CARNOUSTIE (Wilson) Hickory Shaft DRIVING BRASSIE 43" 10* D-2 RESTORED TO PLAY!

I'm not sure it gets better than this when it comes to a playable hickory shaft driver---unless you want to spend $1500 for an exceptional Jack White. This fully restored Carnoustie "Bench Made" (made by Wilson Sporting Goods of the USA) driving brassie has a DEEP face---over 1 5/8"!  The average hickory has a 1 3/8" deep face---they commonly used a smaller ball of 1.62" diameter so the smaller heads looked good in the era---but now we have 1.68" balls (starting in the USA in 1931) so this makes an IDEAL hickory shaft driver for the modern player.    The ALUMINUM, not brass, soleplate reads "Brassie" and this 43 1/2" club has 10 degrees of loft (the original loft) and a D-2 swingweight.  The original hickory shaft is "firm"---about halfway between regular and stiff, and works well for either player.  The shaft is generally straight, not any significant bend to adversely affect shots---in fact, this club hits great: slightly low trajectory and more prone to draw than fade---and LONG. The grip is a black deerskin leather, smooth-side out, in a slightly larger size than is common for the era (like a modern standard size: +1/64").I used a deep-faced Wilson club just like this to win most of my hickory shaft golf tournaments; great, restored hickory brassie.  This club won't be on eBay for long....
