Did he switch to the Diamana Blue? Short life for the Ozik, it seems like.

[Sakman]

Did you get a chance to look at the fairway wood he's using in the first sequence? Don't quote me, but it may be the new Fusion that is due out next year.

I didnt. Notice that either. He was drilling it though.

Do you know how long he has had the Ozik in his driver? He's had it for quite awhile. He's only changed because he's shaking things up, afterall you do know what shaft he won with this year right?

I think it's just a custom headcover that he wanted. It LOOKS like like the FT-i headcover with the 25th anniversary colors and the FT-5 writing on it. I'm pretty certain it's not the 25th anniversary cover that came out at the beginning because those were neoprene covers with pom-poms on them.

He actually first switched from the Ozik to an Aldila Shaft a couple tournaments ago, and switched the Diamana at the US Open.

Another forum had some great pics of CHIII using a prototype 3 wood back at Bay Hill.(not sure if it's allowed to post images marked from another forum). Quite possibly could be the new fusion, but it looks loosely based off the Callaway Japan ERC Hyper Driver sole, but has a normal type hosel.



At the Open he was supposedly using Diamana's in everything.

[bgolfing]

Two things:
His head stays so still, esp for his power you would think it would move some. You can really see it ojn the second set of pics with the trees behind his head.
I am not a Callaway fan at all, but I have to give them credit for the X forged. Those are really nice looking irons.

[KDMullins]

If anybody wants to know how a 150 lb guy hits it as far as CHIII, look at these 2 pics...unreal.  What a great swing!

Thanks for the pics.

[italian71]

Is there a mirror or some type of training device on the ground in front of him?

[tmac7592]

no it is a lie board i believe

[DavidR]

What a sweet swing. Great bag as well.

Interesting that he is sponsered by the DuPont Registry. Wonder if they provide cars for him at all the stops...that would be a sweet gig.

[tembolo1284]

any updates?

[station2station]

as of September 2010 he is obviously with Bridgestone using J38 irons and a TM Supertri driver.  He had a PING Rapture V2 in the bag for a short while after leaving Callway.  

...but CHIII is a gearhead and changes often.

[Snell golfer2014]

ANy new updates?

[300Drive]

Yep, Mizuno cavity back forged irons.....

[theironhorse]

From coverage last weekend I could swear he was gaming JPX 800 Pro, but not sure.  Nobody have any updates for him in 2011?

[Ness]

From the pics I've seen here and on some other sites, I think this is what he's using:

TaylorMade R11 TP

Callaway Diablo 3 Wood (and had a R11 for the practice round at the Hope)

TaylorMade 11 Rescue TP

Mizuno MP JPX Pro

Mizuno MP T 11 Wedges

Odyssey White Hot 2 Ball

[lobub]

Saw him at the Farmer's Insurance yesterday (1/29/11). Definitely using an R11 with a Mizuno headcover.

[tembolo1284]

DRIVER: TaylorMade R11 (9.5*) with an Oban Devotion 7 X shaft
FAIRWAY WOOD: Callaway Big Bertha Diablo (15*) with a Mitsubishi Rayon Fabuki Tour 80 X shaft
HYBRID: Titleist 909H (19*) with an Aldila Voodoo NV8 X shaft
IRONS: Mizuno JPX-800 Pro (4-PW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold X-100 shafts
WEDGES: Mizuno MP-T11 (52*, 56*, 58*) with True Temper Dynamic Gold X-100 shafts
PUTTER: Odyssey White Hot 2-Ball
BALL: Titleist Pro V1

He's playing well right now at Bay Hill. Nobody cares about CHIII anymore.

He def has quite the mixed bag.

[SOONERMAGIC]

love that swing

He is playing well, and it's too bad the media isn't talking about him.  He is a great player and technically very sound.  They feel they've been burned too many times by CHIII who never was able to get it done.  Far too few wins.
