HICKORY shafts are coming back
i / INTO general use among the pro-
fessionals and better golfers OF
this section. A definite swing BACK
from steel shafts toward hickory is IN
evidence hereabouts, as the pros VINO
have played with steel shafts for
year or two experiment with tnelr olo
hickory shafts once more. Fred Nc
Leod hickory shaft man if there ever
was one, went to steel about year
ago and STAYED with the steel shafts
for a year. But now Freddie is coming
back to wood shafts. In his golf bag
there are two or three steel shafts, but
most of his clubs now are shafted with
hickory. Archie Clark. the flne-play-
ing young assistant at Congressional,
used steel shafts for many months, but
Archie now has gone back to WOOD,
which he alternateS with steel. BOD
Barnett of Chevy Chase never has gone
aWav from wood Bob always has
preached the gospel Of hickory shafts,
even when the steel shaft mania was
at its height, and when most OF the
pros we're going over to steel sha1tS.
Throughout it all Barnett stayed with
hickory, and now it gives him quite
kick to see some of the other boys 60
ing back to wood.
