Abstract
A putter blade is attached to a pneumatic cylinder mounted in a putter head. Also attached to the head are a sealed hollow shaft (serving as a compressed gas reservoir) and a cleated foot. Mounted on the shaft are a pressure gauge, a pressure relief valve, a compressed air fill valve, a pneumatic switch, a hand grip, and pneumatic tubing and fittings connecting the shaft/reservoir, switch, and cylinder. Also attached to the shaft (removable) is a bicycle pump, used to fill the reservoir. After pressurizing the shaft/reservoir, pressing the pneumatic switch will stroke a golf ball without requiring the operator to swing the putter.
