ABSTRACT:
A golf putter is disclosed for use with a stance wherein the natural body movement of the golfer is utilized in stroking or swinging the putter, eliminating the necessity of swinging the putter around the body while trying to keep the face of the putter moving in a straight line. The head of the putter includes a face having a width greater than its height, with the base of the face having a contour substantially across the width of the face. The shaft is positioned in the head at an angle to a vertical line extending through the center of a horizontal line extending across the face of the putter. The top of the putter provides a mask so that when the shaft of the putter is held in a substantially vertical position the putter, when viewed from the top, has the appearance of having a low point on the base of the face substantially in line with the shaft. In one method of use the shaft of the putter is gripped at about mid-length or lower by a single hand of the user so that the free end of the shaft extends up the forearm of the gripping hand, preferably to about the inner elbow. The opposite free arm and hand are extended across the golfer's body, and the putter shaft and/or the putter shaft and the wrist of the gripping hand are simultaneously engaged to provide a steadying action on the putter while permitting free movement of the wrist. A normal arm-swinging motion, as in bowling, is employed in swinging the putter, providing an accurate swing.
