Early stainless 7 wood featuring the 'Power Kick' shaft. The name indicates the function of the shaft. These shafts were offered alongside more conventional stepped steel. The shaft has a wear burn mark at the inflection point but has been buffed out. There is also a dent in the shaft just above the inflection but it's on the underside and not visible at address. The shafts were one of many club innovations by Northwestern (the Power kick was designed for graphite around 2012). Regular flex, new grip, 40".
