<p>A putter having a soft elastomeric striking face is described. The elastomer of the striking face has a controlled hardness and rebound response to impart to the putter an improved sense of touch and feel while producing a putt of maximum distance with a minimum of effort and enhanced directional accuracy. Additionally, there is disclosed a golf putter 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 face is masked in order 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. There is also disclosed a method of putting 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.</p> |
