Anybody know if he will be gaming the new vr pro driver too?

Not by the photos of the pro-am

Where do you get all of these pictures anyway?

The one of the VR Pro came from a link that Nike Golf put up on Twitter and the one of the VR driver came from the Getty Images website

Tiger drinks Powerade now. Go figure :)

 

I found this pretty quickly when I saw the picture too. Big middle finger to Gatorade for not staying by him during the scandal. :tongue::tongue:

 

Powerade tastes better anyway!

[Petho]

He's using the sq at the aussie masters this week.

[Gupps01]

Haven't got any pictures yet because its too early, but from the coverage of the JBWere Masters, it looks to me like the Scotty Cameron has been benched and that heel shafted mallet that he was seen with at the Ryder Cup is in the bag. Whatever it is, it certainly isn't the Cameron cause it has grooves in the face.

Update: Found a pic

[Omid Salehi]

I noticed that too, looks like the Nike Method 003

[blade_man]

It is the Method, did a pause and you can see it pretty plain.

[ElBizzle]

If he keeps draining putts like he was doing on the back nine in Australia, the Method might be the way to go

[J13]

Agreed, nike method are superior putters to camerons, the tech in the club is miles ahead. Scotty like Titliest is frozen in time 10 years ago. I'm not even a fan of nike methods but they def feel and roll better then a any scotty i've ever used. Now i'm back to odyssey as the feel is great, or my rife 2 bar, awesome.

[williamo]

Might need to take a look at that putter he is using!

Yeah that low tech Scotty stuff barely let Tiger get past Q School eh......the technology between the ears has a lot more to do with putting than the lump of metal

[The Gachet]

A new putter helped Tiger Woods to a final-round 65 and a fourth-place finish at the Australian Masters.

Woods, who has trusted a Scotty Cameron putter for most of his career - including in winning 13 of his 14 majors - first experimented with a Nike putter during the 2010 Open Championship.

"I've always experimented with other putters throughout the years, but I never put one in play," Woods said then, when he used a Nike Method 003 putter on the greens at St. Andrews. He also practiced with the putter at the Ryder Cup and says he uses it to practice with regularly.

For the Australian event, Woods put the putter into play only in the final round. As with the Open Championship, Woods said the putter helped him more on the slower greens.

"The greens are pretty slow uphill, you have to give it a pretty good hit," he said at the beginning of the week.

I attended the Australian Masters and Tiger was on the practice green with both putters most days. I followed him in the Pro-Am and he had both in the bag and used the method twice during the Pro-Am... The greens were lightning downhill and very slow uphill all week. Great to see him put on a show for us in his final 9 holes.

Any Idea Who is Forging his irons??? Whats the "real" word on Miura or Endo???

 

 

 

DRIVER: Nike Victory Red Tour (10°) with a Mitsubishi Diamana White Board 73X shaft

FAIRWAY WOODS: Nike SasQuatch Sumo (15°, 19°) with Mitsubishi Diamana Blue Board 103g shafts

IRONS: Nike Victory Red Blades (3-PW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts

WEDGES: Nike Victory Red (56°, 62°) with True Temper Dynamic Gold S400 shafts

Endo - 110% for sure on that!

People used to say there's no way he'd ever start adapting stack and tilt principles..

[pt_golfer]

He'll use the method this week.

[golferguy1181]

its not like he uses nike irons anyways. he uses irons forged from endo or miura with a nike stamp on them.

Ummm? Just when do you think he started using these principals?

[Ouimet22]

I doubt that is true about him just having stamped blades from endo or miura. Don't get me wrong, I know there isn't anything standard about his irons, but they don't really resemble endo or miura blades. Definitely miura more than endo, but not either of them in particular.

[Mustng5]

Topic says it all, looks like he is using the new VR Pro blades...

[BigLeftyAllAmerican]

[kekoa]

Unless he switched then no. yesterday he was using the same ones he did all year. Only staffers playing the new ones were cink, ak, john cook.

[Mustng5]

[attachment=692857:tiger.jpg]

He is, look at pic from today, clearly see it on pic, answered my own question....

[golferguy1181]

at the same tiime they dont really resemble nike blades either. his are much more squared off in many areas of the club

Man, I wish I got better bag shots yesterday. I could have sworn he was using his old irons. Stevie always set his bag way far away from the ropes.

[mdb0103]

method putter seems to be working so far...

[North Shore Golfer]

He also has the glued VR Pro 3 wood today. Still SQ2 5 wood, both with Blueboard 103.
