Unusual 'golf club' shaped Hardcastle

[HoratioG]

Of one of the many pipes I inherited was this Pre-Dunhill Hardcastle family era Drawel . However I've not come across a shape like this before, is there a name for said shape, did any other pipe companies make a " golf club" pipe?

A French pipe marked "Golf"
I've often seen this pipe when perusing, it just always pops up. And I'll tell ya, I actually really like something about the shape. It's like an egg meets a 4 square - two shapes I like alot.
It's definitely interesting and you don't see it often. Looks like you've got a great example with some great grain. Congrats

That is a unusual shape, very nice grain! We don't see many Hardcastle pipes here.

You know what, I actually don't hate that shape! And I should, I really should! Neat!

I'd call it a Driver. Putter it could be.

I feel exactly the same way. That pipe is awesome

Dunhill did a 701 golf club,




and Comoy's had the 350 shape.

I wonder if we would see @hoosierpipeguy smoking one of these out on the links ️

Possibly but it would be an awful nice pipe for me to smoke on the course. Due to the danger of damage or loss, cobs are the pipe of choice for the golf course.

Very nice! A proper, vintage hardcastle is hard to beat!

Not here! Since I am the only pipe smoker in my club, the one time I left a pipe on the course, it was returned to me pronto. (Also not a fan of cobs)
As to damage, I smoke on shortish shots and putting, but a full shot I am afraid I bite through the stem.
