion is of equal size.  
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the differing alignment indicia include indicia having opposite color contrasts.  
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the alignment indicia convey a visual impression of a line of swing as the putter is swung.  
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the alignment indicia are dimensioned to be disposed across a substantial portion of the top of the putter head.  
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable top plates are adhesive stickers.  
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable top plates are dimensioned to be mounted in a recess in a top of a putter head.  
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable top plates are magnetically attached to the putter head.  
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 the golf putter head configured to receive the interchangeable top plates thereon.    
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the golf putter head is made of a see-though material.  
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein at least one of the interchangeable top plates is made of a see-though material, and the indicia disposed thereon are not made of a see-though material.  
     
     
         18 . A method of improving a golfer's putting, comprising: 
 providing a user with the system of  claim 1;     having the user putt with the different interchangeable top plates on the putter head;    having the user select a preferred top plate; and    having the user continue to putt with the preferred top plate on the putter head.    
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , further comprising: 
 having the user design the alignment indicia; and    having the user apply the alignment indicia to one of the interchangeable top plates    
     
     
         20 . A kit comprising: 
 the alignment system of  claim 1;  and    instructions for using the system according to method  claim 18.
