12. A golf putter comprising a shaft and a putting head connected to the shaft, the putting head comprising:
(a) a first contact surface, wherein the first contact surface is partially-cylindrical and further comprises
a first radius,
wherein the first radius is at least the same measurement as a golf ball radius,
a first perimeter edge,
a second perimeter edge,
a first apex, and
a first depth,
wherein the first depth is defined as a distance between the first apex and a first plane defined by the first perimeter edge and the second perimeter edge, and
wherein the first depth is at least one-half the radius of a golf ball;
(b) a rear wall, the rear wall being opposite the first contact surface wherein the rear wall comprises a second contact surface, wherein the second contact surface is concave and further comprises
a second radius, wherein the second radius is at least the same measurement as a golf ball radius,
a third perimeter edge,
a fourth perimeter edge,
a second apex, and
a second depth, wherein the second depth is defined as a distance between the second apex and a second plane defined by the third perimeter edge and the fourth perimeter edge, and
wherein the second depth is at least one-half the radius of a golf ball;
