Awesome bag pics! My observations/questions:

1. Apparently they use a letter/number combo like Titleist drivers on their "tour" tips in the Razr Fit Driver (A1, B2, etc). Even the Razr Fit TA uses C, O, and S so I guess it's not as "tour authentic" as it should be.

2. Looks like he has his 3 wood shimmed using the clock ferrule and a very heavy Project X shaft in it!
3. I'm wondering if his putter head is larger than standard to get to 400 grams?

Looks like Ernie has stuck with the 3 wedge system unlike most of the guys bagging 4 or even 5 wedges. 52* and 60* seems like a big gap but it obviously works well!!

Did anyone get a look at about how open that fairway wood is?? I remember that club as being a cannon but it was a hook machine.

What a great setup, using all 3 X Utility irons is cool, i love thye razr x forged, musclebacks,i also love how th wedges really look like the irons, thats something ive always been a fan of, like my Vr Pro Combos and the Vr Pro wedges, GREAT WORK ERNIE U DESERVE IT

[jmvargas]

...superb set-up that only VERY VERY skilled and fairly strong golfers can effectively play....

i guess that kinda describes ernie perfectly!!

[BirdieBob]

Oh Yeah!
Razr X MB's ....

Any shaft you get from the tour van has the A,B,C--1,2,3 cogs on them. Any shaft you get from the factory has the OEM cogs. You just need the callaway chart that shows the correlation (and it isn't obvious especially when you throw the left handed data in there as well). All Tour Authentic Razr Fit drivers come with the S,O,C cogs on them. But if your rep. gets you a shaft from the tour they have the other cog designation on them..

it looks like he put some tape on his utility clubs and then took it off. I wonder if the van guys were like "Ernie we can just change the weight port"

Interesting to see him keeping the utility irons outside of the open, figured he would go back to standard irons.

Thanks for the pics. Any topline or address shots of the X Utilities? Pretty please.

Also, I didn't realize he had a 10A2 in the 3W, not surprising though, but that's serious stuff right there.

I believe I remember hearing about how much Ernie loved these, apparently he said something like "Where are the other 8?" haha

The more I see them the more I want one. At first wasn't a fan but they are definitely growing on me.

[Puppetmaster]

Just noticed the sole of his 60*. Is that the 0 bounce wedge or something that was just ground down to look close to that? Pretty cool either way.

[Marks23]

I can see the 10 gram weight in the heel but does anyone know what weight he has in the toe?

[CoachBerger]

Man those utility clubs look to have a very narrow head profile. I wonder how they perform in the rough from a fluffy lie. Also that 3 wood shaft looks like a telephone pole and combined with an open head....wow!!! No left shots with that.
