Abstract

A golf putter is disclosed comprising a shaft, an offset portion and a head. The head is laterally and vertically displaced from the shaft by the offset portion. The head is attached to the offset portion is such a way that when the putter is properly positioned for ball to club alignment, the offset portion is attached to an end portion of the head furthest from the golfer's body. The view presented thereby is of a shaft which appears to pass in a parallel but laterally displaced plane in front of the head. As viewed by the golfer, the golf ball appears to be bracketed by the head, offset portion and the shaft.
