WITB Phil Mickelson ?

Hybrid, Irons

Does anybody know what Lefty was using at AT&T Pebble Beach last weekend? I saw him hitting a Hybrid, was that the X Hybrid or FT-Hybrid?

Also, is he still playing the X-Tour irons?

Full Bag info will even be better.... thanks.

[Golfbug339]

Is he still using a Diamana in the driver??? Go Phil!

I know the darrell is reliable but does anyone else find it wierd that is driver, 3 wood and hybrid have the same exact shaft?

[tmac7592]

diamana blue right and yea that is a little wierd that they all have same shaft

[PMAC]

I don't think so at all......he loves that shaft and feels that it works best for him in those clubs....

[Hifade]

It's not how hard or fast he swings as much as it's how much he loads the shafts. In short, his downswing is very closed to his body and narrow which forces him to load the shaft a lot. This requires a much stiffer flex, among other things. PX 7.0's are like steel pipes.

[TINGRAM]

What is a flamed Odyssey? :drinks: I have never heard of that.

[ninefooterforbird]

I believe "flamed" is when the head is heated with a butane torch to almost blue the metal.

[jjc2257]

Does anyone know wherre you could get that flamed finish done to your putter?

[archangel1611]

7.0 are as stiff as cement

I am positive that he doesn't use the xg7, he uses a special version of the xg 9.

I think its funny that Graphite Design makes a shaft especially for him, than he dumps it and uses the Diamana.

[AcesAZ]

I would bet his irons may be longer than standard though, thus reducing the flex a some. I know my 6.5's are really stiff at standard length. Stiffer than X100's. I can't imagine 7.0's.

 

I also doubt he uses a 73 gram in his hybrid. Thats really light!!

I play PX 7.0's and I play them slightly over length. In the shop they cycled out really high and I was a little worried but they play great. I have them in some LT's. Great feel and ballflight.

[MrBig]

I called Royal Precision, when they still existed/before the TT buy out, and was told their shafts get stiffer as they lengthen. I thought this was counter intuitive, but I didn't want to second guess him or my clubfitter. Weird though...

I dont know if he is using the X-Forged but last time I checked he was using X-Tours

hahaha, i stand corrected. i was thrown by the issue of golf digest in which he was using the x forged, so i though that he might be done with the x-tours, but when i saw the coverage, i was convinced they weren't the x tours, but they definitely weren't the x forged, so therefore i though the x20 tours were in the bag

 

thanx

haha, yeah i know. i was just thrown off...

[g8a_golf]

am i wrong or did phil, at one time, have a 4 hybrid in his bag... i am not sure, but watching one tourney a while back, i thought i heard the announcers say that the longets iron in his bag was a 5 iron... please tell me if i am right or wrong!!!

[ninefooterforbird]

Not sure if it was a 4 hybrid, but he definetly was playing a hybrid, not sure if he still is.

[g8a_golf]

there was one point when i remember looking at his bag and seeing 3 X hybrids or at least 3 hybrid head covers. idk if they make a hybrid 1 iron in that style, so that must mean he had 2, 3, and 4 hybrids... i'm not stating fact, its my guess...

[williethekid]

x-forged went in the bag this week.
