Abstract
A putter head with two thin rails that extend from the back of the putter face to the rear of the putter head on the bottom of the putter head. The two thin rails reduce resistance from the turf during putting, assist a golfer to position the putter head, position the golfers head at address and pick up a golf ball form the turf or out of a golf hole. The two striking faces, one front striking face is for normal use and the other smaller striking in the back of the putter head is for practice or hitting a golf ball left handed. The three long plastic insert sighting lines on a flat surface, one thin and the other two dimensioned wider to assist a golfer to line up with the intended target while putting.
