Molinari putters?

What putters are the Molinari brothers playing respectively?

Not exactly sure, but I think Francesco uses a Nike Method 003 and Edoardo uses a Yes! Callie

According to thetourvan.com Francesco played Odyssey White Ice IX 9 at the Ryder Cup.

Wrong, Nike method 3

Method 003 and is giving one away on FB. Also that putter looks really really short. How tall is he?

hcp +4, not bad.


McIlroy had +6 when he turned pro, as had Oosthuizen.

So pros are not all scratch already?

+4 means better than scratch.. not 4 handicap.

See the other comment. But! I think Poulter is stated as having hcp 4 when turning pro (not +4), and I think they mean -4 with that - so he wasn't even scratch when I turned pro. But talent and hard work has made him a great golfer.

People who turn pro late are mostly those who play college or represent their nation. I think guys like Poulter was working "ordinary" jobs as he fine tuned his skills, and by turning pro "early" in his career he could accept those small price money offered on minor tours - money he probably needed since he didn't have a scholarship or such.

Most people can turn pro today. The only thing that will happen is:
* you can accept money as prices
* you can't represent your country, or play for colleges etc.
* not certain you will be accepted by your local PGA as a member, but you'll still be a pro, though not a PGA member or a tour card holder of any sort

In many places the PGA still organizes both the competition and the teaching pros, though not in the USA.

Gents, go on facebook and "LIKE" [color=#1C2837]Francesco's fan page and you could have a chance to win a Method 003 putter... [/color]

I was watching the Portugal Masters today, I saw that FM was using a center shaft putter which looked like a white finish, Im thinkin either a Nike proto or possibly one of those new TM's the putter did have grooves though. What do you guys think?

That's the reason I'm in this thread. When he finished he was holding it so you could see the sole and IMO the writing looked like tm/rossa but I couldn't tell for sure.

The putter I saw him using today was a center shaft that definitely said "Rossa" on the back.

Edoardo plays a Yes! Callie and he's very solid with it.
Francesco has been switching putters for the past few weeks. He was gaming an Odyssey IX Halfmoon (can't remember the exact model) then switched to a Nike Method 003 for the Ryder Cup and is currently playing a TaylorMade Ghost that is center shafted, switched to it this week for the Portugal Masters. Man he was draining everything today!

Not sure which model it is. Suzuka? Fontana?

Looks like a Monte Carlo

Yes please i would like one of those,

Can't find one like Molinari's (Monte Carlo) but I did find a Bettinardi BC5 and it works great...I can do make do without the white.
