Do you know what grip he has on the putter?

Thanks!

[Rackman2013]

I don't get the lob an gap wedge choice. He would know better than I though

[pappaf2]

Nice pictures as always. Do you happen to know if he has any sort of custom grind on those i25 wedges?

I don't know for sure but it looks like the SW is stock and the LW has had some grinding done. May have just had some bounce taken off it as he has it at 59deg I believe rather than the stock 58deg. Nice setup. Cheers

No ping 3 wood ? Ping 3 woods are pretty long and straight...

L wedge looks like back, heel, and toe grind.

Agreed. Ping i20 is the best I've ever had and I've tried many 3 woods recently. My guess is he was looking for a driver alternative off the tee (not sure why because he's one of the best drivers of the ball on tour). I'm surprised he's not using the new Rapture "frankenwood". Also, I don't understand the i25 SW and LW. I can't imagine he's trying to hit the ball higher with his wedges?

another one curious about the i25 wedges

L wedge is the ping bounce grind

The sand wedges are pretty much the most anti chunk clubs you can find. Probably still has nightmares from the Ryder Cup.

[Caldymat]

like are some not that bothered and have 1 or some xtra picky and want 2 at the top 3 at the bottom etc

The i25's actually have a higher COG than the S55's. So they will not flight the ball higher in a wedge, even thought they're generally "marketed" as the more "forgiving" design
