Valero Texas Open Tour Truck Report: Stenson back in Diablo, Rickie’s limited-edition driver, latest AutoFlex-er
With the Masters next week, players who have punched their tickets to Augusta National will be making the proverbial “final tune-ups” to gear and games at TPC San Antonio.
Those who are without an iconic Masters invitation card have but one path into the field of the first major of the year: a Valero Texas Open victory.
Accordingly, there’s a whiff of desperation blowing in the Texas wind. Even players who can count themselves among the fortunate next week are searching—such as Henrik Stenson, who is returning to his beloved Callaway Diablo Octane Tour 3-wood.
As a reminder, you can check out all our photos from the Valero Texas Open here.
Callaway
Phil Mickelson is testing a new prototype version of the PM Grind wedge. Unfortunately, Callaway is mum on any further details!
Also on the Phil phront: Mickelson put a Fujikura Ventus Black 6 TX shaft in his Mavrik driver.
As mentioned in the introduction, Henrik Stenson has shelved his Mavrik 3-wood in favor of his immortal beloved, Diablo Octane Tour 3-wood.
Stenson is also gaming an Odyssey 2-Ball Ten putter.
Branden Grace is testing an AutoFlex shaft.
Titleist
Bernd Wiesberger is testing a new TSi2 13.5-degree fairway wood with a TPT Hi 14 shaft (he’s currently gaming a 15-degree TSi2).
Lanto Griffin moved into a TSi3 (10 degrees, D4 SureFit setting).
Chesson Hadley is testing a TSi3 (10 degrees). He’s seeing better control and increased ball speed. (Hadley is currently in a 10-degree TSi2).
An update, of sorts—and an aesthetically pleasing one—on Byeong Hun An’s 60-T
