ABSTRACT:
A golf putter is provided with a putter head having a unique configuration. This configuration allows the putter shaft to be disposed in a substantially vertical orientation when the putter head impacts a golf ball. The putter head has a body with a flat, forwardly facing, vertically oriented striking face and a flat, horizontally oriented bottom face disposed substantially normal to the striking face. At the body of the putter a neck is formed that extends upwardly and rises above the level of the striking face of the putter body. The neck projects laterally from the body a distance of at least about one inch and above the level of the bottom face of the body a distance of at least about one inch. The neck of the putter head defines a shaft socket that is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the bottom face of the putter head. The shaft is thereby connected to and seated in the shaft socket. By utilizing the putter of the invention, a golfer is able to stand virtually upright in a relaxed position with arms tucked in against his or her sides. The putter can be swung in the manner of a pendulum. The curvature of the neck and the lateral inside surface of the body of the putter head provides clearance to allow the toe of the golfer's shoe to be positioned roughly adjacent to the ball and directly beneath the putter shaft.
