I was able to meet up with Tadd Fujikawa today. As you can guess, he's been extremely busy since finishing yesterdays Sony Open. Everyone and anyone you can think of wants a piece of him. But like he's always been, very humble and appreciative of all the attention. When I first saw him I told him, "Gee, we were just watching you on tv!". My friend said, "Yeah....for the fiftieth time on the Golf Channel!". All he could say was "Really???" and let out a big laugh. He's been so busy, I don't think he's had time to sit and watch tv! When I told Tadd and his Mom that everyone's been asking about his clubs and wanting to see pics, they were amazed and very happy to hear that people were happy with him and his performance. Tadd was kind enough to go back to his Mom's car..yes he can't drive yet...and bring in his bag for pictures to share with the GolfWRX community.

So here you go guys...from Tadd to you.......his WITB!


Driver....Callaway FT-5 8.5* with Ozik Code 6
3 Wood...Callaway X Hot 15* bent to 13* with Ozik Code 6
Hyrbrid....G Field GFT-UW 19* w/ Dynamic Gold
4 to PW...Callaway X Tours w/Project X shafts. -1/2"
52* Callaway X Wedge....stamped Tadd and WF 06/ For Winged Foot 2006.....obtained when he played the US Open
56* Callaway X Wedge
60* Sonartec Wedge with custom grind by Carlton Masui
Putter...Cameron Welded Neck Centershaft

Like any good GolfWRX fan....Tadd said nothing is set. The Driver and 3 wood may be on their way out as they only went in at the Sony. Tadd wasn't too pleased with the Ozik's and there is a strong possibility the ON OFF Driver with Axiv V and G Field 3 wood with Mamiya Jumbo would probably be back in the bag when he hits the links next month here in Hawaii.

Those are some insane pics....THANKS
You should tell him he he ever needed the money there are some desperate golfers who would die for that bag

[pm hacker]

Seems you've been putting in some OT taking pics for the Sony Good job with exclusive !!!

[Damo75]

Awesome job Pitbull. Well done mate. Great pics...

I know you can't tell just from the TV , but he seems like a geniunely nice kid. Just wondering how he would go with having his name on his golf bag. Thought there was a rule about this regarding Amateur status. I'm sure there were plenty of people at the tourney who know the rules back to front so I assume it's all fine.

Again - great job/pics. Thanks.

[mankit]

Damn great pictures!! BTW do you know the flexes he's using in his clubs?

[tulkaz]

Great Pics! Thanks Reid! =)

BTW: Did you took those with cellphone camera?

[Ducky]

30" putter... that has to make him feel good.

Don't rip him, he has long arms. Anyone know how much he won in gift certificates for making the cut?

Oh and Thanks for the pics pitbull.

[glenwayputters]

Reid

great job with the pictures.

I hear he is a special young man and will be making a few more appearances this year on the PGA Tour.

Thanks

Jay

[sync71]

Those are some sick pictures! Great job on getting some up close pictures of his bag. You should have asked Tadd if he wanted to join the site.

[Sakman]

As always, fantastic work Reid! I cannot express how much I enjoyed watching this kid play and his enthusiasm for the game. He's got a great future ahead of him and I wish him all the best!

It's nice to see Sonartec getting some love. That T35 wedge is SICK!!!!

[papichulosteve]

awesome pics. if hes looking to ditch that ft-5 i know a few people on the main land that wouldn't mind havin it

p.s. that 60* wedge looks CRAZY!!!!

[tmac7592]

nice pics

[HipCheck]

Reid, that's fantastic. Thanks for so much information and sharing it.

[easyyy]

Great WITB Reid! No 3 iron and went to the Hybrid. 4 wedge system. Different strokes for every golfer.

[Rich71691]

Very Nice! Thanks guys for the pics

[freddiec]

I repeat. That kid Rocks. Great clubs too.

[Ascan]

Outstanding job. Way to go!

[JHR]

Reid, way to keep the continued coverage from Hawaii, you missed your true calling, you should have been a journalist or a reporter, absolutely great stuff my friend, Thanks for all the effort.

Tadd should start getting some serious offers from the club companies, and he should.

[scratchskier]

Tadd broke the amatuer rule, with his name on his golf bag.

[tolsenbb]

Great Pics! Thank, and that really is nice of him to go back just to get them.

[Springbok]

Thanks for the pics Pitbull, but you forgot the most important question. I was dying to know what his lie angle is on his irons, given the fact that he is only 5'1". Are his irons regular length? I am thinking they have to be at least 4-6* flat. Assuming a height of 5.1 and a wrist to floor of around 29".

[Mapleleaf14]

Reid, once again you have kicked butt! Great pics and story. You can't help but like Tadd.

[tarheel]

thanks for the great pics.

[nickc445]

Reid,

Thanks from one more haole. Especially on the Cameron center-shaft info.

I'm curious about his flexes, as well???

[bruinmw]

Those are some great pics. Thanks for all the great coverage of the Sony...



Next time I'm out visiting family, I'd love to get some golf in w/ the wrx guys out there...

From what i read The USGA states if you BUY your bag and put your ame on it you are not breaking any rule!

[pga_apprentice]

Kudos, Reid!

[GDI Tour AD DI]

You guys like that t35 60* grind!!! What a week for Tad....he was wearing Trion:Z and playing Sonartec!!

[ghodges]

Super pics...gotta pile on the thx that have already been sent.

[TXgolfer130]

Awesome pics! If you see him again...tell him great job from the mainland.

And as far as his name on the bag...if he buys it he can put his name on it. The only problem is...the US OPEN & the 25th Anniversary bags...at the time he was playing them at the events were only available to "contracted" staff players. You or I could not walk into a Golfsmith or Discount Dan's and pick one up off the merchandise floor. So if he was given one, he could not put his name on it. If he bought it he can, but I can't see how he bought one, and still be within the rules.

I hope there is another loophole around this...but I can't find one. Here's to TADD anyway.

[Crosier]

Amateur status isn't what it used to be...I don't think after that performance he'll wait too long to turn pro. He's energetic and has a great smile with a decent game, he'll have no problem getting a contract.

In his current set up ....

G Field...DG SL Stiff
X Tours....Project X 7.0

[TXgolfer130]

Now that's what I call reporting!

[TM golf guy]

That is quite the sick grind on the Sonartec. Love the Cameron putter. I'm a little surprised he doesn't have the new X-Tours. And the Code 6 in the driver and 3 wood is an interesting choice as well. And those shaft choices are freaking boards!!! Does anybody know his SS? He must be pumping it out there.

Great pictures Reid.

[newportbeach]

Awesome - thanks a million for all the effort. And congrats to Tadd hopefully we will see you again on Sunday soon.
