Genesis Invitational Tour Truck Report: DJ testing driver shafts, Xander’s new irons
It’s always a big week at Riviera, but from a tour truck standpoint, it was actually pretty mellow. Some testing here and there with the big news being DJ testing a bunch of driver shafts. Anytime a world No. 1 does anything to his setup, it’s always news.
Titleist
Brian Harman switched into a Graphite Design Tour AD IZ 5 X in his TSi2 (9 degrees).
Lanto Griffin went from TSi2 (10 degrees) driver to TSi3 driver (10 degrees). His shaft of choice is the Project X HZURDUS Smoke Black 70 6.5 TX.
Aaron Dill AKA @vokeywedgerep
Lots of fresh grooves this week (staffers)
Cam Davis 60T
Jordan Spieth 60T
Matt Jones 60-12D
Adam Scott 60-12D @10 (new)
Robert Streb 60-04L
“Adam Scott is making changes to his 60-12D. Mentioned with firmer conditions, he wanted to feel less forward bounce on his lob wedge. Took his 60-12D and reduced forward bounce and camber down two degrees. This allowed the face to get closer to the ground and move his strike a little higher up the face in increasing his launch slightly.”
Ping
Scott Harrington put a new G425 LST 3-wood (14.5 degrees) in the bag this week. It’s equipped with a Fujikura Ventus Blue 8 X shaft.
Kevin Streelman (non-staffer) added a bit of loft to his G425 LST (9 degrees). Streelman still has the five-plus-year-old Aldila Rogue Silver 125MSI 70 TX.
TaylorMade
Collin Morikawa tested irons with TaylorMade rep Adrian Rietveld working back into a combo set he has preferred in the past. The current combo this week with TaylorMade’s P7MC (4-6) into P730 (7-PW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts.
Collin Morikawa WITB
Driver: TaylorMade SIM (8 degrees @ 9.5)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 70 TX
3-wood: TaylorMade SIM Titanium “Rocket” (14 degrees @ 13.5)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited D+ 80 TX
Hybrid: TaylorMade SIM2 Max Rescue (19 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White Hybrid 100 TX
Irons: TaylorMade P7MC (4-6), TaylorMade P730 (7-PW)
Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100
Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM8 (52-12F, 56-14F) TaylorMade Hi Toe2 (60-07LB)
Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400
Putter: TaylorMade FCG
Ball: TP5 21
Rather monumental potential iron shaft switch for Rory McIlroy: @trottiegolf shared a truck ticket with an order for a new set of P7MB’s with True Temper Dynamic Gold X7’s. We will see if they go in play.

Dustin Johnson was doing some serious shaft testing this week and was spotted with a LAGP Proto “Made for DJ” prototype. Johnson is currently trying to find a shaft that would complement the SIM2/Max head. This particular prototype has a VERY stable tip, which complements DJ’s desire to never miss it left.
LAG DJ Proto 2 of 2 (LAG made two trotos to test). The shaft is 73 grams, which is a bit heavier than his normal gamer.
If it goes in this week, we will get more info. Stay tuned.
Callaway
Xander Schauffele put a new set of “Raw” TCB irons in play (4-PW) with Nippon Pro Modus3 130X shafts. Xander was also testing a Mavrik Sub Zero 4-wood with a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8 X and Mavrik 7-wood with a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 9 X. He will also most likely have his Mizuno MP-20 HMB 3-iron in play this week at Riviera.
Kevin Na tested an Epic Speed Sub Zero Triple Diamond (9 degrees) with a Graphite Design Tour AD GP 6 TX shaft.
Francesco Molinari tested an Epic Speed Triple Diamond driver (9 degrees) with a Fujikura Ventus Red 6 X and an Epic Speed 3-wood (15 degrees) with a Fujikura Ventus Red 7 X.
Marc Leishman was also testing Epic Speed Triple Diamond (9) with a Fujikura Speeder EVO IV 757 TX.
ScottEG/KBS
Luke List had a new set of PXG 0311 ST irons built up with KBS Tour V 125 S+ shafts.
Bryson Dechambeau made some loft adjustments to his SIK Proto putter. BAD was looking to add a bit of loft to get the ball on top of the grass a bit better heading into the Florida swing.
Free agents/miscellaneous
Charl Schwartzel was testing Mitsubishi Chemical’s new Kai’li Blue 70 TX and 80 TX shafts in his TaylorMade SIM2 3- and 5-woods.
Harold Varner III tested a Ping G425 LST (10.5 degrees @11.5) with a Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 7 X shaft.

I know it’s pedantic but you guys are STILL spelling “HZRDUS” wrong.

Roll face putters getting back in style. They have been around for a while with Tear Drop putters and few other putter manufacturers. There is legitimacy to the technology. Owned a Tommy Armour Todd Sones carbon steel milled putter with roll face for many years. It is high-end putter (not like the cheap TA stuff today) and one of my favorite all time putters with the best feel with the milled carbon steel.

Great stuff JW. But why would Bryson need to “add loft” when the SIK golf putters makes the “perfect roll” not matter if you deloft or add loft??
Crazy that Rors is going up in weight. A lot!
