Abstract
This invention is the application of a tensioned wire striking surface to a golf putter. The wire is placed such that several turns form a flat plane over a concave portion on each side of the putter. Positioning and anchoring grooves on each end of the putter receive the wire and assure uniform tension and resultant musical tone. The putter is not adjustable, but is fixed in position. The shape of the structural and weight member is such that a high moment of inertia to rotation is achieved. The invention is an improvement over an earlier invention describing the application of tensioned wire striking surfaces to golf clubs, not including putters.
