    How could you let yourself go so much? She looks 20 years older than what she is and is 100 plus overweight.

    Not that she is young, but she looks so old for her age. Really fat too! Gross 🙁

    I saw Laura in person for the first time at the 1991 Mazda Championship in Bethesda, MD. The temperature was in the 90s and humid but she strolled with confidence wearing a sleeveless sweater over a polo. She seems very down to earth, and has always had my respect as a person and a professional golfer.

      She wore the sweater in the 90 degree weather because she is f at as h ell. Nobody wants to see that blubber jiggle all over the place. If Laura wore a regular golf shirt it would be very disturbing to see. I would say more disturbing than the planes flying into the WTCs on 9 11.

    God Bless her…She’s awesome. Funny, can hang with ANYONE…Whole lotta shaking goin’ on with that swing..

    Bad back, bad hip – got it done for years. I show her swing to many of my ‘Xlarge’ students & with my 14 broken bones & 7 ortho surgeries – most military & 9/11 first responder injuries – and introduce it as “Here’s me in drag”… 😉

    Judging by a couple of pics online the putter looks like an Odyssey Exo Rossie, an English website is saying Odyssey Red Ball

    Has anyone ever seen Laura Davies and Colin Montgomery at the same time? Makes one wonder if they aren’t one in the same?

      Wait a minute, better yet, there’s a Senior LPGA Tour?

    Interesting. I’d think she’d play the more forgiving parallax in the 2 iron and then have the 4-9 irons as the Lynx Tour (which is a pure blade, from what I can see on Lynx’s website). Sure you didn’t get these mixed up?

    The new Lynx line of irons looks pretty strong for a first year comeback. Too bad these will likely not make it to Canada. Would lobe to try out the Prowler VT’s!

Did Rory McIlroy inspire Shane Lowry’s putter switch?

Published

on

Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.

The timing of Lowry’s putter changeup was curious: Was he just using a Spider putter because he was paired with McIlroy, who’s been using a Spider Tour X head throughout 2024? Was Lowry just being festive because it’s the Zurich Classic, and he wanted to match his teammate? Did McIlroy let Lowry try his putter, and he liked it so much he actually switched into it?

Well, as it turns out, McIlroy’s only influence was inspiring Lowry to make more putts.

When asked if McIlroy had an influence on the putter switch, Lowry had this to say: “No, it’s actually a different putter than what he uses. Maybe there was more pressure there because I needed to hole some more putts if we wanted to win,” he said with a laugh.

To Lowry’s point, McIlroy plays the Tour X model, whereas Lowry switched into the Tour Z model, which has a sleeker shape in comparison, and the two sole weights of the club are more towards the face.

Lowry’s Spider Tour Z has a white True Path Alignment channel on the crown of his putter, which is reminiscent of Lowry’s former 2-ball designs, thus helping to provide a comfort factor despite the departure from his norm. Instead of a double-bend hosel, which Lowry used in his 2-ball putters, his new Spider Tour Z is designed with a short slant neck.

“I’ve been struggling on the greens, and I just needed something with a fresh look,” Lowry told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship. “It has a different neck on it, as well, so it moves a bit differently, but it’s similar. It has a white line on the back of it [like my 2-ball], and it’s a mallet style. So it’s not too drastic of a change.

“I just picked it up on the putting green and I liked the look of it, so I was like, ‘Let’s give it a go.’”
