    Hey,

    Found an old golf club in the house. Wondering what it is, it's a Slazenger wooden club, screws on the face of it and it says 1L.
    Anyone know what it stands for?

    I used have an old wooden Slazenger driver. I think the 1 L stands for Ladies 1 Wood, or Ladies Driver. The screws on the face were normal on the older wooden heads. I recall a friend who was a fairly long hitter using a Ladies flex driver for a spell, he was a low handicapper and very solid off the tee. Of course shaft flexes are alot more understood today and probably alot better than back in the 80's.
    I am only guessing the L is for ladies but it seems logical, is the shaft very flexible?
    I found an old wooden driver myself, a Dunlop I used use at one time, must give it a few wallops at the range soon.

    Not very flexible at all really. It also has the letters ADL in a black rectangle on it, they're a bit worn but I think that's right.
