A putter comprises a shaft comprising an upper longitudinal groove; a T-shaped grip comprising a bar including a cavity with a first bearing fitted therein, an opposite, threaded projecting cylinder, and a longitudinal channel matingly engaged with the groove; an abutment assembly adapted to urge against a golfer's body and comprising a cylindrical projection having a peg fastened in the cavity; a sleeve including a recess and a nut; and a second bearing fitted in the recess wherein the cylinder passes the second bearing and the sleeve to theradedly secure to the nut; and a bifurcated head pivotably coupled to the shaft for permitting an angle adjustment therebetween. The invention enables even a novice to easily put the ball into the hole while playing since the hit ball tends to roll in a direction as expected.
1. A putter, comprising:
an elongated shaft comprising an upper longitudinal groove and a lower pivot section including transverse lower and upper holes;
a T-shaped grip comprising a bar including a cavity at one end, a projecting cylinder having an outer threaded head at the other end, and a longitudinal channel having a mated interior for matingly engaging with the groove so that the shaft and the grip are adapted to be threadedly secured together by driving a fastener through the bar to urge against the shaft; a first bearing fitted in the cavity; an abutment assembly including an arcuate abutment member adapted to urge against a golfer's body, a cylindrical projection facing the bar, and a projecting peg inserted into the first bearing to fasten in the cavity; a sleeve including a recess at one end and a nut having internal threads at the other end; and a second bearing fitted in the recess wherein the cylinder passes the second bearing and the sleeve to theradedly secure to the nut; and
a bifurcated head comprising an upright receptacle, a lower pin hole at either side of the receptacle, and an upper arcuate trough at either side of the receptacle; a pin driven through the pin hole at one side, the lower hole, and the pin hole at the other side for pivotably fastening a lower portion of the shaft in the receptacle; and a bolt and nut combination driven through the trough at one side, the upper hole, and the trough at the other side for fastening so that the shaft is adapted to pivot about the pin in a range defined by an arc length of the trough.
