Any shot of the new balls he was playing with? #pause

So while Tiger was waiting for his pro-am partners to hit off the 18th tee I asked him about the Nike Covert 2.0 driver. He had that one under the Tiger head cover and when he hit driver, that was the driver of choice. Tiger said he liked it a lot, Joey said he wasn't sure if it would be in play tomorrow. We'll see.

Tiger said he's been testing the new ball for quite some time now but wasn't ready to put it in play yet!


Greg
[/quote]did you ask him what length the 2.0 was? If not, could you find out.
[/quote]

I didn't ask, he didn't say and I'll see if I can get that info. No Nike Tech guys here this week.

Would definitely be interesting to know! I've thought for a long time he'd play better with a Dynamic Gold in his woods again...

Greg- did you take the photos in the OP?
[/quote]

Yes
[/quote]

Thanks... I was a bit confused on who took the photos. Great job!
[/quote]

I take all the Tour photos but either Richard, Zak, Ben or Rob and now atursky (who works with Zak) load the albums into the forums for me.

You guys do a fine job!!! Im still kicking myself in the a$$ for not getting a chip from you last year.

I hope you guys get okay weather on Saturday.

[pr1mo990]

Once again WRX is all over what we want to see. Thanks for the great pics. That driver is sick. 103 gram shaft is crazy, no way I could handle that. Who else uses a shaft that heavy besides Tiger and Sergio?

There's NO way that driver is 460cc for those asking. It looks much smaller and looks identical in shape to his old covert and VR Pro before it. Probably the same club with the new Fly-Brace tech and cavity.

Not a fan of the hat tho, like the logos but fitted is the way to go.

[mr_duffer]

I think Tiger has used 103 BB off and on for a number of years.

[pr1mo990]

Sweet TW hat, haven't seen him wear non-fitted hats in a while.

 

oh yeah, insane driver as well..

Of course, you'd notice the hat! :cheesy:

 

I love my hats, that's a fact. Always excited to get the latest ones. You can count i'll get that TW hat and Nike flatbills when they come out w/ the new logos.

 

:jester:

 

Also, I think he is wearing the Nike Golf Weatherized Pant. Keeps you real warm in real cold conditions. Cold as in sub 50 California degree standards.

The Weatherized pants front pockets are almost horizontal and Tigers pants have totally different pockets (typical vertical style) so he's not wearing them, but you're right, they're awesome pants and are perfect for cold weather, which I get from October to April...

[Beastmode Broker]

Still amazes me how we get to see these pics, just awesome

I gotta give Nike credit. They've achieved another first.....

It might not be the best looking, but it sure does perform.

It better.

[bluecollar81]

Thanks for the pics Greg! Awesome job as always. Driver definitely looks sub 460cc. Prefer the fitted hats over the adjustables. Still can't bring myself to purchase those shoes however -even if they perform well.

[csiachos]

I have the TW ID and they are my favorite. I like everything about the new driver except the hosel. Kinda like his old covert the way the paint extended up the hosel. I think the heavier shorter BB is a great idea for him. I do bit like the hat as much as a fitted version.

Was thinking the same. Haven't seen him wear a adjustable hat before.
[/quote]

I was about to post that, it's been at least a decade that I can remember. Anyone else notice it looks like Tiger almost hit Stricker with his follow through on one of this swings? It looks like Stricker wasn't paying attention and got awfully close to him...

[Conrad283]

Great pics!

[nmanoles3]

These pictures are incredible. Great job to everyone involved, the picture detail on everyone's clubs is unreal.

[station2station]

Was that 103 BB really from his driver? That's a load.

[J13]

The Covert 2.0 is killing it so far. Even Tiger is switching. Just goes to show ya how much they like the traditional pear shape.

[jonn443]

+1 on the ugly shoes... even if their comfortable, got to have some style. Those look like he straight out stole those from a clown.

[jonn443]

Nice looking driver though, and is he gaming a covert tour fairway? That's new if so because I thought he was using the performance model.

[LorenRobertsFan]

I like the shoes.. The only thing is that the color schemes don't match with most of the golf clothes in my closet.

Nope, same "performance" (Covert Limited) fairways.

Looks like it may be closer to 30's - 40's with that frost on the ground in that one pic..

Thanks for the little tid bit on Tiger. Got to actually talk with Tiger when the AT&T was in Philadelphia, few years ago I was surprised how we actually had a pretty good amount of banter back and fourth ( just should have taped it for a sound bite), he usually never seems to talkative during tourneys and that's most players when their between the ropes, but during the practice round Tiger interacted with the fans a good amount. Oh yes also thanks for the fine pics , I was a bit confused as to who took the pics but I see that was answered above. great job!

It's definitely the angle. If you look at the spots on the ground where they make divots and then where his feet are same as tiger is in his bay. Striker is just stretching , warming up.

I gotta agree. I've owned a few of the previous offerings and didn't mind them. Actually wore them for a stretch. These however, God awful...

Like another poster mentioned, they seemingly made them worse...

[greenknight9]

Awesome pics. If tiger puts that driver in play that will go a long ways to help this driver sell right out of the gate. Not saying it will be a game changer but it will certainly help create more buzz, at least initially

Crazy shaft situation though. Can't wait to learn more.

[jdubbs]

Even the original Nike Cover tour is not 460cc, I believe it is 430 or 440, I should know cause that's what I game, but yeah, the new nike that tiger is gaming is definitely not 460cc

Love the Covert Tour 2.0, looks great, I loved the original so, a might have to make a change

[SwooshLT]

Great pics.....

[JaxBeachNole]

103 in the driver would be his heaviest driver except for the steel shafts right? I don't remember anything but the 83 before.

Maybe has something to do with the new ball or driver

[JaxBeachNole]

And a non fitted hat? Snapbacks n Tattoos

[fatmouse]

very cool pictures

the driver footprint reminds me of the dymo 380. Does anyone know if tiger used the 380cc version of the vr tour?

the 103cc blueboard is an interesting choice, i wonder why you'd opt for a heavier spinnier shaft (by todays standards) if you have lighter/low-spin options?
