Looks like he switched putters, he is using an Anser milled this week instead of his normal Scottsdale Anser.

Is he still using those G5 fairways? Does he go the Driver - 7.2, Fairway - 8.2 route?

How many clubs would Ping mandate?

[j-daniel]

10 including putter and driver. I think is the standard ping contract.

I think Ping mandates 14 clubs and have for a few years.

I recall Hunter M.  using Callaway wedges and Louis O. Nike fairway woods

[KillerBgolfer]

The last post I saw for Watson, Mahan, and louis from PING were that they had to carry 11 clubs, including driver and putter.

Louis was using an RBZ at the masters too, so not sure if they demand all 14 clubs, but driver and putter are likely mandated.

[j-daniel]

like i said i do beleive all ping staffers are contracted to play 10 ping clubs that must include driver and putter but from there they choose what they want but basically means they have to play ping irons to make the clubs up.

but thats why we see hunter with cally wedges and oosty with nike/rbz wood and mark wilson with his trusty cleveland 3 wood.

Calc uses Callaway 3 and 5 woods also

Looks like he is playing some satin strapless shaft in Dubai.  C tapers maybe?

So Shrek in a strapless? You really love golf.

^^^ Satin, no less...

Watching this guy sort of aggravates me.  He's got such a good swing and is near the top of a lot of leader boards but seems to have trouble closing.

HA!  How did I NOT notice the SATIN STRAPLESS thing.

I'd like Oosty to win another major in 2013. That swing makes me sort of chubby.

PING staff contracts say driver, irons, and putter.  The rest is up to them...

I was always told it was 11 clubs including driver and putter which pretty much means you have to play the irons too... LOL.

i tried the i15 and the face was so shallow i could not get it higher than 10 feet off the ground, the g5 was decent tho

The i15 woods are the best Ping woods in the past decade for me.  Playable, long, and easy to hit.  Ping staffers that don't play the current line of woods probably prefer taller faced woods like you.  Calc uses Steelheads, Mark Wilson plays Hibore XLS, and Louis has rotated G5/SQII/RBZ.  The G5s featured a 455 steel face which I liked, but otherwise I found that club not easily playable from the turf.
