The Ryder Cup
Spalding "Waterfall" Patent Golf Club
This is the
famous Spalding Waterfall Patent club. The name derives from the shape of the
deep grooves which cascade downward from the heel to toe of the face. The back
of the head contains all of the correct Spalding markings including the crow in
flight and the pertinent patent information. Like many of the patent clubs, the
waterfall iron was outlawed by the USGA in the early 1920's, in this case
because it applied too much backspin to the ball. Measures 36.5" long.
