ABSTRACT:
A putter incorporating a rearwardly-facing recess having a block member to facilitate proper stroking of the ball and the follow-through of the putter head during the putting operation. The head of the golf club has a proximal heel portion, a distal toe portion, and a central portion between the two which is to be used for striking the golf ball. The golf club has a face plate which extends transversely of the club and has a front side for striking the ball and a back side. A sole plate extends rearwardly from the lower portion of the face plate and defines with the back side of the face plate a rearwardly extending recess or cavity. A block member is interposed in the rearwardly-extending recess behind the face plate and is secured to the back side of the face plate in the central portion of the club head in a configuration in which the predominant mass of the block member is at a forward location of the club head. The predominant mass of the block member occupies only a minor portion of the fore and aft cross section of the recess and is within the front triad of the recess. The shaft of the golf club is secured to the heel portion of the club head and extends upwardly to a handle portion which is displaced forwardly of the face plate. The shaft comprises a neck portion which is connected to the top of the proximal heel portion and is curved forwardly and inwardly from the proximal portion of the bulkhead and then curves back away from the club head so that the axis of the predominant shaft portion which terminates in the grip is aligned generally with the central portion of the putter head.
