Abstract
A golf putter has a shaft of composite materials, a putter head having a stud for mounting to the shaft of composite materials, and a grip affixed to the shaft. The shaft is a hollow shaft and the surface is sanded and cleaned before a first layer of pre-preg material is rolled onto the shaft and secured with an adhesive layer. At least one additional layer of the pre-preg material is rolled onto the first layer of the pre-preg material and secured using adhesive. Additional layers of pre-preg material may be applied to the hollow shaft. Cellophane is wrapped on top of the at least one layer of the pre-preg material prior to heat curing of the hollow shaft. After heat curing, the cellophane is removed and the surface is sanded and decorated.
