Luke Donald WITB: 2017 Waste Management Open

[GolfWRX]

[RH82]

Want that putter and those grips so bad!

[ldgriff07]

A lot of guys going to the JPX900 Tour. Says an awful lot about the line that used to be viewed as Mizuno's more "game improvement" side. I know Mizuno will tell you JPX is more the technology line while MP is more the purity line, but still seeing tour players switch out of MP is pretty incredible, I think.

[Beastmode Broker]

don't mind this bag at all

[SwingLikeElk]

Go Luke!

[Gnomesteel]

MUST HAVE JPX900 TOUR IRONS

[15th Club]

Interesting to see yet another guy, who has obviously been given a chance to test the 2017 M family, immediately put the '17 M1 3w in play. But kept his 2016 M2 driver in the bag.

These grips are amazing.....if only we could get them

[bigeasy]

has a 15 degree 3 wood and a 16 degree hybrid, what are the actual specs? My 16.5 degree hybrid is as long or longer than my old flyz+ 3 wood, that is why I took it out of the bag

[prorobo]

Those JPX Tours look pretty snazzy. That Speeder Tour Spec hybrid shaft has been around the block a few times too.

[coconut]

would really like to win again on the tour soon.

[kratt11]

I need that putter!

[LONG&STR8]

His driver and FW wood shafts have been around the block too. Don't see the flex on his irons?

I've posted this before, in my opinion, the JPX900 Tours are a direct competitor to the AP2's, the forged are a bit more game improvement, and the hot metals are more in line with the AP1's.

For Luke to put the 900 Tour irons in the bag just shows me how good they must be.

Luke does not change irons very often.

Seams like he has been a TM driver guy for a long time now.

Better performance or Tee up $$$$? Or both?

No name player cares about $1500. Luke is a millionaire 30 times over. He, and every other name player play what gives them the best chance to win, unless contractually obligated otherwise. Tee up money of any kind is 100% irrelevant to anyone who's name you recognize.

[BCULAW]

I want that 60* wedge in my bag. The blue is a little funky, but that grind is AWESOME!

[azayas21]

For someone who was an MP Line player , FOREVER, to see him make the change to the new JPX line shows alot about the line and what Mizuno brings to the table. THink about it, alot of players have Mizunos in their bag but wont sign the contract to be Staffers.

Yeah, he's been playing that Accra or a version of it for years. Glad to see him sticking with it. He's played S300 forever so it's probably that.

Well, he has been paid to use the Taylormade driver in the past. Just checked the Taylormade staff site and he's not listed there currently (not sure if that's accurate), he still has them as a partner on his personal webpage.

 

I think as far as drivers go, you know Taylormade is always going to have a very competitive product so if they've historically paid more than others, might as well go for it. Probably covers your expenses if you miss the cut that week.

There's certainly a difference between being on staff and tee up pennies. That difference is about 500k vs 25k a season.

If I remember correctly from a Mizuno video a long time ago he plays S300s. They probably just slap a generic Tour Issue sticker on them.

[kiw1982]

Mizuno got to make him bagging jpx900 driver!!!

[xjohnx]

Serious question: Do any tour pros play the mizuno woods?

[RH82]

LD has had them in the bag in the past but they never seem to last. Its a shame because they make some great woods. I remember seeing a WITB just last year with an old school mizuno fairway wood in the bag but I can't think of his name.

[gogolf]

Curious to see if he's still playing the x100s in his irons or went back to s300s

[mahonie]

Ross Fisher has switched to the JPX 900 Tour as well after trying out MP4s and 5s and I think Faldo was bagging them in South Africa a couple if weeks ago...must be some club.

Pretty sure Faldo is playing the 900 forged and not the tour.

[howeber]

Grind on that 60* is sick.

If he was getting paid by TM I would think he would have TM head covers not the Mizuno ones.
