Tony Finau WITB: 2018 Farmers Insurance

[texcellence86]

That Piretti is pretty much ideal.

[RH82]

What’s the story behind the duct tape on the bag?

[Aaronwilson_95]

Previous place holder there was crewe.com

 

I’m gonna guess I. T. has Something to do with that

[Ironhorse723]

At his swing speed playing PING woods seems odd. They've never made the lowest spin heads. But I guess the contract $$$ must suffice haha.

he's not being paid by Ping...

i15, i20, i25, G30 LS Tec, G LS Tec, G400 LS Tec...

 

Not to mention, high SS doesn’t necessarily mean high spin. There are two lower spinning models right now in the PING lineup than the G400 Max, so I think Tony will be ok with a PING driver.

[DuckHook02]

Interesting that he is playing Modus 120x...would have thought something a bit more stout with his SS. But hey...I guess they work for Stenson as well.

[IH823PUTT]

Love that he's gaming the Accra stuff. They deserve more hype for how great they truly are!

[andrieddle]

I thought he's at least 130X or even X7 like JDay, but they work.

 

He was playing Ping putter not long ago which made people say he's going PING for sure, but now he's playing Piretti, yay to mix bag!

From his last WITB last year, he was playing the TX in his irons and the X in his wedges. His iron shaft is so worn it's hard to make out the flex, so I looked it up since I was surprised that he'd play an x in his irons.

[ace036]

Why do the openings of the Lamkin grips always curl backwards like the pic of the Black UTX grip?

Show me another player of his strength playing PING woods...minus Bubba*

Was at the Ping HQ in December and Cameron Champ was hitting driver from their "Tour" bay and over where we were at. Every ball he hit with driver sounded like a rocket taking off. Averages about 180 ball speed...

Show me many other players in his "category", period...that is to say, there's only a handful of guys on tour with his strength/club head speed, most of whom are sponsored to play another driver's brand anyways.

Brandon Hagy is crazy long. I know Cameron Champ played a PING driver at US Open. There's really not many out there that have the "strength/clubhead speed" of Finau. I think how ever many guys fall in that category, the ratio of PING vs others will fall in line with their ratio of sponsored golfers vs other manufacturers.

[alecfeltman]

I do like the fact that he's stilling using the Nike bag.

 

Tear.

[cvhookem63]

The bag is definitely weird. Here is what it looked like before back in 2016

 

 

After that, he was using a white Nike bag with Crewe branding

 

 

And a Navy Nike bag with Crewe branding

The idea that they can't adjust/modify the spin with hotmelt and shaft is silly. They can literally make about any club work for anyone with the right combinations. I don't know anything about that shaft, but it could be tipped 4", who knows??

Off hand? Strohmeyer, Champ, Hagy, Mullinax, Lovelady...

Tony's still on the top of their web site. Might have missed a payment! :o

The Anser driver might have been the lowest spinning of them all

Cameron Champ? Over 130 SS. Brandon Hagy, similar swing speed as well.

[Brizam]

Interesting to me that hes playing the G400 MAX driver. Id be willing to bet not many guys on tour using the 400 MAX. Going for the most forgiveness possible.

25% of Ping PGA Tour staffers are using the G400 Max, not including Finau
