Does any one know anything about the shaft Hunter has in his driver? I have read it is a PING Prototype 824x shaft. I am just curious what it is similar to and specs, etc...Must be a good shaft.

BTW the Ping Prototype 824 X shaft that he has in the driver is actually the same shaft as the TFC129D X-flex available as a stock G10 shaft. This is straight from the designer of the shaft.

UST Mamiya’s PGA Tour Success Continues
  

Winner and Runner-Up at Waste Management Open Rely on Company’s Superiorly-Designed Shafts

(FORT WORTH, TX) – UST Mamiya – maker of the world’s finest carbon fiber golf shafts – confirms the winner and runner-up finisher at the PGA Tour’s Waste Management Open relied on its award-winning shaft lines.This victory represents the company’s fourth on the PGA Tour this season, with the champion playing a proprietary PING shaft made by UST Mamiya in his driver, the PING TFC700D, a standard offering in the company's i15 line. He also used the ATTAS International Series in his 3-wood (80, X-Flex) and the Proforce V2 in his hybrid (89, X-Flex). The runner-up played the Proforce V2 in his 3-wood (86, S-Flex).“We have had great early success on the PGA Tour this season and are confident it will continue,” says Gene Simpson, COO of UST Mamiya. “To be successful at this level, players must be confident that their equipment works to perfectly compliment their games, with UST Mamiya shafts they can rest assured.”

[ckguy914]

The TFC700D is actually the same exact shaft as the TFC129D also.  So Mahan is still playing the same shaft, just with a different name.

Thanks for the clarification, ckguy. Still working at PING?

I recall during my visit that the reps said the TFC129D was, in their opinion, one of the best stock shafts available at the time... as evidenced by it being played by Mahan even back then.

If Ping was smart they'd start making retro sets of Eye2s - the second best selling irons of all time.

I thought they were number one?  So if they are number 2 what is one?

Tommy Armour 845s Silver Scots. I had a set for like 8 years.

Cant believe he isnt still using the new PING wedges, they look pretty solid.

How old is this picture? I thought the Eye 2 wedges were ruled non-conforming under the new groove rule.

[jebb]

Couple of things- Tex the 54 is one of the new wedges.

His lob wedge is conforming aswell.

Cally wedges?  Wow.

I could easily play that set up.  

[acpar72]

How did he arrive at Callaway wedges? Im not saying they arent performers, but are they really that much better than the Ping line?  Or is it worth noting that despite all his options, he chose the X forged over everything else?

[williamo]

He ditched the V2 in the hybrid too. Is this true with the Cally wedges? I might need to get some to try lol :x

A JAWS wedge even?

I didn't see that.

I guess to be correct I think he also uses Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts.

[ryan_k]

I thought Ping staffers could only use Ping stuff? How is he playing Cally wedges?

Most Manufacturers only require 10-12 clubs.  PING mandates the putter and in almost all cases the Driver.  TaylorMade Driver, Mizuno irons.

A picture of his wedges, callaway even engraved  "Hunter": http://www.golf.com/...09611-2,00.html

It remains a wierd choice..
