 have a hosel extending upwardly from proximate the heel of the putter head a distance of from about two to three inches relative to the sole of the head. The lower end of the shaft is usually secured in a socket-like boss formed on the upper end of the hosel. Such putters are typically heel-toe balanced but are not face balanced due to the rearward disposition of their upwardly extending hosel.
A particular prior art putter marketed under the tradename ZAAP by the Tommy Armour Golf Company, has a hosel and is both heel-toe balanced and face balanced. To accomplish such balancing, the ZAAP putter has its hosel extending upwardly and forwardly from proximate the heel of the head at about a 45.degree. angle and the socket-like boss is disposed at an angle of about 125.degree. relative to the hosel.
The angular orientation of the hosel of the ZAAP putter may disturb some golfers by distracting or otherwise interfering with the high degree of precision visual alignment required for good putting. In addition to such possible optical distraction, the ZAAP putter is configured so that the rotational axis defined by the putter's shaft passes through the center of gravity of the putter and thus lacks the additional stabilizing influence provided by off-setting the shaft axis forwardly of the putter's face so that the shaft axis intersects with the imaginary line which extends formally from the face of the putter head and contains the center of gravity of the putter.
Therefore, a need exists for a new and useful putter which overcomes some of the shortcomings and disadvantages of the prior art. This invention relates to the field of matrix materials for printing plates. More particularly, this invention relates to the field of matrix material used to form a mold which is, in turn, used in the formation of flexographic printing plates, particularly rubber printing plates.
Matrix materials are known for use in forming both relatively shallow (below 0.15 inches) relief printing plates and relatively deep (0.15 to 0.30 inches) relief printing plates. Each of these matrix materials has its own characteristics and problems. A principal problem with the matrix material for deep relief printing plates is in obtaining the desired deep relief in the matrix material, while two of the more principal problems in the formation of a matrix for shallow relief printing plates are in (1) character definition, i.e., producing sharply defined impressions
have a hosel extending upwardly from proximate the heel of the putter lead a distance of from approximately two to three inches relative to the sole of the capitulum. The low end of the shaft is normally secured in a socket - like boss form on the upper end of the hosel. Such putters are typically cad - toe balanced but are not face balanced due to the rearward disposition of their up extending hosel. 
 A particular anterior art putter market under the tradename ZAAP by the Tommy Armour Golf Company, accept a hosel and is both heel - toe balanced and face balanced. To achieve such balancing, the ZAAP putter has its hosel extending upwardly and forwardly from proximate the cad of the head at approximately a 45.degree. angle and the socket - like boss is disposed at an slant of about 125.degree. relative to the hosel. 
 The angular orientation of the hosel of the ZAAP putter may disturb some golfers by distracting or otherwise interfering with the high degree of precision visual alignment required for good putting. In addition to such potential ocular distraction, the ZAAP putter is configure so that the rotational bloc defined by the putter's shaft passes through the center of graveness of the putter and thus miss the additional stabilizing influence provided by away - setting the shaft axis forwardly of the putter's face so that the shaft axis intersects with the fanciful line which extends formally from the face of the putter head and contains the center of gravity of the putter. 
 consequently, a motivation exists for a new and useful putter which overcomes some of the defect and disadvantages of the prior art. This invention relates to the field of matrix materials for printing plates. More particularly, this invention relate to the field of matrix fabric used to form a mold which is, in turn, used in the constitution of flexographic printing plate, particularly arctic printing plates.
