Abstract

A golf putter for putting a ball along a path of desired golf ball travel includes a head having a planar striking surface. A horizontal extension from the head positions the shaft in a vertical plane 1/2 inch to 2 inches rearward of the head. The extension provides the connecting link between the shaft and the rear surface of the head and locates the center of gravity of the head between the shaft and the ball to be stroked when the head is in a striking position relative to the ball.
