A sole (22) extends along the bottom of the putter head (12). A putter face (24) is provided for impacting a golf ball (66). A cantilevered extension (26) is provided between the putter head (12) and a hosel (28) for the putter (10).

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Design patent application Ser. No. 29/087,553, filed May 5, 1998 still pending.
An improved golf club-head having a hollowed strike-barrel (10) centrally located and positioned parallel on the golfer's intended target line for more precise alignment and efficient on-target stroke. The mass of strike-barrel walls (16) in a graduating manner providing additional force behind the usual-mis-hit-area, therefore compensating for the misdirection and the loss of velocity on off-center strikes. The strike-barrel pocket (12), and any additional pockets in the rear of arms (40), hosel (44), and the heel and toe (42), providing a significant air drag when the club-head is swung back from the ball, thereby slowing the golfer's backswing. The strike-barrel (10) having bead-mark sights (49) and (28) on its parallel axis along the target line for improved alignment and stroke. An elongated hosel-base (32) provides assistance to the golfer in keeping the clubhead on track longer.
