Abstract: A golf putter includes a putter head formed of a novel composition including a portion of polytetrafluoroethylene resin on the face of the putter head to minimize friction between the putter and the golf ball. The entire putter head may be formed of an alloy including a portion of polytetrafluoroethylene resin. The putter includes a shaft which is connected to the putter head whereby a line extending along the surface of the shaft corresponding to the face hangs vertically when the putter is suspended by the grip in the manner of a pendulum. Additionally, the putter head is provided with at least one alignment line along the top surface of the putter head, the alignment line being perpendicular to the face of the head. The shaft is connected to the head at a region of intersection lying in the alignemnt line, the portion of the shaft adjacent the region of intersection being coated with material of a color corresponding to the color of the alignment line.
