Saw a laminated wood driver (or "1+") at a thrift store and decided it was worth $2.01.  Club head is marked only "Riley Aerologic R-W Sole."  Shaft is a Riley G-26 made by Aldila and presumably graphite.   Light club, nice feel to it, original grip still good, swings real well.

Wood head has an unusual design, with part of the wood milled out in a "V" to form heel-toe weighting.

Anybody heard of Riley clubs?   Owned any?

Looked the name up on the internet and it seems John Riley worked for Ping and then set up his own company.  One of those design geniuses like Stan Thompson of Ginty, except that not much is available about his clubs.

From the presumably graphite shaft and unusual design, was this club made in the 1990s?   When were the last wooden-head clubs made?

Carry Bag, experimental mix-- 9* Integra 320, TT X100 Gold shaft
MacGregor Tourney 2-iron circa 1979

High grass club: #5 Ginty
Irons: 3,4,8,9 Cleveland 588P RTG Proforce 95 Gold shafts
Hogan fifty-three Hogan 5612
