ABSTRACT:
A golf putter provides for uniform contact with a golf ball during the putting stroke and a putter head having uniform mass distributed across the ball striking putter face for an enhanced feel and accuracy in the putting stroke. The putter includes a putter head having a mallet portion carrying a substantial mass of the putter head uniformly distributed between heel and toe portions of the mallet portion and a blade portion carried in a suspended relation by the mallet portion. The blade portion has a bottom surface suspended above the bottom surface of the mallet portion for reducing unwanted scuffing of the putting surface during the striking of the golf ball, and includes a front face for striking the ball. A shaft extends upwardly from a heel of the mallet portion and includes a double bend spaced from the mallet portion for positioning a shaft handle above the blade portion and providing face balancing to the putter. The mass of the mallet portion is sufficient for reducing torque on the shaft during the striking of the golf ball and provides a desirable feel for the golfer during the putting stroke. To enhance alignment of the blade front face, the mallet portion includes a smoothly contoured channel carried within a top surface of the mallet portion which forms opposing parallel side wall edges transversely spaced by the diameter of the golf ball for aligning the golf ball within imaginary lines extending forward from the opposing side wall edges through the front face.
