Joaquin Niemann - WITB shot @ 2018 Valero Texas Open

[grm24]

Tony Finau anyone?

Why does it seem like guys with all ping never win(except bubba)?

 

Tony Finau?

His one win on the PGA Tour in 2016 was with Nike clubs.

You guys do realize that all those "free agents" for lack of a better term that play TaylorMade drivers are getting paid right? They pay 2x more than anyone else for just a driver deal.

TM didn't use Brooks Koepka's name in its advertising last year after he won the US Open with an M2 driver and 3w. They couldn't since he wasn't under contact (accepting money) to use them. Same as Mizuno with his irons.

1 DJ (M3)

2 Rahm (M4)

3 = F. Molinari (2017 M2)

4 = Tommy Fleetwood (M3)

5 Chappell (M3)

6 = Ryan Palmer (2016 M1)

7 = Brendan Steele (2017 M2)

8 Glover (M3)

9 Rose (M3)

10 = Bubba Watson (PING G400)

 

If Molinari, Fleetwood, Palmer, and Steele were paid to use Taylormade drivers, wouldn't Taylormade promote them by name like Kevin Chappell and Lucas Glover?

72-70 to make the cut. Good start!

[IcemanYVR]

Nice bag for having just turned pro? Was he a Ping player prior to signing his club deal?

 

Can't believe the size of that three wood, cant be much larger than a Chiclet.

[DivotDepth]

Another win for PING (and 2nd place) this afternoon! Congrats to Landry!

Yes, believe he only change his clothes deal

 

[MattGolfs]

Anyone know if this Vault Anser 2 will come to retail?!

[BetterAtBingo]

Any update on his current bag? I thought he showed a ton of heart and grit yesterday to win going away.

[nova6868]

Pretty sure the putter isn't accurate. Says he was playing Vault Anser with PP58 grip. All the pictures seem to show an awesome WRX Anser 2 with a Super Stroke.

 

[johngalt312]

He used to use a Ping TR 1966 Anser 2 (Ping grip); he is currently using/won with a Ping Vault 2.0 Dale Anser Platinum (SuperStroke grip).

Kid has been reading my Tiger-stepped wedge experiment thread.

I thought the same but, are you sure? Ping's website is pretty specific and usually says hardstep or softstep. His wedges just say PX 6.5.

 

[T-3]

Any update on his putter from RBC? Looked like there were some heel/toe weights(?) in his PLD.

[Philflop1]

Ping has some good young staff.

[nova6868]

I noticed the same thing. Actually I noticed nearly all the PING staffers in contention this week had a really sweet PLD putter.

 

[MakersMarsh3]

New putter looked to be a sick PLD proto dalehead Anser with an oil can/raw and some tungsten

Unbelievably pure

[Mr. Grumpy]

Yeah, it looked awesome...
