ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a golf club having a shaft, a club head, and a shank connected between the shaft and head. The club head has a recess opening through the bottom thereof or in another form hereof to the rear side of the club head and which recess is disposed toward the heel portion of the head whereby the center of gravity of the club head lies outwardly of the club head median. In one form hereof, the flat striking surface of the club head lies in a plane generally parallel to a plane containing the shaft and a portion of the shank, such planes being spaced a distance substantially equal to the radius of the golf ball. The axis of the shaft lies in an oblique plane normal to the first-mentioned planes and the lower portion of the shank extends normal to such oblique plane for connection with the heel of the club head. The club is configured, weighted and balanced to provide a broad striking area with nominal or small variation in torque applied to the club when the ball is stroked. The club also provides for a symmetrical optical alignment of the club shaft, shank and head with the golf ball as well as a weighted alignment by balanced distribution of weight in the club. In another form, the recess is located such that a true vertical line extending through the center of the grip intersects the center of the club face to improve control of the ball when putting. A second cavity is located between the putter face and the first mentioned cavity to provide a uniform face depth assuring like reaction to the ball when struck to either side of the center or "sweet spot" of the club head.
