is he really hitting the BB 103X in his driver today?

Yes

[Lefty94]

Am I the only one who noticed it's a glued version? Was his previous covert a glued version, I can't remember. Also no Swoosh on the crown.

[/quote] Yes his last covert was glued as well

Looks like he using the 2.0 after all.

 

I don't know if this is for marketing or not, but that 2.0 has an adjustable head. Has anyone seen Tiger play the adjustable head during the first round because earlier this week he used a glued version? Also that looks bigger than a 430/440 cc head size.

Probably is Marketing, photo was taken from their Facebook page. They want the consumers/facebook page likers to think he is using the new 2.0 tour with flex-loft. When Tiger himself is using the glued and slight modified version.

Just glare, not adjustable. That's his driver

[drewtaylor21]

anyone know if Tiger is playing one of the new RZN balls? if so which one?

[pr1mo990]

I think earlier in the thread Greg said he's testing the ball but isn't ready to put it into play yet. The model he's testing is the RZN Platinum but it's different from the retail version of course.

[drewtaylor21]

thanks pr. I'm curious to try the RZN black and platinum after hearing Rory rave about the black and assuming TW eventually puts a platinum prototype in play. I'm usually a prov1x guy, but like what I hear about the RZN

[HiSpeed48]

Good day with the new driver. He used it 6 times and found the fairway 5 out of those 6 times.

Huh? What's the explanation of his driver/shaft combo?

Ok I see it now. It still looks closer to 460 cc.

Obviously that's a good number for tiger but Sherwood is a pretty wide open course!

Did they sharpie the swoosh on his putter cover? I have never noticed that.
[/quote]

I don't think it's Sharpied as much as losing it's threads. It reminds me of his old VR Pro 3 wood cover and how beat up that was.

From what I saw it was just brutal, stumbling through trying to explain why it's better and Kelly not understanding. He did say Tiger's new shaft isn't as stiff. They're both X flex right? How is the BB less stiff? From how it's tipped maybe? Anyways it was hard to even watch their explanation.

[Cwalts1991]

I followed along pretty well...Said the new shaft is much heavier than the average Joe's driver shaft, slightly softer in the tip to add more spin, and hoping the extra weight will slow his tempo down.

[playa]

I think the shoes would look good with shorts, but horrible with pants.

[bobsuruncle]

Let's hope he sorts his driver issues out this year and makes a good run at all the 4 major sites ... being stuck at 14 sucks ... being stuck at 17 would make things very interesting, as each major he plays from then on becomes THE MAJOR that ties the record and whether he gets more is just gravy. Imagine the level of interest then.

[Phobos]

All shoes look better without Tiger's b**t ugly pants.

[/quote] I agree his explanation was not bad he just did not articulate it very well at all

[TheMoneyShot]

TW only missed 1 fwy yesterday with the driver. That heavier shaft he is using must be helping his tempo and control a lot. It will be interesting to see if it remains in the bag for the long haul.

[nova6868]

I understand the BB is softer in the tip compared to WB, if youre comparing 73 to 73. But at 103X? I would imagine the BB is pretty darn stiff.

[NRJyzr]

100g driver shaft isn't such a big deal. I wish they were more readily available.

Maybe It´s because I´m european and from Sweden, but why is Tiger always wearing so f******g ugly pants? They look like a tent. Does he need guidance on the wind direction or what? He´s a fit guy, why don´t he wear pants that fit?
[/quote]

Tiger is self-conscious about his small calves, and so he wears larger pants so you can't see how small they are.

(Personally, I like the fuller look.)

[/quote]

I saw that as well. Charlie was saying that the Blueboard was softer and would spin the ball more, giving Tiger more control. But Tiger said in his press conference that the new driver was spinning less, providing him a more penetrating shot. A heavier shaft will take spin off, all other things equal.

I would think that the heavier shaft will help with his tempo, and enable him to swing hard without losing control so often.

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

I don't recall that. He's used the heavier BB shafts in his FW's, but driver was typically an X-stiff (and tipped) in the 70-80 gram weight range...think it was typically a WB or Tour AD...he did use an EPIC for a VERY brief time.
