Ben Hogan 1953 Commemorative Persimmon 1 Wood Driver
This is a Ben Hogan 1953 persimmon wood driver. The right-handed club head is crafted from dark-stained persimmon wood and features a red face insert secured by four brass screws in a diamond pattern, accented by horizontal white scoring lines. The brass sole plate is held in place by five screws and is marked with a large numeral 1 on the toe side. A circular medallion at the center of the plate displays a profile silhouette of Ben Hogan in his signature flat cap with the year 1953 inscribed beneath it. The heel side of the plate is stamped HOGAN, while the top edge is stamped OIL HARDENED and K82046. The crown of the club head features an incised Ben Hogan script signature. The club is equipped with a stepped chrome steel shaft and a classic brown leather wrap grip. The bottom of the grip features gold-toned lettering that reads GENUINE NEUMANN calf.
