He must either play his driver short or that head is naturally very light. 10 gram up front and 12 gram back...thats a lot of weight.

That's a big boys club folks. Sam must eat his Wheaties.

Wonder what is different about the S?

Interesting. I wonder why he would want that? I have the paradym 3D and at 450cc. I can’t really tell the difference there but at 420 I think you would. But I wonder why..

[OpgForce]

Hoping it comes to retail!

[Bskib]

So Smol it’s not available to anyone not in the top 25 OWGR. Don’t get your hopes up seeing this come to us mortals.

Yeah not sure tbh. Maybe makes it easier to work the ball.

 

Or maybe he's just an absolute tank and wants bragging rights for playing Thor's hammer? We'll never know.

High loft usually 1-2* higher so around 10.5-11 for a 9

It's not that I want...it's that I NEEEEED! Wish all these tour heads were available for retail. Charge us consumers another $100 a head to offset the cost of keeping inventory on slower moving heads that won't have a high consumer sell through.

You'll prob find his in a trash can after he misses this cut

From that article that was posted:

 

"This switch happened on #4 at Bay Hill; the first two tee shots Sam hit with the 10.5+ were in left to right cross winds that required a hard cut, and the start lines were just too far to the right, Dean Teykl (who had three heads on him while walking with Sam) took a 9+ head (9.5 actual) put the cog at +1 which squared up the face a bit and like magic Sam started hitting these HARD cuts that started slightly left of center and fell right. It was on #4 that this happened, and it was full tilt all the way through the practice round."

 

"The + signifies a higher lofted version meaning it’s [email protected] to start, this was developed for face angles more than anything, so a player that needs a loft that sits in between can get it without adjusting the face angle OR, in Sam’s case, a 9-degree head at 9.5 close the face a hair to get a better start line and land at 10.5."

In all fairness the driver didn’t cost him.  Golf gods broke it off in him, crap lies and unlucky breaks all day 

[TheMoneyShot]

This is the driver I’m on the hunt for currently. Hopefully some tour head sellers get some stock in soon…
