Very different bag! Great pics Greg

[scratchswinger]

I could play that exact setup.

[monkeynaut]

Bag looks slow.

[jpaul155]

Kind of a big gap from 21* hybrid to 5 iron, no ?

He must really like 913 fwys, don't see the old trusty v-steels on standby.

[eyewipe]

I don't get his shaft selections - Bassara in driver which is the highest launching shaft in the world and Speeder TS and Proforce V2 low launchers in his fairways and hybrids?

[JOHN GOLIA]

Aerotech Steelfiber in his irons.  Very nice

Actually, makes a great deal of sense when considering the fact that he is a relatively high spin player in woods- go with a lower loft driver to get spin rate down and use a higher launch shaft to get launch angle up a bit.

[Duff_Duffington]

All Titleist and an Odessey outter seems a litle odd

[ga_pike]

• What rain pants are those he is wearing?  They look like they could be hemmed for us shorter people.

This makes a lot of sense.  Clubhead controls spin much more than shaft in my opinion.

Still a shock to see a 50 gram shaft in his driver

Loft and head are the biggest factors to control spin rate and launch angle.  Still a relatively short hitter who probably prefers a softer feeling shaft in the driver.  There are tons of ways to get it done... but hes almost always used a lightweight in the driver going back several years.  I'm finding with better players they're using shaft to control feel.

Stricker does the same thing

[Chubzz]

Is his putter an older White Hot #5?

[PaulFitz]

Looks like a lot of guys on tour using the 18 degree FD...

[tembolo1284]

Greg sir you are an artist.

[mukster]

He should get rid of the Odyssey junk and put a SC in the bag. He would win a ton of majors.  

Nice WITB, thx!

Hugo Boss - I believe they are $250

[eldog-in-the-hizouse]

Well done Greg, BC has an interesting set up with an "eclectic" group of shafts...

I have several pairs of these, and they are great for us shorter guys

I hope Footjoy is throwing him a little money to wear those spikes. They look like he picked them up off the Sale rack at Dick's.

[College Golfer 2]

Great pictures!!!

Nice WITB, thx!

A GoLo circle T would be a great upgrade.  And he can put that same ratty tennis grip on it haha

[speeder757]

Seems like the Motore TS sure does get a lot of play in fwy's on the PGA tour

[tyro]

My favorite WITB.  Check his videos under the "Players" section of the Titleist website.  He has a great sense of humor, evident through Golf Boyz as well.  Two thumbs up all the way!
