Probably has a performance clause in his contract. In other words if he says the ball doesn’t do what he wants , he can play whatever until they get him one that will.

Not sure what you mean by "If true". He was playing a TM ball yesterday and today (presumably a TP5 like before). It was easy to see on close ups during coverage.

Not every Callaway staff player uses a Callaway ball. Kisner, Na, Stenson, Grace, Brice Garnett, Scott Brown and others play ProV1/ProV1x balls while being Callaway staff players. Garcia may have a clause in his to to allow him to play other gear until Callaway is able to produce something acceptable for him. Callaway has let Phil use other manufacturers clubs and Callaway allowed Xander S. to use other clubs until they were finally able to fit him into a driver and iron set he was comfortable with. This is only an issue with Sergio and Callaway is if there is no clause in his deal that allows him to do this.

It’s not a good optic for Callaway go have one of their big names switch whether under contract or not

Outside of places like WRX most people don't have any idea what ball Sergio Garcia uses.

Oh it’s very much a generalization on my part. My opinion/generalization etc is that the ball is not good at all, the irons are so-so, and their wood offerings are, meh. If their stuff works for you, then good for you, that’s all that matters, right?

Doubt it! The report wasn’t overly kind to the TP5 balls either. If Sergio had read it he’s be using B X, Z Star or either of the Pro V1 models.

It’s not that simple, though... other people notice and it can have a trickle effect... for instance, my club pro is a Taylor made pro... we stock tm and titliest balls... now if someone asks him for a chrome soft he can easily say, try the tm5, Sergio just switched back to it because it performed better for him.

 

That’s a significantly better sales pitch than try the tp5, I don’t have the chrome.

 

There is a reason pros get paid to game different equipment.

Still not a positive thing for Cally with this info getting out.

... Here is the thing with a robot ball test. It produces a baseline, but that's it. My playing pard and I both have around a 100 mph driver swing speed + or - 1 or 2 mph. I hit slightly up on my driver and he hits down on his driver creating much more spin than I do. So the same ball is gong to react differently for me and my hard than a robot. Of course he and I have radically different trajectories and spin with the same ball and I like the higher trajectory of the TP5x while he needs a lower trajectory ball.

 

... Obviously Sergio with his down cocking and late lag has a completely different swing than a robot, so the Ball Test would be completely irrelevant to him. No doubt Sergio/Taylor Made has done extensive LM testing and he has come back to the TP5's because it works best for him.
