Golf club head for putter, and golf putter
View Patent ↗Putter head 2 having a head main body 4 constructed with a metal, and a member having low specific gravity 6 constructed with a material having a specific gravity lower than that of the metal constructing the head main body 4 . The member having low specific gravity 6 is provided on the sole surface 16 side of the head main body 4 . At least a part of the sole surface 16 is constructed with the member having low specific gravity 6 . Preferably, the head main body 4 has a hollow part t. Preferably, the center of gravity g 2 of the member having low specific gravity 6 is located to get closer to the face side than the center of gravity g 1 of the head does. The golf putter according to the present invention has the putter head 2 , a shaft 3 , and a grip. The present invention provides a golf club head for a putter and a golf putter which achieve favorable rolling.
