![]() on Wednesday afternoon to make a change to his driver. Initially designed for Callaway’s ERC Soft golf ball, Triple Track technology has taken off on Tour since its inclusion on Chrome Soft. The blue and red lines on the side are designed to improve alignment, compared to the regular side stamp found on many of today’s golf balls, particularly when it comes to putting accuracy.Ī total of seven players employed Triple Track on their Chrome Soft golf ball, including Phil Mickelson, Xander Schauffele, Francesco Molinari, Dylan Frittelli and J.J. Woods picked up 6-7 yards during testing with the 2020 Bridgestone Tour B XS golf ball he paired with SIM. “Trying to find both, meanwhile giving me more distance with both shots, would be ideal.” “I want to be able to draw it and then hit my little slap cut up there kind of shortening the fairway,” Woods said of his SIM wish list. Two days later, Woods trotted the club out and pumped a drive with it for his opening tee shot of 2020. Tiger Woods started the week unsure if he’d use TaylorMade’s SIM driver at Torrey Pines. We’ll use TrackMan in much more sensible ways, in terms of looking at dispersion, start line, and making sure the club is dialed into my swing.” We’ve been a lot more diligent in dialing the clubs in with lie angle. I’ve also been much smarter about how we set it up - really working with the tour team, them getting to know me, me getting to know them. “The bounce is ever-so-slightly different. “A blade is a blade, but there are subtle differences,” he said. Of course, not everything on Rose’s set is stock. ![]() I looked at it and kind of took what I thought were my preferences, like the pinched toe that I was playing in the Rose Proto and said, actually, I kind of like what you guys have TR20B prototype irons.Ī post shared by Jonathan Wall on at 5:26pm PST “There was a 001, 002 and a 003 - so subtle toe designs - and I kind of landed on their standard production shape. Instead of sticking with his standard profile, Rose threw them a curveball, opting for something that’ll closely resemble the retail version slated to be released this summer. So when Honma started rolling out versions of its Tour-only TR20B iron for Rose to test, they assumed he’d probably land on the one that resembled his current set of Rose Proto blades. Justin Rose has a specific look when it comes to his irons, starting with a “pinched” toe that’s been a part of his head profile for years. In addition to the wedges, DeChambeau also went back to Cobra’s King LTD driver. But the connection to Taylor’s startup is an intriguing one nonetheless. Taylor worked on Tiger Woods’ clubs during his time at Nike Golf - helped in a consulting role when Woods transitioned to TaylorMade - and started up Artisan Golf in 2017, which currently makes custom wedges and putters.ĭeChambeau has tinkered around with different wedges and designs over the last year from Cobra and PXG, so this is nothing new. ![]() While Artisan might not be a household name, it’s run by one of the most respected clubmakers in the industry: Mike Taylor. Other tour pros have followed Reed’s lead in recent years, including Abraham Ancer. Artisan burst onto the scene in 2018 when Patrick Reed won the Masters with two wedges in the bag. It’s possible the wedge company could be Artisan Golf, after DeChambeau was observed with the Fort Worth, Texas-based equipment manufacturer’s wedges in the bag in Dubai. On occasion, he’ll offer insight into recent gear changes and what’s trending in the pro ranks - like the “secret” wedge company he was working with recently on a groove configuration to help with his newfound length off the tee. If you’re a gearhead, you should probably be paying attention to the stream for a few reasons. And did you know he has a fondness for chili? But I digress. ![]() There was the story he told about buying a Tesla with his first winner’s check. (Go ahead and Google “Fortnite,” too.)ĭeChambeau will talk about anything on his stream. In a sport where few players show their personality off the course, DeChambeau has opened the doors and let the entire world in on a regular basis when he fires up Twitch and streams himself playing Fortnite.
