Ferrule Art


Recommended Posts

I know the kids wear them short, but I still get a little weak in the knees for the long ferrules. I like when the grips and ferrules are so long they almost meet in the middle. This came home with me yesterday, an original Wilson Sand Iron...one of those clubs I've always wanted to hit at least once, and now I will. That's some strong Ferrule game.

I'm with you there!  

Must remember that line. 😃

It's not all about the score.

A few more putters. Left to right: PGA P75, Geo Nicoll Henry Cotton, Spalding Gene Littler, Chesterfield, and the last one only has GC-1 stamped on it.

PS I often notice Spalding spelled as Spaulding in posts on here. When I first wrote it as Spalding above it was auto corrected to Spaulding.

I don't know where Spaulding comes from. You have the club in your hand, the club is stamped "Spalding" That makes it a Spalding doesn't it?

Have wanted to ask this, but never found an appropriate thread.  GW and/or Golfsmith use to sell ferrule kits.  Bunch of different colored rings to roll your own ferrules. Now history. And searching around for ferrule rings of any flavor has not yielded results. Anyone know of a source for appropriately sized colored and clear rings?  They must be available somewhere as Boyd Blade & Ferrule are making unique (and pricy) ferrules.  Attempting to replicate classic ferrules is an impossible task.

Ask these guys maybe? I know not exactly what you're looking for, but they might point you the right direction

I know that putters follow their own rules, but this is the longest ferrule I've seen!

 

Hosel = 3 1/8"

Ferrule = 6 3/4"

Exposed part of Pyratone shaft = 7 3/4"

Grip = 14 3/4"

I wonder what the reason was for such a long ferrule? I can't think of it serving any practical purpose. Was it purely aesthetical?

I'm going to say it's all about aesthetics.  I like it and think it looks very classy. 

I can see why they might make such a long ferrule but I've never understood why the hosels were so long back then.  Why did they waste all that good weight up into the shaft?  I suppose it was just a hold-over from the big hosels needed in the hickory era but it still seems like a fairly large oversight that took several decades to figure out.

I can only think it was all about the looks. That, or they're compensating for other shortcomings!

The long hosels are interesting. Did they not realise it was a poor use of weight distribution, or was it simply for looks? I have  to admit, I like long hosels, even on old irons, but I also understand from a design standpoint that they're not a good idea.

Oh yes, I too like the long hosels.  I just find it fascinating how obvious changes like that can take so long to discover.  Long held beliefs and traditions are sometimes hard to get past for us humans.  😁
