Phil Mickelson spotted with new Callaway driver (and 178 mph ball speed) in holiday video
At GolfWRX, we have a keen eye for things “out of the ordinary,” and in a recent video shared to both Instagram and Twitter, Phil Mickelson is spotted not only hitting his recently internet famous “bombs”—while admitting to “needing more speed”—(eye roll from every regular golfer trying to break the 140 mph mark when it comes to ball speed) but…
…we also get a glimpse of what looks to be the next yet-to-be-named driver from Callaway in the video.
Check it out below.
Wishing everyone a happy holiday season. Let’s all put in the work to make 2021 a special year. ? pic.twitter.com/aVO1eYlJk3

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.
This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.
Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.
Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.

Phil advertising a Driver? – now this is funny, he wouldn’t hit a fairway that was 500 yards wide regardless of ball speed

Yet another driver Phil will claim is the answer and best ever (same thing he has said about the last 6 or 7) will have one or two good rounds and then be back to hitting it all over the place. Come on people if Callaway cannot make a driver Phil can keep in play what are the chances they make one the 15 handicapper is going to keep in play?

Old man Mick needs accuracy, not faster club head speed.

Have to say I’m more interested to find out if they are replacing the Apex Irons line-up in 2021. I know they’ve got the Apex MB and CB’s coming but I’d like to know if there’s more coming to the PGA show next month.

Yes Apex pro’s, Apex forged and Apex “DCB” I think is what I saw – all new for ’21

The autoflex has been shown to be overrated.
