Clubs are comprised of three basic parts: the clubhead, the shaft and the grip. Think of the hosel as the “socket” that the shaft goes into.

The Will linebacker has to be quick and agile, and able to move laterally with the ball carrier to force the run inside....

Ah, the good old days…remember when a big jar of petroleum jelly sat on many a bathroom shelf, waiting for touchup day.

Not every stylist does this in the salon, but some still do....
