Two mail clubs and a ball, London, England

In 1845 a set of mail clubs and a ball were found in Pall Mall in London. The ball with a weight of 160 grams seems to be rather light for being used with clubs weighting both more than 700 grams. The shafts have an average length of 110 centimetres. The lofts of the extremities of the head were 5% respectively 15%.
