Face Treatments
Chapter seven documents those clubs whose faces are not solid, level, or flat. Such clubs as rake irons, water irons, window blades, backspin irons, and cylinder putters are presented. So, too, are negative loft, concave face, convex face, multiloft, drilled face, step face, curved face, bulger face, ridge face, and dual face clubs.
This Roger Brown rake iron was covered under a James Roger's British patent dated May 10, 1904. Rake irons were used when the ball was in high grass or water. (It should be noted that the rules for casual water were not always what they are today.)
