Thank goodness he's going away from the AD-IZ....Ventus will be a good fit for him.

This! I can’t believe he hasn’t switched away from the AD-IZ until now..hopefully he finds more fairways and gets his game back.

[Whiskey_fire]

The IZ was the worst idea ever for him.

Please release the T grind so I can stop hoarding them when they pop up on the bay.

Fujikura Ventus!!! Was wondering why his driving was better;)

[mBiden2]

When did he put the ventus in the bag?!? Guess I should’ve paid a little bit more attention during his rounds at the PGA

[MakersMarsh3]

Definitely looked like the IZ at the PGA

my thoughts as well? also curious why everyone thinks Ventus is the cure?

[rukahs]

I came here for the putter.

[MattyO1984]

Love that setup! One of the setups on tour that you could imagine good players at your club rocking.

why is that? genuinely curious. Thought it had a somewhat similar profile to the DI which he clearly still loves.

[Titletown]

i love spieth's bag. hope he's finally figured it all out again.

[agood3putt]

looks like this week is the first week hes putting the Ventus in the bag.

Velocore... It is like auto-correct for the driver. Without the odd sexual innuendo that ends up being sent to your mom.

[Shanks2424]

WOW a shaft change. I hope this stays in the bag and is the change he needs to get back on track. I enjoy watching him play.

[bladehunter]

Go back to the rogue !!

Still an awesome shaft! Seemed like it was in everyones bag a few years ago and now you hardly see them.

The rep changed companies.

[Valtiel]

He did have his best driving year with the Rogue Black, I wonder why he ever went away from that. The Ventura is a similar profile though, curious to see how that goes!

[Dreadzombie]

Seems like he played well today, maybe the slump is over? Would love to see him playing his best again.

[Whiskey_fire]

In my opinion the IZ is low spinning compared to his historical normal style shaft in driver. I thought that’s when he started really struggling with driver.

A surprisingly simple set up. No exotic grinds or prototypes. Just a set of tools.

You’re gonna want to slap me. But I have to point out that his lob wedge actually has “ tour proto” stamped right on it. Lol. Just bustin your chops. lol

That's funny right there.

Possibly, yeah. I remember an article where Titleist talked about fitting him into the 915 and saying his spin was too low with his old Blueboard and that the Rogue Black was used to bring his spin up a bit. If his spin was down yet again in the TS head, which seems likely, then maybe it was a matter of finding the right shaft again. The Ventus is stiffer in both the butt and the tip over the IZ and i'm curious what his numbers were/are now. I think the article said he normally shoots for around 2,500 spin.

Right, my understanding was that the Ventus is just as low or lower spinning.

[My2Dogs]

Got my fingers crossed the Ventus helps him out. I think it was more interesting when he was playing well. He hasn’t been hitting fairways yet but it seems to help him miss only one way so far. Hopefully he figures it out and starts driving it better.

[pdaero]

I think that the IZ had too soft of a midsection for his swing, promoting a little more errancy. I really hope for the best with the Ventus - so far, it's been about the same accuracy..

[J_Tizzle]

Spieth is in the "too short to hit it that crooked" camp (as am I). While not short by any means, he can't seem to overpower a course from the long stuff.

 

Always enjoyed watching him play at his best, hope he gets back there soon.
