I’m ready to see TWs M3 440 driver...

[TheMoneyShot]

Looking forward to Greg’s pics of TWs bag this week! Hopefully it will be today:)

Will you be getting a 440 if Tiger has one in his bag?

Artisan irons. Nike wedges. Udi , GSS Cameron 17 m1 3 wood. 16 m2.

you really think he won't rock an m3 or m4???

[NSiman17]

I think he'll have the new TM "proto" irons in play by the masters but could be this week. Also M3 will most likely be in play this week also, hopefully TM can build a wedge for him soon also or he'll put some artisans in there

[SigmaKyle31987]

Here’s my guess...

 

Driver: M3 440 or his “snowflake” M2 (leaning the first option)

Fairway Woods: M3 15* & M3 19* (might go with UDI 2-Iron instead of 5-Wood) or 17 M1 15* & M1 19*

Irons: TW Protos or TGR’s (if not this tournament than maybe by Augusta)

Wedges: Nike or TGR’s or maybe Artisan’s; dark horse: TM

Putter: Cameron Newport 2 (Duh!)

Ball: Bridgestone Tour B XS

I’ll be getting one regardless. Club ho sickness.

Not on ballspeed alone. Probably 50/50 shot

[Fort Worth Pro]

I think he'll have the new TM "proto" irons in play by the masters but could be this week. Also M3 will most likely be in play this week also, hopefully TM can build a wedge for him soon also or he'll put some artisans in there

 

I would be willing to bet a large sum of money those irons aren't in the bag this week. Also doubt you see any wedge changes anytime soon. Not exactly inside info but see and hear things around and putting 2&2 together.

Does Greg still work for WRX? Thought he was done or retired

Will you be getting new PXGs if Parsons tells you to?

Really hoping for something new and unexpected to be sitting in the bag.

If they can't beat me then I don't take their advice.

If Tiger told me to get a 440 then I would be all over it!

 

If Tiger has the 460 in his bag will you get one of those also? lol

That's the one I'm interested in

Same thought process I used to never pick up PXG, no matter how hard you’ve tried.

 

Personally I think the M4 will be the winner for most of us.

Part 1 of the equipment testing sit down interview that Jonathan Wall did with TW is awesome. Here is a snippet and a link to the whole thing:

 

https://www.pgatour....ng-session.html

With iron testing in the rearview, Woods switches gears to drivers and the search to find something that can unseat "Snowflake," the nickname bestowed upon his '16 M2 driver due to its one-of-a-kind qualities. Woods, who asks that the TrackMan numbers not be normalized during the range session, jokingly picks out a guy in a yellow shirt on the far right end of the double-sided range as the target, then begins to pump balls with an 8.5-degree M4 driver outfitted with a Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei CK Pro White 70TX shaft. (Note: Woods tested multiple drivers but all of them had the same CK Pro White 70TX shaft.)

 

"The [M4] looks great," Woods says. "But it's just a touch open to me. It's floating out there a bit."

When the driver produces a higher launch than what he's accustomed to, he moves the loft sleeve down one click and gets a flight that's "definitely flatter."

For a guy who played his first competitive tournament in 10 months at the Hero World Challenge in December and just got back into the groove of practicing on a regular basis, Woods doesn't show any signs of rust. Save for the occasional mis-hit, Woods brought his A-game to the range. That's evident from the 125-126 mph head speed and 181 mph ball speed that's producing 12-plus degrees of launch and upwards of 316 yards of carry on a regular basis.

 

Woods is then handed a 9.5-degree M3 460 that looks a bit upright to him at first glance, so a 8.5-degree head is brought in in hopes of solving the issue. Asked during the session if he notices TaylorMade's new Twist Face design at address - the driver face is slightly curved in the high toe and low heel to improve mis-hit performance - Woods said, "I don't see it at all. ... Just need to test and get a feel for how it performs."

 

It only takes a few minutes for Woods to notice the 8.5-degree driver is still too upright. He goes back to his current M2 and takes a solid rip at the ball, producing a soft fade that goes 340 yards.

"Best drive I've hit all day," Tiger notes.Still searching for a suitable replacement, Sbarbaro suggests Woods try a 9-degree M3 440 that has a similar head shape to the smaller-headed drivers he's played for much of his career. "I like it a lot," Woods says after the first few waggles with the club.

 

The results are equally impressive as he produces 310 yards of carry, 12 degrees launch, 2,500 spin right off the bat. Hoping to knock some spin off and showcase the adjustability the driver offers, Sbarbaro pushes the weights forward to the front of the track and has Woods hit another. Moving the weights forward causes Woods to lose a bit of forgiveness, but Sbarbaro notes it will help him gain speed and workability - two things he's always looking for in a new driver.

 

The results with the tweaked 440cc head are quite possibly the best of the day: 322 yards of carry, 15 degrees launch, 2,100 spin. "All right, that's a perfect tournament ball," Woods says of the shot that fades slightly before finding the imaginary fairway.

 

With the session wrapping up, Woods seems upbeat about his prospects of finding a new driver. "I'm excited," he tells Sbarbaro and Bazzel, "but I still need to do a lot more work on the range and course."

The session concludes with Woods being asked to hit a M3 that's a half-inch longer than his current setup - known as "Dustin Johnson's length" - for the sake of testing, but Woods immediately notices an air bubble in the grip that doesn't feel right. Chances are almost any recreational golfer on the planet wouldn't have picked up on the defective grip, but then again, Woods isn't any golfer.

A true club ho would buy both:)

[BirdieBob]

Let us know how your testing goes with both....I'll only get one of them as I don't qualify as a WRX ho yet, but with your tutelage I am getting closer. :)

Great read!

Just sell one of your beloved PXG clubs and buy both.....

 

BP will not be too mad at you...

Sold 'em all months ago like a WRX ho and moving on..........!

With your help I will recover.

 

I think Tiger WILL have the M3 440 in play and that will garner huge ink on the subject.

Can't wait for pics from Greg and the media....should be very interesting.
