Dyna-Powered questions

Maybe you are thinking of the Turfrider woods, ...not the same animal. The Turfrider irons were groundbreaking design with multiple inputs from Wilson Staff players of the time.

 

ps I'm working on tacking up grips at present based on Majic's pine tar thesis. My hands at least are stinking of pine tar and as tacky as flypaper. I'll let you know how I get along when I transfer some from my hands to leather.

Obviously I just don’t know what I babbling about, Stix, as my years and models are muddled up so thanks. Your pine tar has me thinking of G. Brett.... Has the USGA ruled on that stuff yet?

You got me there, Chief. I know not of what you refer. G.Brett...who he??

 

George Brett - one of the great hitters of the modern baseball era. I suggest you google him in conjunction with pine tar. Hugely entertaining if nothing else :)

Thanks, that part of cultural history didn't reach my little corner.

 

May I offer something in return which possibly works in NZ but so much across the Atlantic.

The pine tar I have is a proprietory version which comes in a sticky viscous fluid called Stockholm Tar. It's used as a general livestock antiseptic but mainly for smearing on sheep's backsides to prevent fly strike. Different sort of strike from baseball. :)

I have a set of the '58 Dyna Powered, unfortunately less the sand wedge.

Is the repro/ remake an adequate substitute, how does it play, anyone?

 

Stix-

 

In an early '90s article in one of the golf magazines, Ben Crenshaw stated he .."found the '58 Dynapower Sand Wedge remake to be as good as the original."

 

The article also shows Crenshaw hitting a sand shot, with the "SAND WEDGE" and black plug clearly visible. It is possible Crenshaw used a '58 remake in his 1995 Masters win.

 

Perhaps Freddie might be able to confirm.

 

Sadly, the '58 Wilson Staff Dynapower Sand Wedge remakes were like the originals- RH Only.

 

Have posted photos of a LH Wilson Staff '59/60 Dynapower SW remake, with the "SDP 1841" stamp. .

 

Pic 3 is Crenshaw’s WITB for the ‘95 Masters with his reissue of the ‘58 SW.

Looks like Langer gamed one in 1993 too. His might be the original version. Maybe someone here can confirm that???

Turfrider 1I is the one on the right with the square toe. If that is a 1963 the 1964 is to its left in the middle. In contrast is a 1971-2 which seems to have a little more heft in the sole dunno. Hit all the three over a snow pile at the range last week and the Turf seems very solid.
