A golf putter having a bent shaft and designed to be used with an individual
facing
the intended travel direction of the launched golf ball. The golf putter comprises
a bent shaft configuration, an upper handle assembly having a rotating upper grip,
a fixed lower grip, and a putter head assembly. In operation, the right-handed
individual will hold the golf putter with the left hand grasping the rotating handle
assembly and the right hand grasping the lower fixed grip. The left hand and the
rotating upper grip are held against the abdomen for stability purposes. Using
the right hand, the individual rotates the shaft rearward and then forward to make
contact between the putter head and the golf ball. The present invention golf putter
comprises unique symmetry allowing a left-handed individual to use the golf putter
simply by reversing the hand positions described. By enabling the individual to
face the cup, the proposed invention provides better sight alignment and enables
a more natural swing. The present invention shaft configuration and the rotating
grip assembly function to allow the putter head to operate in a smooth pendulum
motion to trace a smooth arc around the upper rotating grip as it is held firmly
against the individual's abdomen. This smooth pendulum motion in combination with
the stability created by the proper positioning of the upper rotating grip, provide
improved consistency and improved accuracy in putting.
