Tiger Woods WITB: 2018 Wells Fargo (New TW-PHASE1 irons)

[blblco02]

Yea those irons are definitely Nike VR Pro copies. Right down to the extra grooves which was Nike technology at the time.

Looks to me like TM bought the mold from Nike and machined a different logo. Maybe the top lines are a little more square from front to back (not heel to toe).

 

Molds are for castings, Dies are for forgings, hopefully they didn’t buy molds from Nike.

Pics of the year so far.

 

The putter looks awesome

I'm surprised only 1 other person mentioned the "Artisan" serial # stamping on his new irons. Pretty certain TM had Artisan make this proto set for them since they have/know the exact specs TW likes in his irons and wedges. These look like exact models from the TGR/VR Pro/orig Nike forged blades he has preferred for so many years.

Fantastic pictures. Thanks Greg!!

[rymail00]

Awesome pics.

 

Is it possible that instead TRG or whatever was on his latest set that TM just engraved one of probably many, many sets of irons? I imagine TW has a stockpile of backup matching replicas to his old Nike irons.

[DFS PFD]

So it definitely looks like Artisan made Tiger's clubs this time, who will be producing the retail version mentioned in the other thread and confirmed by TM? (certainly not artisan) Or will they just be similar looking TM forgings for the mass offering?

Tough crowd .... and I stand corrected.

 

There looks to be a touch of difference in the heel side compared to the Reed 8 iron. If the two clubs aren't twins they are for sure siblings.

Great pictures!

 

But you gotta love people crapping their pants over these irons. They look great but they're at least a 95% match to the old VR Pros right down to the muscle shape, heel profile, grooves on the face, lack of offset, etc, etc. Like no one remembers what that set even looked like anymore let alone how great a set of irons they were!

 

Just noticing the hosel PR's 8 iron looks a little kinked out like it was bent a few degrees flat.

Lol.These are 7 yards longer due to the TM logo. No shame in copying the best. They were awesome irons. I'll never sell mine.

Impressed with how beat up his putter is. I couldn't stare down at that top line. Doesn't trust Scotty to make him a new one? haha

 

Tiger believes this putter is blessed

Tiger are hand made I don’t think Reeds are. More weight in TWs heads too

[Railroading13]

Just a clean, functional, beautiful looking bag of clubs

BZ on the pics!!!!!

i would bet the radi and shoulder of those grooves match up to his golf ball of choice very well , he was always a fan of curving the ball

these irons are solid and traditional, nice radiusing in the crotch , hosel area

[Asiangolfer1995]

Nice Taylormade Vr Pro Blades (Nothing wrong with playing something you're familiar with), I wonder what wedges they're gonna make for him...

I bet his new wedges will be forged...

[Wedge Ninja]

There’s almost no need to use a putter headcover anymore Tiger! That putter definitely has some character ??

[95124hacker]

Tiger’s an old man now. He needs to play SGI shovels.

[BreakingPar]

Butter my toast! Damn those knives are sexy!

 

[hwwong]

I thought that TM logo in the corner was the Mizuno 'M' for a second.

[Titleist_ho]

Wish all players cb's and blades had that little of offset.

I almost see a little onset

Amen!

Congrats to the TM guys. They worked hard to get him in a set of irons.

[CCUgolfer23]

The most underrated shot of them all is the shot of those FRESH flower/tie dye pants in the first few pics.

Tiger doesn't like change, and he's never played forged wedges, so I doubt it.
