This is a golf club. It is a Hillerich & Bradsby Powerbilt #4 driver with a patterned rubberized grip over a stepped, narrowing steel shaft. It has a laminated wooden head that features a brass bottom that is attached by four Phillips head screws and is stamped with the image of a horseshoe that surrounds the "4", with "Citation" stamped below that. The face of the head features a red plastic striking area with a large brass dot in the center, with a smaller brass dot on either side. There are five horizontal black lines across the face of the club. "Power Bilt" is painted across the top of the head and "5195C*" is in white on the back side. The ferrule is of wound steel wire that terminates in a brown wooden collar that has two bands of brass surrounding it. |
