CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not Applicable STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] (1) Field of the Invention [0004] The present invention relates generally to golf putters, and more particularly to modular golf putters. Specifically, the present invention relates to a modular golf putter having variable weighting. [0005] (2) Description of the Related Art [0006] U.S. Pat. No. 4,121,832 to Ebbing discloses a variably configurable putter head having a body and a striker assembly. The striker assembly can be mounted to provide either a right handed or left handed putter configuration. Additionally, the striker assembly has a cavity for containing removable weights allowing the golfer to adjust the weight of the putter. While weights can be placed in the cavity to adjust the weight of the putter, the cavity do not allow for placement of the weights peripherally within the putter head. [0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,308,067 to Cook discloses a putter head having a frame, a face, and a heel weight and a toe weight. The heel weight and toe weight provide a high moment of inertia about the sweet spot. Preferred embodiments have over seventy percent of the weight of the head within three-quarters of an inch of the heel and toe ends. [0008] U.S. Pat. No. 5,441,274 to Clay discloses a golf club head having a capacity for housing multiple weights to establish a desired balance of the club head. The upper insert has two horizontal cross bores at equal distances from the longitudinal center of the insert for receiving weight slugs. Additionally, bores are provided in a lower insert part at locations offset at equal distances from the longitudinal center of the insert. Weight slugs can also be inserted into these bores. [0009] U.S. Pat. No. 5,863,257 to Busnardo discloses an adjustable golf putter with interchangeable face plate assemblies which provide for changing the mass of the putter. The face plate assembly can be made of plastic or can also include a metal plate encased in a resilient material. The thickness and mass of the metal plate can be adjusted to change the weight of the putter. [0010] U.S. Pat. No. 5,924,938 to Hines discloses a golf putter capable of left hand or right hand use which allows for selective weighting of the head both forward and rearward of a hosel position by the addition of face weight plates and rear weight plates on the putter head. The putter is also provided to have variable cylindrical dead weights and inertia weights. [0011] U.S. Pat. No. 6,056,647 to Tingelstad discloses a golf putter having adjustable weighting which can be used by either a right handed or left handed golfer. Four weights are provided to use in attachment points in the head which are not used for a neck extension for the shaft. [0012] U.S. Pat. No. 6,428,423 to Merko discloses a putter head having heel and toe weighting and capable of having additional weights attached to the toe and heel of the head. [0013] U.S. Pat. No. 6,485,375 to McKinley discloses a golf putter having a high center of gravity with interchangeable weight inserts for adjustment of the heel and toe weighting. The weight inserts are placed within weight chambers within the heel and toe ends of the putter. [0014] U.S. Pat. No. 6,641,487 to Hamburger discloses a putter head having a plurality of cavities which contain removable weights attached within the cavity to vary the weight characteristics of the putter head, either front-to-back or heel-to-toe. The faceplates of the putter can be selected from a variety of different types of curved or flat shaped faces. [0015] U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2002/0032075 to Vatsvog which discloses a golf putter having toe and heel cavities with weights which can be arranged to vary the front-to-back and toe-to-heel weight distribution, and the center of gravity of the putter. The putter has a plurality of differently shaped interchangeable face plates which can be convex or flat with loft angles of 3, 4 or 5 degrees. [0016] U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2002/0098908 to James et al. discloses a putter having a high inertia of rotation with a base, a striking face, and toe and heel weights. U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0132541 to Macllraith discloses a variable golf club with various head weights with different densities, dimensions and shapes for placement within the putter head. U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0171433 to Ashton discloses a golf club head constructed to have a preferred weighting and optional having weights directly behind the arm face. [0017] While the related art teach modular putter heads having weights, there still exists a need for a putter head having inserts of varying weights which are removably secured by a fastening means in the putter head along any of the toe-to-heel, front-to-back, and top-to-bottom dimensions of the putter head. OBJECTS [0018] Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a modular putter having interchangeable weights. [0019] It is further an object of the present invention to provide a modular putter having interchangeable striking surfaces. [0020] These and other objects will become increasingly apparent by reference to the following description. Continue reading about Modular putter...
