Well ahead of its time, presented here was perhaps the first successful attempt to create a wood that utilized equal weight distribution to ensure that shots would go straight regardless of where exactly the ball was hit on the face. See The Clubmaker's Art (2nd Ed.) by Jeffery B. Ellis, page 356. This is the circa 1920 Waverley Horton "Wonder Club." This "combination wood" contains a wood and aluminum head. The head of the club is stamped with the patent date of December 1920. Measures 41 3/4".
