A putter head that includes: a head body having a face portion; and a face insert fitted in the face portion, the face insert including a high-hardness portion that forms a hitting surface, a low-hardness portion jointed to the high-hardness portion and having a hardness lower than that of the high-hardness portion, and a projecting portion formed at least on a central portion of the high-hardness portion, the low-hardness portion filling a recessed portion formed by the projecting portion.

Disclosed is a golf club having a shaft, a club head, and a shank connected between the shaft and head. The club head has a recess opening through the bottom thereof or in another form hereof to the rear side of the club head and which recess is disposed toward the heel portion of the head whereby the center of gravity of the club head lies outwardly of the club head median. In one form hereof, the flat striking surface of the club head lies in a plane generally parallel to a plane containing th...

A golf putter apparatus is provided having a putter head with a front driving face having convex, horizontal and vertical curves each approximating ellipses. A putter shaft is attached in the center of the rear of the putter head and a striking point indicator is located on top of the putter head so that striking a golf ball on the driving face of the putter head at the approximate indicated striking point will compensate for minute movements of a golfer's wrist.

The putter head has a front face with a heel and toe edge extending from the front face. Both the heel and toe surfaces have cavities extending from the outer surface toward a central wall that is perpendicular to the face of the putter to provide visual indication that the face is square to the intended putting line. Two semicircular cavities extend from the top surface of the putter and are separated by the central wall. Medallions on the upper surface of the putter sole are aligned with the s...

A head on a golf putter is configured to create overspin on a putted golf ball. An exemplary embodiment employs a body with a ball-striking face including a first curved segment with a first radius of curvature and a second curved segment with a second radius of curvature. The first and second curved segments define a curved surface extending from a bottom surface of the body. The first segment is positioned proximate to the bottom surface and the second segment is positioned intermediate the bo...

A golf putter comprises a head of hard metal having a face, walls extending rearwardly from the face surrounding a cavity in the head, and an adjustable weight such as lead tape with an adhesive backing is secured into the cavity.
