Jordan Spieth puts 2021 Titleist Pro V1x in play

Published

on

Equipment changes are the norm on the PGA Tour, but when it comes to the golf ball, Spieth has been very particular in recent years — which makes his switch up at this week’s Byron Nelson all the more interesting.

The Texan has been using the same 2017 Titleist model since its launch (technically, since the 2016 Australian Open, which he won), but per our tour photographer, a Titleist golf ball rep revealed that Spieth has switched to the new Titleist Pro V1x ball this week.

Spieth’s caddie Michael Greller confirmed the news of the switch with the photo below.

Here’s what a couple of our members have been saying, with the news that Spieth is only switching for the first time in 5 years coming as a surprise to some.

  • Bentron: “Wait so Jordan has been playing the 2015 pro v1x all this time?”
  • TheEldrickWand: “Seems like a weird time to be switching after the last month or so of being dialed in. I know it’s gotta be v similar, but Spieth just strikes me as a guy who would notice incredibly minute details and feels with his gear.”

Check out the full discussion on the switch here.

Spotted: Nate Lashley’s Ping PLD “Wolverine” putter

Published

on

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.
