I like the clothes and shoes he wears.
He is a better dresser than Poulter in my opinion.
Loved those orange pants and matching shoes on Sunday.

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.”

Really? S-flex? Really?

Rickie's Scotty Cameron Circa 3 Tour GSS which is actually 340 grams (top line shaved down by 10g).

I saw those this morning, on the Scotty website. Verrrrrrry awesome putter.

[zacs2k]

this kid is a good player for sure, it would be nice to see him kick a** this year

[belh22]

looks like rickie is trying out a new adams black super hybrid based on this picture from bay hill...scroll down a ways to where his caddy is standing in front of his bag

No waaaaaaaaaaaaay!  Not better, not even close to Poulter!

[cwbrion]

I have to say the info on these forums is AWESOME.  Someone asks a question and .......the answer and a pic appear.  I think this kid is great for the game.  He takes about 30 seconds to hit a shot, and that includes picking his club outta the bag, practice swing, set-up, and the whole nine yards.  The other guys need to speed it up.  He should get those Camerons Torched if he really wants to be different.  I think the tour guys would eat that finish up if they ever saw it.  I wonder if Scotty frowns on it????   Funny though how the "chromatic finish" is the same color a Studio Select turns in the early torching process.

[Myclubsinatree]

the craziest thing seein' a guy you went to high school with so publicly known now...definitely rootin' for him, Puma's got to be stoked right now!

[DLiver]

FYI he has changed how he marks up his ball. Now it is just a single black alignment line over the "Pro V1x" and an orange dot under the under the numeral.

OK. As you probably know his contract is with Titleist. What I don't know is what his contract stipulates club wise; that isn't published knowledge.

Tour players put this or that in their bag all the time; but doing what Ricky's doing does beg the question why is he throwing it at the media, there by throwing it in Titleist's face. Ricky's good but he's not good enough to test a major sponsor like Titleist, least IMO.

He is playing the IDEA Pro Blacks. I Tivo'd the Phoenix open and went back and examined the hybrid. They did a close up - it's an Adams with a 909h headcover. WITHOUT A DOUBT.


And believe me, Acushnet thinks they have the next Tiger Woods in Rickie Fowler - Bet on it. They certainly are betting on him.

I'm pretty sure if Acushnet thinks they have the next Tiger, it would be Rory, not Rickie. Not a knock on Fowler, I actually really like his game, but the potential for Rory seems much higher.

[gene_bryce]

I think its a matter of Acushnet not really caring what he plays or maybe because his college teamate Peter Uilein dad is the owner of Acushnet. OSU use to play Ping and only Ping but the last couple of years they all play Titleist. But if hes trying to show sponsers up allready that could really hurt him in the end. So with that said im not really sure why he has the adams hybird but I have one im waiting on a shaft for maybe I will hit it half as good as Rickie. LOL

[dzoid]

watch him in charlotte,, he is a very talented player,  he was hitting a 20 degree pro black with matrix shaft..... big big star coming here,,,,,,

[wrbush31]

I like the over-the-top stamping on his wedges.  I think it's a just one more thing that further makes this kid a riot.  I enjoy watching him play and adding a little color (pun not intended...seriously) to the tour.

[kg4ever]

the puma outfit is cool but couldnt get into the hat>.>

[Jtraskal]

he has a really different swing! hes gonna be great though. im liking the orange 909 too!

[mdb0103]

not a big fan of the ball or orange paintfill, but interesting set up. ridiculously fast swing too.

[foster_justin]

Nice putters.

I find it a little bit funny that he is a pretty short guy with a pretty flat swing and his clubs are 1 degree upright. I am 6'2" and mine are 1 or 2 degrees flat... funny how that works out

Me too. I'm 5'8" and always interested in lie angles and club lengths for the shorter tour players.
Unless he cuts the club shorter, he may get away 1 deg upright.  But that would lose distance.
I play std lie & length and was thinking bending 1* flat.
Maybe it's an error, 1* flat instead of upright???

height doesn't have as much to do with lie angles as swing plane and angle of attack

SUCKS!!! Well they are badass at golf, but golf isn't a team sport...

[Jeeves]

I read a rumor on another golf blog that Puma is buying Cobra... I guess that may mean he may make the switch to Cobra in the near future? Could also mean that Camilo's wardrobe could be exploding pretty soon

[scottycameron95]

PUMA ALREADY BOUGHT COBRA. camilo gets payed too much to leave J. Lindberg

[eracar]

Cool putter, anyone knows what "steek" stands for?

[boxen]

It is a nickname; apparently (during college golf) someone with a southern accent tried to call him "stick", and it stuck.
