Definition: A type of putter that features a longer shaft than a conventional putter (but not as long as a long, or broomstick, putter). The belly putter is so called because the longer shaft is anchored against the golfer's stomach, which serves as a fulcrum for making the stroke.
The form and function of a belly putter is much closer to that of a conventional putter than a long putter. Like the conventional putter, a belly putty is used by employing a two-handed stroke with similar putting posture. The connection to the body with a belly putter helps stabilize the wrists through the stroke.
