Nodded Golf Climb Heads.

The development Of q special grade
OF textolite, compound from which
golf club heads may be nodded, has
been announced by engineers of the
General Electric Co. The base of this
special grade Of textolite is army can
vas or duck, which Is interlocked in
such a way that there Is no definite
grain, but homogeneous structure Of
great strength and toughness. Weight
for weight, it is nearly as strong as mild
steel and over 40 times as resilient.
Its softness gives q unique "feel" to
the club. its high residence gives
longer and more easily controlled ball,
as has been proved by tests on driving
machines.
Because these heads are nodded In
tightly-closed steel molds, there is uni
formity in shape, lie, weight and bal
ance. Variation in weight Is accom-
plished right In the mold and there Is
no after-weighing of the club head.
