We were designing and mfg. POP displays for La Jolla Club when they asked if we could design club heads for them. They wanted a club with two fins for styling. While working on the club head we suggested putting a fin centered and in the back to act as a keel like on a boat when the club cuts through the grass. It worked extremely well and they were able to secure patents on the fin design.
