General Rules for Putters -- A club is an implement designed to be used for striking
the ball and generally comes in three forms: woods; irons; and putters. A putter
is a club with a loft angle not exceeding ten degrees designed primarily for use
on the putting green. The club must not be substantially different from the traditional
and customary form and make. The Club must be composed of a shaft and a head. All
parts of the club must be fixed so that the club is one unit, and it must have no
external attachments except as otherwise permitted by the Rules.
Putter Adjustability Rules -- Putters may be designed to be adjustable for weight
and some other forms of adjustability are also permitted. All methods of adjustment
permitted by the Rules require that: 1) the adjustment cannot be readily made; 2)
all adjustment parts are firmly fixed and there is no reasonable likelihood of them
working loose during a round; and 3) all configurations of adjustment conform to
the Rules. The disqualification penalty for purposely changing the playing characteristics
of a club during a stipulated round applies to all clubs including a putter.
Putter Length Rules -- The overall length of the club must be at least 18 inches
and except for putters must not exceed 48 inches. For putters, the measurement of
length is taken from the top of the grip along the axis of the shaft, or a straight
line extension of it, to the sole of the club.
Putter Alignment Rules -- When the club is in its normal address position the shaft
must be so aligned that the projection of the straight part of the shaft on to the
vertical plane through the toe and heel must diverge from the vertical by at least
10 degrees (translated, this means that the Lie Angle must be no more than 80 degrees
or that the Declination Angle must be no less than 10 degrees).
Putter Shaft Rules -- The shaft must be straight from the top of the grip to a point
not more than 5 inches above the sole. At any point along its length the shaft must:
1) bend in such a way that the deflection is the same regardless of how the shaft
is rotated about its longitudinal axis, and 2) twist the same amount in both directions.
The shaft of a putter head may be fixed at any point in the head.
Putter Grip Rules -- The grip consists of material added to the shaft to enable the
player to obtain a firm hold. The grip must be straight and plain in form, must extend
to the end of the shaft and must not be molded for any part of the hands. If no material
is added, that portion of the shaft designed to be held by the player must be considered
the grip. A putter grip may have a non-circular cross-section, provided the cross-section
has no concavity, is symmetrical and remains generally similar throughout the length
of the grip. A putter may have two grips provided that each is circular in cross-section,
the axis of each coincides with the axis of the shaft, and they are separated by
at least 1.5 inches.
Putter Head Rules -- The putter head should be generally plain in shape. All parts
must be rigid, structural in nature and functional. It is not practicable to define
plain in shape precisely and comprehensively but features which are added for the
purpose of meeting dimensional specifications or for aiming or for any other purpose
are deemed to be in breach of this requirement and therefore not permitted including:
1) holes through the head, 2) transparent material added for other than decorative
or structural purposes; 3) appendages to the main body of the head such as knobs
or plates or rods or fins. Exceptions to the plain in shape rule may be made for
putters. Any furrows in or runners on the sole must not extend into the face. When
the clubhead is in its normal address position, the dimensions of the head must be
such that the distance from the heel to the toe is greater than the distance from
the face to the back. The clubhead must have only one striking face, except that
a putter may have two such faces if their characteristics are the same, and they
are opposite each other.
Putter Face Rules -- The material and construction of, or any treatment to, the face
of clubhead must not have the effect at impact of a spring, or impart significantly
more or less spin to the ball than a standard steel face, or have any other effect
which would unduly influence the movement of the ball. The face of the club must
be hard and rigid; some exceptions being made for putters. Except for acceptable
markings the face of the club must be smooth and have no degree of concavity; acceptable
markings include surface roughness that does not exceed that of decorative sandblasting
or fine milling. Specifications with regard to roughness, material, markings in the
impact area do not apply to putters.
