Abstract
A golf putter for putting a golf ball includes a clubhead having a ball-striking surface, a neck member, and a straight shaft having a grip portion at its proximal end and connecting to the neck member at its distal end. The neck member provides the connecting link between the distal end of the shaft and the top surface of the clubhead and includes a wedge-shaped portion which extends forward of the ball-striking surface. The wedge-shaped portion is segmented into an upper reduced-thickness section and a lower section which is approximately twice the thickness of the upper section. A ledge is created by this difference in thickness and is disposed coincident with the plane of interface between the upper and lower sections. A sighting line groove is located across the top surface of the ledge.
