Abstract
An adjustable putter having an elongated straight shaft terminating in an adjustable gear linkage which mates with a corresponding adjustable gear linkage which is affixed to a hosel, which is in turn connected to a putter head, thereby providing adjustment in a plane which is parallel to the hitting face of the putter head. Such an adjustability feature enables the golfer to vary the angle of the shaft relative to the putter head, while complying with golf regulations such as those disseminated by the U.S. Golf Association. In a preferred embodiment hereof, a tool for permitting the adjustment of the putter is stored in the top of the gripping portion of the shaft.
