Made from Granger steel by Mac and Mac of Oak Park, Illinois, Pearson irons have slots that extend all the way through the face. These slots allowed this club to function as a water iron, but it was designed with an additional purpose: backspin.  Pearson irons were advertised as "all purpose" and, to collectors, rank among the most desirable water and rake irons. The have a bold visual design and few are known.  The replacement grip on this iron is newer sueded leather that matches up well with the club.
