Jordan Spieth - 2018 WITB

[GolfWRX]

[RH82]

Is he seriously playing with a chunk out of the grip?

[Z1ggy16]

That grip is so beat up. Is he superstitious? Why would you not change that?

[GolfGuitarsCars]

He's playing in running shoes?

[Njames.cook2014]

Hoping Spieth bounces back this year.

[Wdwfreak]

Wow finally got him out of the 915s... And in 10.5 and an AD-IZ in the fairway wood.

 

I think as far as the grips go I've heard various places he's extremely hesitant to change, he wants it to work and that's the end of it. Like the 915s. It must extend to the grips, he always gets that flatso 1.0 looking like that every time before he switches. As far as the regular grips I think it's the same, but it isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for Superstroke

[Number2]

He's playing in running shoes?

I saw that and was wondering the same thing. Even if UA has him in 2019 spikes for this tournament and they're keeping them a secret, why choose running shoes over last year's spikes? Anyone have info about whether he stuck with the sneakers on the course today?

[doublepar93]

I’ve never seen anyone wear grips down that far. On all his witb over the last few years, his grips are always so beat up.

[DRRicks]

Does he sand down the edges of his Flatso?

[sandtrap]

It’s a reminder grip:)

Isn't that last picture on-course? Looks like it, who knows why he's in sneakers, interesting really.

I guess its why Michael (his caddy) has to come over with a towel twice every shot to make sure the club doesn't slip.

[WidespreadPanic]

Greller must use sandpaper to dry off that Flatso. It’s worn down even on the bottom half that he doesn’t even grip. My Flatso 1.0 is worn down and losing color but nothing like that.

[semarlor]

Guessing he just took the shaft from the 915 and moved it over? That's the only way the grip would be worn that much. I always try to guess when he will get a fresh flatso, I doubt I will ever put enough hours on a putter grip to make it look like that (as if I ever keep a putter long enough, either.)

[DBake]

What weight in that driver?

eh.. if you dont change them often its not hard to do.. I hate changing mine , so i usually have finger marks in the short irons toward the end..or cords dangling etc ...

john Daly practices bare foot ... for balance he says.. this cant be worse than that ..lol

[Zach Heusser]

I’ve got one of those IZ shafts coming for my driver. I can’t wait !

[Downtime]

I like the new setup! Solid!

[Bdmac79]

What weight in that driver?

 

+4.

Well there is a turn up for the books, did not expect for a second to click on to this and see a TS driver in the bag so to see that a TS fairway in there is a real surprise. Even at the end of least season he had a 917 on his 915 so he wasn't even trying to make it seem like he was using a TS. Titleist must be delighted to have gotten him into it. Also judging by his Instagram he is at least testing the 2019 Pro V1x this week as well.

 

The grips are awesome! If I were him, I would definitely have had them changed long ago but it's maybe a sign that an awful lot of practice has been put in over the off season (if you can call it that).

[green.tea]

I love that putter from head to grip.

[Downtime]

Just read where he said he would be taking the ts2 driver and fairway out and going with his old setup because they weren’t spinning enough

[jlebeane13]

Where did you read that at? Or I guess what/who's article? Could be an interesting read to see is opinions on the clubs.

I saw the Spieth quote in this article. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/sign-of-the-times-tiger-woods-vaults-past-jordan-spieth-in-world-ranking

[semarlor]

Geez, Titleist has to love that, lol.

[sfist]

Can’t believe he’s going back to the 915. That thing is awful

[th6252]

Guessing the sneakers thing has to be for some sort of training purpose because not only is he wearing sneakers, but they are really worn down to the point they barely have any tread.

[MattyO1984]

3 major wins, World Number 1 and a Fed Ex Cup win under the belt for Spieth whilst using it, try telling him that it is awful.

[jaffabell]

So he gives up a few yards to keep it in play more often and be confident the ball will fly like he wants it too? Pointless playing a club that is dropping out of the air

[EBG]

Is the printed loft on his driver just nonsense? Seems weird he'd play a 10.5* head in the A1 setting (+.75 loft), after playing his 915 in 9.5 degrees.
