ATV for the tour sure has a lot of grinding done

[forefrazier]

No flex ratings on any of his wood shafts?

Ugliest,best putter ever made. Looks terrible, paint looks like it was "rattle canned" in a garage but it rolls them in better than anything I have tried. Lots of the "demo" versions all have paint chips like this so hesitant to pick one up.

[eddie_max]

Great looking grind on the ATV. Also, retail R11?

[ProjectX]

If that was the ATV that TM released they would've sold a hell of a lot more wedges.

[PowerPlayer]

Might as well just get a TVD and stamp "Taylormade" on it. Easier than grinding this to play like a Vokey.

[t4zalews]

Is that his 56* or not?

[JMO TO]

I think it's just a Tour Issue ATV, Modern Golf here in toronto has turned some out. I'm waiting for my R12s to get worn out to try them.

One thing is for sure: There are no doughnuts in that man's bag - ever

[ZBigStick]

Cool pics.

As Eddie said; Retail R11?

That ATV's grooves look worn and the sole like a TVD-K.

[WVP]

Seems like a cool dude actually, a bit of a hipster from what I can tell. Interesting twitter follow.

He's a great follow on Twitter. Seems like a great guy. He does need to get on GolfWRX more so he could know that his retail R11 spins way too much for a tour player LOL.

This is the Tour Only ATV, there is no grinding done, it's made just as you see.

I was told the new wedge coming out will be similar....multiple bounce offerings....more of a traditional lineup.

So he goes from pw to 60* ? Seems like a very large gap.

The guy has been playing really well so far this year.

Thanks

How the f*** did I miss the huge pictures of it? lol

Little crack on the RBZ Tour 3W slot near the heel? Or just paint flaking?
Roberto, check your 3W!

Sure looks like a crack to me too. Wouldn't that be non-conforming?
