^ you're correct

[Svang5]

Which Model Nike fairway wood did Tiger tee off at Round 1-Honda Classic Round 1? It looks like the SASQUATCH? I see the power boy (gray)???? I know he loves that models 5 wood, was it the 5 wood? or 3 wood SQ?

[Green Valley]

Ping grip is back.

[1nfamous1]

Is tiger getting a bit fatty?

This popped up a couple times, and the shaft he is gaming in his VR_S 2i is a PXi
[/quote]

put-drove Westwood a few times with the chicken stick.......Westwood was hitting driver BTW.....

[jonn443]

Not sure what Driver ( think he is still using the VR Tour) , but the stats from the Honda Classic don't lie...1st in total driving (distance and accuracy)!!!
He's out driving his competitors even witht the cut shot, and for the most part keeping it in the short grass...Maybe not back to complete, but his distance is definitely back.

When did Tiger switch to a 53/58 combo?
[/quote]

that chart is bs.
his pw also has 49° and not 48
[/quote]

According to TGC this season when Tiger was in the Middle East those appear to be close to correct. Maybe not the exact degree of loft on the short irons but the distances are relatively close to what they claimed Tiger gave them. I'm pretty sure he plays 49*, 54*, 60* for PW, SW, LW.

Point is though, when did he switch wedge lofts? He's used a 56* since the beginning of time. I'm not saying he didn't change, just wondering when?

I was also wondering this

Nope swoosh my friend, at least not Tiger's website...lol

I dare say the wedge lofts up above us were just flat out wrong.

I saw that too Zilla......he normally plays very weak lofts...pw at 50* do 56* sw and 60* lw makes sense....haven't heard anything that would lead us to believe anything otherwise....

I think he was using the SQ2 3 wood yesterday. I didn't get to watch it all weekend but yesterday I definitely saw the silver on the crown and yellow on the bottom when the announcers commented on his 3 wood shot.

Tiger plays 3-PW in the VR Pro Blades. The VR_S 3 irons is bent to and played as a 2 iron. If you look in the bag picture you posted, there are 3 woods, 2 wedges, and 9 irons in that bag.

I think that he meant that he uses the VR_S "2 Iron" [b]OR[/b] his 5 wood. So including the putter that would total 14.

he rotates his "bent 3iron" with his 5wd depending on course conditions....so he is Driver,3wd(SQ2 it looked like) 2iron with PXI shaft, 3-PW with DGX100...

It still looks like it says 56 to me, could be wrong, my eyes aren't that great.

Exactly. In that photo, he just happens to have both the 5 wood and "2 iron" in the bag. Being that it's likely a photo from a practice round, it makes sense that he would have all 15 clubs. That way he can decide which one he wants to use that week.

[D23]

I was just wondering if anyone else noticed tigers putter this week. I know hes been using the method but i did notice that his putter seemed a little different as it seems to be missing the slot on the sole of the putter where they pour the polymer through. The face still appeared to look the same as it looked to have the traditional method face....

anyone else notice the missing slot?

Thats because he has a few strips of lead tape across the bottom to add a little weight.

Correct. He originally just had one strip on the bottom, looks like the whole thing is covered now.
