ABSTRACT:
A golfing putter for putting in a modified croquet style includes an elongated shaft having an upper grip portion and a lower grip portion and a putter head at the lower end having a striking face. The shaft is joined to the head by means of a connecting neck portion and the primary longitudinal axis of the shaft which diverges from the vertical axis of the head is also at an angle to the striking face. Due to this arrangement and the elongated shaft, the user is able to stand in a substantially upright position with the golf ball out in front of the user's body. By holding the upper grip portion as a pivot point with one hand, the other hand draws the clubhead back in a pendulum swing type of motion. Release by this other hand allows the club to swing downward thereby striking a golf ball. Kinetic energy of the clubhead is imparted to the ball thereby causing it to travel in a particular direction with a rolling motion, the attitude of the striking face upon impact with the ball tending to impart a slight topspin to the ball.
