Anyone see if Ko is playing with different clubs?

She's not on coverage enough....I'm interested what woods she's using.

 

All the LPGA interviews are SOFTBALLS...can someone ask her why she's playing the clubs she's gaming.....Hello McFly.

Good investigative work.

Kinda think she might be gaming Titleist FW's and hybrids.

As of now she is an equipment free agent. She is using a Titleist T200 5 iron Proto Concept C05 6-9 irons and Vokey wedges this week. I am not sure what woods are in the bag

Nice detective work lol those proto concepts look sick!

[Vandal_DO]

She’s playing what looks like a Titleist TSi 3 driver in photos from today’s round. She has played the ProV1 for some time.  Her putter is not PXG either

Really? What putter is she using? Thought it was the pxg center shaft proto from last year.

Lydia's putter in R1 of the Gainsbridge = looked like a center-shafted Ping (Ketsch? with a ton of Lead Tape on the sole, concealing any details/Logos ... so possibly still a PXG that you mentioned?)

Very much the same PXG.

 

 

[snagy2000]

The putter is called Thunderbolt and is a one off made for Lydia. I putt the best with center shafted putters and would have bought one if they released it, which they never did. One popped up on eBay last year with a noticeable scratch on the top and someone paid a ridiculous amount for it.

I remember a thread from while back about the Proto Concepts. Great looking stuff!

Thanks for the link Dino, they are impressive looking irons for sure,

You're welcome!  As for the aesthetics of the clubs . . . I am not a fan from the photos on the website, with the sole exception being the musclebacks. 

 

With the website photos its hard to see how big the heads on the irons actually are, nor can one gauge the thickness of the topline looking down.   I do like their modern construction though with multiple metals and the engineering in the clubs.  I hope to demo a set in March - April and should have a much better feel for them.

Where?

You heading to Japan?

I doubt Modern Golf or Golftec here in Van City carry the heads.

I just looked....you headed to JK World?....seems like they are the only signed up dealer here in Canada now.

 

I'll head over to JK once they open up...I don't know if it's opened now...a small foot print....2500 sq ft ....and bump into all the POSER's there who might want expensive vanity JDM clubs.🤣

 

I assume you've been to ParTee Golf in Richmond?

If anyone is looking for some demos or heads, shoot me a message (I know some good guys that can help). There aren’t many places that carry them, but they are sweet that’s for sure! I play the 01’s myself!

Parsons is still getting free advertising....3W & 5W???

Kaboom Baby!

 

It must be KILLING Tina...no OEM logo on the staff bag to pay for her business class flights.....coach is a b****🤣

[Argonne69]

A bit surprised to see the PXG woods and Ping hybrid in there. I guess I shouldn't be surprised about the woods. Seems most pros have a long term love affair with their woods. If it ain't broken... 

 

Vokey wedges seem to be the default choice. I preferred Calloway wedges, but Vokeys are fine. I'm sure Lydia could get up and down with a rusty shovel.

Don’t tempt Callaway or Titleist, next you’ll see “Hand Forged 60* Shovel, Raw” *instructions: leave in a rainstorm if you want this bad boy to turn into a rust bucket 😂

My buddy always bragged that he could putt with a sledgehammer. I believed him. He had this ridiculous brass blade putter with a 28" shaft that I swore he stole from a miniature golf place, and he made everything.

Haha now we are talkin! I’m a terrible putter, so putting with a sledge wouldn’t make it much better or worse for me 😂

 

maybe go buy him a 5lb sledge and tell him to shaft it up! Drive for show, putt for dough eh?

Sounds like my Father in Law.  He putted with a Bullseye that I believe pre-dated the Acushnet buyout.  He played that thing all the way up till his last round and the old fart didn't miss many inside of 15'.  Greatest best-ball partner in history.

Looks like Lydia did putt a new putter in her bag this week. She mentioned it in her post round interview.

That would be frustrating - he needs to hit it harder if he wants to hole it...

Miguel Angel Jimenez appears as a stereotype of a rake.

 

The hair, the cigars, the strut, the barrel chest, the $😄

Tina is up to her old bag of tricks.

Did everyone notice that the bottom of Lydia's Ketsch putter is covered in duct tape....ya can't see PING on the bottom of the putter.

 

Tina wants to be paid for any advertising.

 

This Ketsch model head was launched around 2014.....did Tina drop into PGA SS looking in the bargain barrel searching for a putter or did she bump into the couple from Stacked Golf?

Unlikely..that Ketsch Center-shaft = rare & not sure if it was  released at retail ( do a search on the GolfWRX forum)
