Abstract
Abstract This invention pertains to a new design, configuration, and mode of construction for a golf putter. A putter head is constructed from metallic square tubular stocks. A plastic putting surface is constructed in the face of the club and the tubular body is filled with epoxy or injected plastic. The shaft is secured to the center of the rear of the head. The shaft makes a 90* turn, extends parallel to the head, and projects upward at a 10* angle from the normal.
