  • Patent number: 6767292
    Abstract: A golfing putter comprises a shaft, a putter head and a pair of runner guides. The linearly elongated shaft is inserted at the rear of the putter head and disposed at angle to accommodate golfers seated in a wheel chair. The top of the putter head includes an alignment indicia, thereby providing a means for properly aligning the center of the putter face with the center of the golf ball and on the correct intended putting line. The pair of runner guides are positioned at the bottom of the putter head, intermediate to the putter head and the putting surface, and run parallel to the direction of the shaft and the intended putting line. The rearmost portion of the runner guides includes a rounded surface so as to elevate the putter face, thereby minimizing drag on the putter as it is stroked and encouraging overspin to the struck golf ball.
