A putter golf club comprising a shaft and a head,
- said head having a front face having a height and a maximum width, a back edge, a top surface and a bottom surface,
- said shaft extending into said head from said top surface at a first angle from a direction normal to said top surface toward said front face of between about 10° and about 20° and at a second angle from said direction normal to said top surface toward a user of said club between about 10° and about 20° and being positioned at least about 70% of a maximum length between said front surface and said back edge away from said front face,
- said shaft having a centerline extending the length of said shaft and a midpoint on said centerline positioned equidistant between said top surface of said head and a shaft bottom surface positioned within said head and
- said midpoint being positioned in a direction of a line defining a maximum width of said front face a distance less than about 10% of the maximum width of said front face from a line extending through a centerpoint of said front face and said line being normal to said top surface.
