A golf putter (10, 82, 104, 140 and 180) has a shaft (22, 90, 112, 156, 194) formed by cylindrical tubing which is bent back upon itself to form adjacent coextensive portions (28, 30, 98, 100, 114, 116, 158, 160, 198, 200) which extend from a head (12, 84, 106, 142, 182) to a handgrip (24, 204). In a preferred embodiment, the juncture of the shaft (22) with the head (12) is formed by diverging legs (32, 34) secured to the head adjacent the heel (16) and toe (18) by a weight member (62) having enlarged mass portions (64, 66) and removable weights (76). In a first alternate embodiment, the reversely bent portion of the tubular stock is located within the club head (84), which is formed from opposed sections (86, 88). A second alternate embodiment (104) has shaft legs (118, 120) bent rearwardly to join head (106) at space apart recesses (122, 124) in the rear surface (110) of the club head (106). A third alternate embodiment (140) has shaft legs (162, 165) bent to enter respective recesses (170, 172) located in opposite front and rear faces (143, 144) of head (142). A fourth alternate embodiment (180) has a tubular sheath (202) disposed over the shaft portions (198, 200) which have bent apart leg portions (199, 201) located entirely within the club head (182). |
