Weight-balanced golf putter head

Abstract

A golf putter head is generally triangular, when viewed from the top, with a flat, front face and a trailing, central tail. When viewed from the side, the head has a generally straight front face and a flat or slightly curved or rounded bottom surface. The shaft for the grip is anchored to the head at a generally central position on the top of the head, with the axis of the shaft from the ball contact point on the face of the putter head being about one-half the diameter of a legal U.S. golf ball. The head is formed and/or weighted so that the shaft is on the horizontal center of gravity of the putter head, and the vertical center of gravity is about midway between the top and bottom surfaces of the head.

1 . A golf putter head, comprising:
 from a top view, a generally triangular putter head with a generally straight front line defining a flat front surface, and two angled lines defining flat side surfaces side converging together from the front surface to a tail portion;   from a side view, a generally straight front line defining the flat front surface, and generally straight and horizontal top and bottom lines, defining, respectively, a flat top surface and a flat bottom surface, except for an upwardly curving line at the bottom towards the tail portion, wherein:   the distance between the top surface and the bottom surface is about 0.840 inches;   the center of gravity of the putter head is adapted to be midway between the top surface and the bottom surface; and   the putter head also comprises a shaft receiving barrel, the putter head being adapted so that said barrel is located on the center of gravity of said putter head.   
   
   
       2 . The putter head of  claim 1  wherein the center of gravity is about 0.840 inches back from the front surface
