Abstract

A putter which provides visual cues to the golfer that promote a putting stroke having a vertical arc component. The club head includes a top surface which is slanted downward toward the ball and an elbow-shaped hosel which extends forwardly from the top face. The configuration and relationship between the hosel and top face creates a visual image which, when viewed from the golfer's perspective, promotes a pendulum-type putting stroke which includes a vertical arc component.
