Bobby Jones began putting with his original Calamity Jane™ after a friendly round at the Nassau CC on Long Island before competing in the 1923 U.S. Open.
The brother of Stewart Maiden (Jones’ teacher) heard Jones complain about his putting, and handed him a putter he had named for the famous female sharpshooter from the Old West. Jones holed a 30-foot putt on his first try and kept the putter in his bag to win the U.S. Open days later.
Being an explosive personality, Jones’ Calamity Jane putter almost split several times. He applied three whipping applications around the Hickory shaft to firm it up. Our Calamity Jane™ replica is exact, including the three whipping points.
Specifications:
Our THUMPER Max oversized Persimmon driver is our largest wood head. It is carved out on a 300cc chassis providing a visually larger impression while maintaining the 250cc size (displace of water when dipped) for optimal performace.
The size of the THUMPER Max Driver goes well with longer and lighter graphite shafts, which is the main component in hitting the ball greater distances. It is a rare driver with a singular purpose — go long.
Our Transitional Woods are an exact copy of an original J. Wilson club. Transitional woods are slightly shorter from toe to heel than long nose woods. The long nose club was gradually made shorter until it was completely replace by the compact bulger head at the turn of the century. The transitional woods existed in the middle of this “transition” from long nose to bulger. Over several years of feedback from players we have decided to only offer our splice neck clubs with the insert. The traditional construction of splice neck clubs takes an extraordinary amount of time. Therefore please allow up to 8 weeks of production time at the time of your order.
