Thanks for the find.

 

They held it up for a few seconds, and the thing looks like it has a lot of sliding weights from front to back (think of an F6+ with two more tracks on either side).

 

There seemed to also be a large silver weight attached near the back but doubt that will make it to the final release. Maybe it's just a prototype or on there for SW purposes?

Forget the driver, what's up with Luke playing a center shafted #7?

 

I think he's been playing that for a couple of tournaments.

Great vid don't know many guys would take the time to play for fun like that. All I can see on pic is water mark...someone at Mizuno likes blue! Also cool Luke likes the blue wedge. Thanks OP

Taylormade pays a lot more than Mizuno for putting the driver in the bag.

Luke is the Premier driver tester for Mizuno, but relies on TaylorMade to make his living.

 

Which Accra shaft is that?

 

I've always admired his game, look how he ate those short holes for breakfast! I like watching the long ball, but love watching an average/shorter hitter dissect a course. Luuuuuuuuuuuke!!

No problem. It appears that Luke may of been a little annoyed with Mark in that third video. For the love of God Mark let Luke talk.

 

Why is Crossfield now in all videos, whyyy......

 

He's insufferable.

I wish Mizuno would come out with a adjustable shaft MP650. That would be something I could not pass up!

Great point, and once I get fit for any of them I never touch 'em...screws that is. I read several older reviews here last night one good one comparing Bertha to DBD and disagreement from one to another on fade bias and other launch/flight characteristics. Set it and forget it.

Ha. This is spot on.

 

You are exactly correct! This video was filmed right before the BMW at Wentworth. Getty Images shows Luke back to playing to Taylormade M2 in the tournament so the testing must not have lasted very long.

The Wednesday pics from the Memorial confirm that Luke still has the Taylormade M2 driver in the back.
