Abstract:
1. A putter comprising: a putter head body having a front face, a rear face, a topside and a bottom and further including a shaft-receiving bore located substantially at the center of the topside of the putter head body and extending into the putter head body; a shaft substantially centrally attached to the topside of the putter head; said shaft extending into the shaft-receiving bore within the putter head body; pivotal means for joining said putter head body and said shaft such that the putter head body may rotate with respect to the shaft while the shaft is held substantially firmly in a golfer's hands during striking of a golf ball with the front face of the putter head body; a tapered piece located on said shaft and adjacent to said top surface of said putter head body; said tapered piece including attaching means for attaching said tapered piece to said shaft; said tapered piece further including viewable indicia thereon; whereby with the inclusion of said viewable indicia the amount of putter head body rotation that occurs when a golf ball is struck off-center enables a golfer to identify where the golf ball has struck the front face of the putter head body.
