ABSTRACT:
A golf putter having an elongated shaft defining a medial stabilization portion and an upper stabilization portion. During putting, the medial stabilization portion is received in the crook of a golfer's arm, and the upper stabilization portion contacts the outer surfaces of the golfer's upper arm. A club head is attached to an end of the elongated shaft by an offset connector, which offsets the club head laterally from the end of the elongated shaft. The offset connector also disposes the elongated shaft both at an angle towards a putting face defined in the club head and at an angle towards the heel of the club head. A method of putting using the putter constructed in accordance with the present invention is also disclosed, wherein the elongated shaft is held in a generally conventional putting grip while the medial stabilization portion is received in the crook of the golfer's arm, and while the upper stabilization portion contacts the outer portion of the upper arm. By putting in such a method using the elongated putter, the golfer's wrists and leading arm are restrained from flexing and bending, thereby allowing for improved putting consistency.
