Abstract
A putter in combination with an adjustable putter grip including an attachment handle.

A putter in combination with an adjustable putter grip for securing to the putter to allow a user to putt with arms in a parallel relationship comprising, in combination:
- a putter comprising of a lower ball striking portion, an elongated shaft extends upwardly from a top surface of the lower ball striking portion, an upper end of the elongated shaft having a gripping handle disposed thereon, the gripping handle having a planar forward surface and a rounded rearward surface;
- an attachment handle comprising a base member, the base member having generally cylindrical configuration, the base member having a recess formed in a front portion thereof intermediate end portions thereof, the recess being dimensioned for receiving the rounded rearward surface of the gripping handle of the putter therein, the base member having a threaded aperture therethrough adjacent to the recess, a notch formed in the base member extending within the threaded aperture, the attachment handle further comprising a pair of integrally formed outer handles in axial alignment extending linearly from opposing ends of the base member;
- a clamping mechanism comprising an L-shaped clamp portion, the L-shaped clamp portion having a planar exterior member and a cylindrical threaded interior member, the cylindrical threaded interior member extending orthogonally from an end of the planar exterior member, the cylindrical threaded interior member adjustably received within the threaded aperture of the base member of the attachment handle, a free end of the cylindrical threaded interior member extending outwardly of the threaded aperture and having an adjustment knob secured thereto, a boss of the adjustment knob being dimensioned for positioning within the notch in the base member, the clamping mechanism adjustably coupling the putter to the attachment handle with the planar exterior member abutting the planar forward surface of the gripping handle of the putter and adjustable along a length thereof beneath an upper end of the gripping handle.
A putter in combination with an adjustable putter grip comprising:
