Abstract: The present invention is of a golf putter and putter head that assist the user in properly aligning the putter face with the intended path of a golf ball and, upon impact, provide immediate distance and directional control of the golf ball. The golf putter and putter head have a negatively angled putter face that strikes a golf ball above its equator, imparting an immediate forward spin to the golf ball and thus, minimizing the bouncing or skidding of the ball, which can greatly affect the distance and accuracy of the putt. As a result of the negatively angled putter face, an upper portion of the putter head overlaps the golf ball when one is addressing the ball. This overlap creates a perceived line of intersection along the top of the golf ball, which acts as a visual reference when aligning the putter face with the ball and its intended path. The effectiveness of this alignment aid can be improved by adding markings along the top of the putter head.
