Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a golf putter equipped with a large putter head whose sole area has been increased in recent years for the purpose of increasing the moment of inertia.

  Recently, the putters that are widely spread and used have a large sole area such as mallet type, and their handling is becoming a problem. For example, the large head occupies a considerable portion of the area of the back insertion opening when the club is stored in and out of the club storage bag, or after the storage. In particular, recently, when the used club is transported by a courier service or the like, the head portion jumps out of the circumference of the club storage bag during storage, and further, there is a disadvantage that the bag head cover and the head itself are damaged.
