All heavier shafts and I know 3,4 and 5 have shorter than standard.

That’s got to niggle the manufacturers such as TM ,& Ping that the longest hitter on tour is using a three generation old cobra. Proof if it was ever needed that it’s the player and not the club

I like the fact that if it ain’t broke…

How about the straightest hitters? Driver, shaft, and ball.
Bomb-and-gouge is for fickle losers who care nothing about golf.

This is a pretty great list of players…you wouldn’t see the same caliber players in the “straighest” bunch.

so cute we believe it’s the club. 🙂

Great article, but how about the 5 shortest players on tour? I think the majority of your readers can identify more with the latter than the former… regardless, we appreciate the great reads while we’re all stuck at home.

This is WRX country and nobody wants to hear about short or straight hitters, only those who play blades with 7.0 shafts tipped 1 inch and have 105g TX flex driver shafts….like real players

This reply literally made me LOL because it’s so true. At 44yo playing soft Xs… I’m only a few years away from being banished to golfwrxlite.com. 🙂
