Abstract
A putter is provided with concentrations of mass in the toe and heel portions, and the putter head is otherwise configured so that its center of gravity is approximately midway between the toe and heel of the putter head. Maximum stability within practical constraints is achieved by an especially configured hosel which extends vertically from proximate the heel of the putter head and positions the putter shaft so that its longitudinal axis intersects an imaginary line at a point forward of the face of the putter with the imaginary line being normal to the face of the putter and passing through the center of gravity thereof.
