Abstract: A golf putter including the conventional shaft having a gripping handle at one end and a ball striking head at the other wherein the ball striking head comprises a body with a shaft engaging bore for receiving the shaft, and a ball striking surface disposed remotely from the shaft engaging bore. The ball striking surface has the configuration of a cylindrical segment of substantially constant radius, intersecting a plane extending through the axis of said shaft along said gripping handle portion and generally parallel to a plane tangent of said ball striking surface at the arcuate center thereof. The magnitude of the radius is preferably between 21/2 inches and 31/2 inches, although radii of up to about 41/2 inches may be useful, with most universal acceptance being a radius of substantially 3 inches.
