ABSTRACT:
A golf putter is provided whose hosel is connected horizontally to the rear surface of the putter head and curves 90.degree. to vertical, attaching to a putter shaft. Two threaded pegs are set into the rear surface of the putter head, and a number of variable weights having threaded holes accommodate the threaded pegs can be interchangeably mounted onto the rear surface of the putter head in order to adjust the putter balance and weight characteristics as desired. In addition, the angle between the shaft and the vertical can be varied to any angle for either a right- or a left-handed golfer. In a first embodiment, the putter head comprises a recess in its rear surface into which the hosel is rotatably mounted and a threaded bore extending from the top surface down through to the recess. The hosel, which has holes around the circumference of its end, is placed into the recess and a threaded screw is inserted through the bore and into one of the hosel holes, thereby setting the hosel and its attached shaft at a desired angle. In another embodiment, the horizontal region of the hosel is composed of two portions joined by fitted ratchet teeth and set together at a desired angle by a threaded screw that extends horizontally through the horizontal region of the hosel. The hosel can be set so that the shaft angle may be set at no less than 10.degree. from vertical to conform with U.S. Golf Association rules and regulations.
