Claims (8)

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
1 - An adjustable putter head, for use in a putter, com-prising in combination: a rotating arm that is fixed to a putter shaft by having a stem configuration protruding inside the opening of the said shaft; a putter hitting blade having a substantially straight and even surface for hitting a golf ball, having at opposing surface a pro-truding shaft allowing the said arm to rotate three hundred sixty degrees on itself; and locking means composed of a screw and washer to lock into position the said arm onto the said putter hitting blade to any angle of lie desired.
2 - An adjustable putter head as defined in claim 1 wherein said arm has a countersunk clearance hole slightly bigger then the said protruding shaft of the said putter hitting blade, wherein the said arm can be inserted onto the said protruding shaft of the said putter hitting blade.
3 - An adjustable putter head as defined in claim 2 wherein the said arm and said putter shaft can be adjusted, in re-lation with the said putter hitting blade, to any rotating position or angle of lie.
4 - An adjustable putter head as defined in claim 1 wherein the said protruding shaft of the said putter hitting blade is of cylindrical configuration and tapped with matching thread size of the said locking screw.
5 - An adjustable putter head as defined in claim 1 wherein the locking means is achieved by use of a flat countersunk machine screw with a countersunk external tooth lockwasher, wherein the said washer is placed onto the said screw which threads itself into the said protruding shaft of the said putter hitting blade, whereby tightening the said screw, the said arm locks into place into the desired position.
6 - An adjustable putter head as defined in claim 1 where-in the said putter hitting blade has an acute angular hitting surface to provide greater lift and rolling action when the said hitting surface impacts the golf ball.
7 - An adjustable putter head as defined in claim 1 wherein said putter head has a sight to make proper alignment of the said putter.
8 - An adjustable putter head as defined in claim 7 wherein said sight comprises of a recess linear cavity at center of top surface, positioned perpendicular to the said putter hitting blade.
