Offered here is a circa 1928 Mensing Swingrite brassie fitted with a patent "Limbershaft" which was a rattan and hickory compound shaft. As the name would suggest, the limbershaft is extremely flexible. Excellent condition.
This club originates from the famed Jeff Ellis Collection, and this exact club was featured in his books The Clubmaker's Art (TCA 1, p. 509; TCA 2, p. 641). This club has not reached the collector market since its sale at the 2007 Sotheby's auction of the Jeff Ellis Collection.
