ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an improved putter for use in the game of golf. The improved putter of the present invention includes a putter face defining a generally planar contact surface. Attached to the rear of the putter face is an elongate putter barrel defining a barrel axis passing through the center of the barrel aligned perpendicular to the planar contact surface. A connector is provided on the barrel to allow for connection of the putter barrel to a putter shaft. Thus, the shaft may gripped by a user in order to initiate motion of the putter face and barrel. The connector and shaft are preferably provided so that the moment of inertia about an axis passing through the center of the shaft is increased, thereby resisting rotation about the axis of the shaft. Further, in a preferred embodiment, the connector is attached to the barrel along the barrel axis so that any force transferred to the putter barrel and face through the shaft is transferred along the barrel axis, further reducing the tendency of the putter face to rotate about the shaft axis. Additionally, the shaft of the putter is angled toward the putter face which increases the tendency to accelerate the putter head through impact with the golf ball.
