I wonder what the gapping is between the 16.5 HL and the 18 degree 5 wood. Maybe the loft gap is actually much bigger than the label?

Could be a couple things. The bonded TM fairways tend to sit more square or slightly closed on average so they are often candidates for being bent open which decreases loft. Olsen seems have long preferred bonded TM fairways with the M5 being the only adjustable model I think he's been in, but he does also seem to prefer square to shut face angles being primarily an in to out draw type of player, so he could also have just had them cherry picked for loft gapping i.e. slightly stronger 16.5* model and slightly weaker 18* model.

Googled him as I hadn’t heard of him… Some issues on a plane. Yikes 😬 But cleared of all charges. What a bizarre situation.

Curious about the PW-56* gap.

 

Either great skills for partial shots or maybe the they are bent, eg 48* or 49* pw and 54* SW

What do you think..?

He is well known on the Euro Tour and always quiet and professional from what I know of him. 

 

Great game and many people stuck up for him after that issue.

 

There is many instances of people waking up on sleeping pills some crazy things and not remembering. 

 

Look at the well know MMA fighter who in Vegas ended seriously hurting some casual fans and remembered nothing.

As yes! The piss bear! Hopefully no one was assaulted or peed on during the photographing of these clubs.

I mean, sure, but I imagine if he groped your wife you would be quite upset. Unless of course someone spoke up and said "He's on ambien" and then you would be fine with it?

That 3i is a piss missile machine!

Anyone know when he started using the MBs for irons 7 - P? Last time I saw his bag it was MCs all the way in the irons.

Obviously couldn't behave himself in front of that flight attendant, lol.  Haven't heard anything negative about him since then so I'm assuming he's been a good boy.  Hopefully anyways.

Somebody gropes my wife and they would be missing some teeth afterwards.  So yeah, I feel you on that.
