Abstract: Described herein is the specification for a golf club, specifically a putter, with an improved moment of inertia and improved sole to reduce the adverse effects of grounding the club head. The putter increases peripheral weighting relative to the center of gravity by incorporating a non-rectangular shaped face. The improved face shape redistributes unused material along the face to the peripherally located toe and heel. Increasing the peripheral weighting increases the putter moment of inertia thereby reducing the adverse effects of striking the ball away from the center of gravity. The improved sole design provides runners to reduce the adverse effect of grounding the club head during the putting via a flat surface aligned to the arc of the stroke.
