Can anyone tell me what irons Bo is using?

He has switched to a TM bag, woods, etc., but the limited view I got of his irons suggest they are definately not TM

Look like 710MB's or MP33's - is this correct?

Just curious about the TM sponsorship

The TM products he uses  is listed on TM's website - just driver and FWs:

I'd be interested to know how long his driver is.......it looks so short when he sets up to the ball.

That's cause he's a man-mountain.

He is a member and practices in Tulsa where I play.  I have had the pleasure of watching him hit on the range several times (most recently the week before the British).  I always say hello if we cross paths and then leave him to his business, being considerate of the fact that he is at work.  He definitely plays a TM Bag and TM RBZ driver and 3 wood (RBZ headcover, though not sure of the club).  I have seen him with at least 2 different bags though, once a TM carry bag with Oklahoma State graphics, the other times a TM tour bag.

He could very well play a 50 inch driver and make it look small.  I am 6'2 and I feel like a little kid standing in front of him.  I would think it looks even smaller based on his (in my opinion) extremely smooth tempo.  I have only played a few holes with him and his drive on our first hole (Par 5 - 520 Yards) was a thing of beauty and though not the longest I have seen on the hole, it was in the perfect spot for the best angle into the green and was effortless. I guess that is why he is playing professionally...

I was told he uses DGSL X100 with Sensicore in the irons.

The reason I am curious is that if/when TM bring out a new blade/players iron (long running thread on the go on WRX) he might be one of the first to go with it, as he is such a pure ball striker.

I have a sneakly feeling he isn't comfortable with the current TM iron line up, and would move to an all TM bag if the "new players iron" is as we hope

All TM fans - keep watching his bag

Or maybe he isn't getting paid to game irons...... If they have him only a driver/woods deal than he can game any iron he wants

Funny thing is when tour players don't have an iron deal mizuno is often the choice........they don't go running for TM irons unless paid or hoping to be paid

Im sure over half of the bags would be filled with Mizuno blades if there were no sponsors paying for iron play.
