Abstract
A golf club putter includes a clubhead body sufficiently weighted to define a center of gravity of the golf club, which center of gravity may be adjusted for left and right handed golfers. The putter includes a graphite or fiberglass composite shaft, elongated along a central axis continuously tapering radially inwardly, from: a larger outside diameter adjacent a tip end attached to the clubhead body, to: a smaller outside diameter adjacent a grip end. Preferably, the composite shaft is reverse tapered. The reverse tapered shaft comprises longitudinally oriented graphite or fiberglass fibers in an arrangement that enables shaft torsional distorting forces imposed at the grip end during putting to be imparted to the clubhead and a golf ball thereby.

A composite golf club putter, comprising:
- a clubhead body sufficiently weighted to define a center of gravity of the golf club;
- and
- a reverse tapered composite shaft elongated along a central axis continuously tapering radially inwardly, from:
- a larger outside diameter adjacent a tip end attached to the clubhead body, to:
- a smaller outside diameter adjacent a grip end;
- wherein the reverse tapered composite shaft comprises longitudinally oriented fibers in an arrangement that enables shaft torsional distorting forces imposed at the grip end during putting to be imparted to the clubhead and a golf ball thereby.
A process for manufacturing a composite golf club putter configured to enable shaft torsional distorting forces imposed at the grip end during putting to be transmitted to the clubhead in such a way in that, depending on whether the clubhead strikes a golf ball, from the left or right, and at a toe or heel of the clubhead, a spin is imparted to golf ball, comprising steps of:
- forming a composite shaft elongated along a central axis with longitudinally oriented fibers;
- forming a clubhead body sufficiently weighted to define a center of gravity of the clubhead;
- and
- connecting the clubhead body to a tip end of the composite shaft in order to facilitate said shaft torsional distorting forces.
A composite golf club putter, comprising:
- a clubhead body sufficiently weighted to define a center of gravity of the golf club;
- and
- a composite shaft elongated along a central axis between a tip end attached to the clubhead body and a grip end;
- wherein the composite shaft comprises longitudinally oriented fibers in an arrangement that enables shaft torsional distorting forces imposed at the grip end during putting to be imparted to the clubhead body and a golf ball thereby.
