The looks of the PXG irons have grown on me. I would love to have the opportunity to hit them.

[gioguy21]

that is one seriously expensive driver

[youngwaldo]

That is some serious lead tape on that wedge.

Anyone got about $3000 I can borrow?

[mdb0103]

Crazy to switch so soon like that...

 

I'd love to know how that all works? I assume he's under some sort of contract with Nike, and then he dumps them for a new set?

[chiguy]

Very interesting to see a change this close to a major. Though I'm sure he's been practicing with the clubs for quite some time.

HZRDUS T1100 shaft AND a custom ground Callaway PM-grind lob wedge. Cool!

Is that a Nike GW or PW lurking in the bag, next to the other wedges?

Most all the PXG guys took some time to get their wedges just right. Zach had his Vokeys in the bag for a while. Charl is working on the wedges and fairway wood with the PXG people to get them dialed in but for now will use a few Nike clubs.

Missing a screw in his driver on purpose?

[cvvorst]

Will they be releasing that HZRDUS T1100 to the public?

They have grown on me too. Rumor has it that they are rather expensive set of clubs. Still worth a test

[vjswing]

Thanks, Greg! As someone that has used a particular set of wedges for a ridiculously long time, I completely understand.

[azayas21]

PXG majority, Nike 3w and 2 Iron and PM lob wedge.....nice set

what putter is in the bag?

[stage1350]

Missing a screw in his driver on purpose?

 

I noticed that as well. Wonder if losing a screw will render the club non-conforming as it did on the SLDR?

I was wondering that too! That is a lot of screws in the woods, irons and wedges to worry about during a round. Be a shame to lose a major due to a lost screw.

what putter is in the bag?

I heard that he is gaming a Ping.

I heard that he is gaming a Ping.

 

Wasn't a Ping on the practice green. Looked like a Fat lady swings. There's a couple of photos in the Wednesday albums of Charl putting.

Why aren't more staffers using the black irons. Black irons matter.

I don't think so, http://www.pgatour.com/equipmentreport/2016/06/15/true-temper-unveils-new-shaft.html

 

I wonder how much $ it would be?

Isn't that the putter he won the Masters with? I think it used to be his dads.

In a few pics you can clearly see a Bobby Grace Fat Lady...I am curious if it custom or vintage.

[joeferb]

 

 

I love it.

 

also what is under the sock sleeve next to the Nike wedge???

[PreppySlapCut]

Fat Lady Swings w/ no insert if I remember correctly. FJ Shoes, Kjus clothing, PXG clubs...strong stuff.

So strange. Like seeing Durant in a Warriors jersey. Have just always associated Charl with Nike.

Not only that...he got off the purist boat into shark infested waters. What's next, RLX ultra slim line of clothing?

 

edit: anyone in the know on what avg pxg contract is paying these days..just curious?

Don't do that man. Please. But most of them don't like black finishes on irons. Shows wear a lot faster.

[liongolf_ike]

All looks pretty good. GREAT choice with the T1100 shaft! HZRDUS is the real deal. Looks like Charl followed in Justin Leonards wake to KJUS. Have never tried the stuff but hear it is good.
