ABSTRACT:
A golf club putter having an elongated shaft that is used in a manner that insures a golfer putts with a pendulum type stroke, as recommended by many Professional Golf Association teaching professionals. The elongated putter consists of two tapered shaft sections where a smaller lower section can collapse inside a larger upper section, a putter head affixed to the bottom end of the lower section, a elongated grip extending down from the top of the upper shaft section and a 30 degree bend at the bottom of the lower shaft section for proper alignment of the putter head when the golf club is held in position for putting. During putting, the elongated putter is positioned with the upper end of the shaft in the golfer's forward arm pit, or, for taller players, up under the forward arm against the side of the chest. The golfer's hands are positioned on the grip in the middle of the shaft to guide the putter along a line that will direct a ball towards the hole. The unique method of putting combined with the golf club putter described by the invention enables a golfer to utilize the large muscles of the shoulders and arms for improved consistency and control while improving accuracy by minimizing movement caused by the smaller muscles of the wrists and hands.
