ABSTRACT:
An improved golf putter includes a putting face with a plurality of fine spring wires extending outward therefrom. Each of the spring wires includes a substantially horizontal initial leg portion extending outward form the putter face and an angled leg portion which extends upward and outward away from the initial leg portion. As the putter is swung, the angled leg portions spring inward and then upward and outward due to contact with the golf ball. This spring action simultaneously imparts both a forward and a topspin motion to the golf ball. The wires can be attached to an insert which is replaceable and interchangeable. Inserts with wires extending at differing angles can be provided to counteract a player's tendency to close or open the putter face during a putting stroke. A protective molding can be provided for surrounding and protecting the spring wires.
