What makes this club so interesting, the owner must have been fed up with replacing the splice whippings and had a club maker (or plumber) cover the whipping with a COPPER SLEEVE eight inches long. Not only will the whipping stay in place, the scare was made absolutely unbreakable. A great conversation piece! Head is G-6, shaft (above the copper) and grip are G-8+ $900-1400
