ABSTRACT:
A golf putter having a flexible hosel between the shaft and the blade. A rigid canopy covers the distal end of the shaft and the proximal end of the hosel, thereby coupling the two. The hosel may be split into two flanges or may be a single, solid piece and is preferably made of graphite or spring steel. When the blade strikes the golf ball, the hosel is deformed and thereby stores energy from the stroke which is normally lost to noise, shaft vibration and blade rebound. The spring nature of the hosel returns the deformed hosel to its quiescent state, thereby imparting the stored energy to the ball in the line of the putt. The amount of deformation experienced by the hosel is controlled by the amount of the hosel covered by the canopy.
