MacGregor Hogan 1552 Speedwood with cross hatching Driver

Golfengineering ID: cucwd0905
Vintage: 1940's
Gender-Dexterity: men's right handed
Lifecycle: Used
Shaft type: Steel

Early laminated wood has cross hatched lines on face, quite unique since face has insert. The cross hatching began earlier and with laminated woods with plastic whipping covers out in the early 40's, it is possible this design is of that vintage. A horizontal lined 1552 came out in the late 40's so that brackets the release date of this model. Hogan became a MacGregor staffer in 1938. Overall, good wood with one shallow gouge in heel at sole. Great crown decal. Good whipping cover. Shaft good but some chrome chipping on underside mostly at head end; reasonable chrome sparkle. Replaced Neuman leather wrap grip is excellent. This wood is hittable as is.
