Abstract

A golf putter having a novel putter head is disclosed. The putter head assembly includes a putter body of rigid material, preferrably metal, and a resilient full face single layer elastomeric striking face insert. The putter body and insert are joined together through the use of a shear joint around the periphery of the parts and bonded together using a structural adhesive designed for shock absorbing devices. Air/gas egress holes are incorporated within the putter body to eliminate compressibility effects of the air contained within the internal cavity, created upon assembly of the putter body and the elastomeric striking face insert.
