ABSTRACT:
A putter having a putter head that includes a forward portion and a tail portion extending opposite from the forward portion. The forward portion includes a laterally extending, rounded, forward top surface to which a shaft is attached, and a laterally extending, rounded striking surface that extends forward and downward from the forward top surface. The forward portion further includes a laterally extending, planar, forward bottom surface extending rearward from the striking surface. The tail portion is generally coextensive with the forward portion and includes a laterally extending, rounded, tail top surface, and a laterally extending, rounded, tail bottom surface, which terminates in a rearmost tail tip. The putter forward portion defines a forward cavity and the tail portion defines a tail cavity, each of which are filled with lead so as to add weight to the putter head. The overall dimensions and weight distribution of the putter head provide a user of the putter with a unique "touch and feel" when putting. The putter head is balanced and does not "feel", for example, like a piece of pipe at the end of the shaft. When the rounded striking surface comes into contact with a ball, the ball develops overspin. The putter head contains a minimum number of sharp edges that could cause the ball to bounce from the putter head in an uncontrolled manner or result in stubbing. The putter head is resilient and soft and this resilience and softness can be utilized to maximize putting success.
