The club closes to the cup

It is known to all that we need to change different golf clubs over the different holes. Golf Driver has been used for the first swing, Golf Iron set also used on the specific place.

Different from other golf clubs, the putter is the kind of club used on the green, generally holds a very close distance to the cup. While no club in a player's bag is absolutely indispensable or required by strict rules, the putter comes closest. It is a highly specialized tool for a specific job and virtually no golfer is without one.

Putting is the most precise aspect of the game of golf. The putter must be designed to give the golfer every technical advantage including smooth stroke, good glide, sweet impact, and bounce-less topspin ball launch as well as every technique advantage including perfect fit as to shaft angle and length.

The design of the putter's clubhead has undergone radical change in the last 20–30 years, as have many club types. The putter was originally a forged iron piece very similar in shape to the irons of the day. Through attempts to lower the center of gravity of the clubhead, it evolved into a shorter, thicker head slightly curved from front to rear (the so-called "hot dog" putter). The introduction of investment casting for club heads allowed drastically different shapes to be made far more easily and cheaply than with forging, resulting in several design improvements.

There are two known features about putter, one is the adjustability and the other is practice convertibility.
