Abstract: A putter club is provided which enables accurate putting by maintaining an angle of a ball-hitting surface with respect to the horizontal plane during a swing. When a player holds a grip with both hands and back-swings from an address position, a shaft is inclined toward a positive side of an X-axis. In this process, the head is pivoted by its own weight around a rotational axis which is horizontal, which is parallel to the ball-hitting surface, and which passes through a center of mass of the head, and an angle of the ball-hitting surface with respect to the horizontal plane is maintained. In the process from start of the swing through an impact to a follow-through, the shaft is inclined toward a negative side of the X-axis. During this process also, the head is pivoted by its own weight around the rotational axis, and the angle of the ball-hitting surface with respect to the horizontal plane is maintained.

Abstract: A golf putter head is provided that includes an upper plate and a base plate. The base plate further includes a striking surface.

Abstract: A golf putter providing a center mount of the hosel to the club head and a shaft engagement to the hosel at the heel end of the club head. The center mount provides the sole engagement of the hosel to the head as a gap is formed by a pathway formed through the body of the head which is larger than the circumference of the hosel in its communication therethrough. The centered engagement provides better touch to the user and feedback on striking a ball while concurrently removing the shaft from the user's line of sight to the ball and club face and reduces the twist or torque at impact with a golf ball, thereby increasing the moment of inertia.

Abstract: The current invention is a golf putter designed to be held by only one hand in order to achieve the ability to produce a pure pendulum motion. The pure pendulum motion has many advantages and solves problems encountered with the conventional two hand putting method. The shaft diameter is large enough to be gripped comfortably by one hand, anywhere along the shaft, and held against the arm, so that the arm and putter move in unison as a pendulum whose pivot point is the joint of the golfer's upper arm and shoulder. The golfer can move the putter in a coplanar motion similarly to a pure pendulum. The striking face of the putter may be set and maintained perpendicular to the target line, thereby solving the variable face angle problem attendant putting with two arms. Other putting errors are eliminated. The putter also works with two hands.
