ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a golf putter head which is longer (5.5 inches or greater), wider (at least 1.30 inch), and higher (at least 1.375 inch) than a conventional putter head so that the putter head is easier to align initially and provides greater distance and control during putting. The putter head includes a blade having a striking face, a blade sole, a heel end, a toe end, and a rear face. A flange extends integrally and rearwardly from the blade and has enlarged heel and toe sections and reduced-thickness center portion forming a cavity behind the putter blade. The center section of the flange is between 0.125 and 0.375 inch in thickness to provide reinforcement against vibration to the thin blade. As a result of the mass distribution of the blade and flange, the center of mass is positioned vertically to coincide with the center of a golf ball being stroked, and the putter has a rotational moment of inertia about a vertical axis through the center of mass of greater than 5000 gm/cm.sup.2. The putter head is cast of aluminum and weights between 265 and 330 grams. The putter head has a milled face smoothed to within 0.001 inch to eliminate skew on striking.
