ABSTRACT:
A golf putter comprises a putter head and a conventional handle shaft attached thereto. A golf ball striking face on the head is divided into two contiguous transverse face segments, the lower of which is slanted downwardly and backwardly at about 1.degree.-7.degree. and the upper of which is slanted upwardly and backwardly at about 1.degree.-3.degree.. The two face segments, which intersect along a line about 0.600 inches above the sole of the head, cause a line, rather than a point, contact with a ball being putted and also cause an overspin to a struck ball, both to improve directional control of the ball. Rapid visual alignment between a preselected striking region on the face and a ball to be putted is provided by a plurality of visually contrasting lines formed transversely across a top surface of the head parallel to the face and spanning the striking region. Ridges defining the contrasting lines are interrupted about a plane through the striking region center and orthagonal to the face and sole, a contrasting line pointing towards the striking region being thereby formed. The visual sighting effect may be enhanced by varying the length and/or the width of the contrasting lines in a regular manner as distance of the lines from the face increases.
