I would dare to say that unless there is a museum of Spalding golf clubs, you will never fine a better conditioned set of 61 year-old Topflites than this. This was the "players" club of the time with True Temper (stiff) Rocket shafts, which have an interesting characteristic of screwing into the hosel, a heavy swing weight, and stainless steel heads. The leather grips are obviously firm, but are more-than playable if you simply get a little moisture on your skin before playing a shot. The length and lie of this set would suit someone about 5' 11' or slightly taller, but 5'9" of me had a number of enjoyable rounds with them. I have never polished them, yet most still have a fine, reflective shine.I took these in on a trade over twenty-years ago, and was told that they had been "dad's clubs" which had sat in the basement for a preceding 20+ years. They sit in a box under my bed and come out once a year. With these, I once wrestled a former US Tour pro to a draw in a friendly-wager match: it drove him nuts that he could not dust me who was hitting #6 iron from 143 yards! Getting longer-in-the-tooth, it is time for me to pass these one somewhere where the new owner will derive the pleasure of old-time golf.
