Why Dustin Johnson loves his TaylorMade 7-wood

The 7-wood is back in style and it was the first club the World Number One hit in Thursday’s opening round at Riviera.
Dustin Johnson pulled his TaylorMade SIM Max 7-wood on the driveable par-4, and the club which he estimates that he carries 255-yards ended up rolling out 305-yards: “I hit it pretty much where I wanted to, it was just left of the green. It actually went a lot further than I thought” said Johnson.
The 21-degree club equipped with a Project X HZURDUS Black 95 6.5 shaft has been one of the reasons behind Johnson’s sharp ascent to the summit of the sport. After bagging the club at the PGA Championship back in August, DJ’s form has been otherworldly and reads T2-1-2-1-T6-T2-1-T11-1.
Speaking to Golf Channel following Thursday’s round, Johnson told the publication at Riviera why the club made its way into his bag and what it gives him that he can’t get from another fairway wood.
“I had a hybrid and then the 5-wood. A 5-wood and my 3-wood I hit like the same distance, so (TaylorMade) made me a 7-wood. When I first looked at it I’m like, I thought I was going to hit it straight in the air, but I hit it and it came out kind of nice and low with some spin. I was like, all right, put it in the bag.”
After putting the club in the bag, Johnson has earned over $20 million in prize money, and by the looks of his form since the PGA Championship, the club may be the secret ingredient behind the success.

Pros are just like us: Putting practice at the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational

The great equalizer in the game of golf is putting, and just like every other golfer that plays the game, PGA Tour players are always working to improve their work with the flatstick.
Much like the short game, putting does not require brute strength and generally comes down to simple technique and repeatability. This week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, we spotted a lot of pros on the practice green working hard with all types of training aids trying to improve on just that.

Bryson’s GC Quad meases 400-yard drives and 3-foot putts.

Spieth is always grinding with his favorite Scotty Cameron.

You don’t get to be the 16th ranked player in the world like Matt Fitzpatrick without working hard on your putting.

Kevin Kisner spotted working on core stability

Shane Lowry using the popular “gate” drill

Ian Poulter has been recently searching for a putter—and that pile behind him indicates he’s still looking.

Poulter was even spotted checking in with others around the green

Jason Dufner using the “bellied wedge drill” to help level out his stroke and improve contact.

The Putting Arc is a classic training aid that we continue to see players utilize

The Pelz trainer continues to be one of the most popular tools on tour
