Tiger Woods playing new TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver and 3-wood at PNC (In-hand pics)

Published

on

Just a few days after landing on the USGA and R&A’s conforming list, TaylorMade’s new Stealth Plus driver was put in play on Friday during the PNC Championship Pro-Am by none other than Tiger Woods.

At his hotly anticipated comeback event, Woods was spotted at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, with the new Stealth Plus driver as well as the Stealth Plus 3-wood in the bag.

Woods’ driver on Friday appeared to be 1.5 degrees open, giving the club a loft of 8.25 degrees total, while the club’s sliding weight port was moved towards a draw setting.

The new Stealth and Stealth Plus drivers from TaylorMade, feature “60X Carbon Twist Face” written on the face of the clubs, while both contain an adjustable hosel mechanism and Speed Pocket slot, which is positioned behind the leading edge.

The Stealth Plus driver features an adjustable, 10-gram weight—placed near the face, right behind the Speed Pocket. Unlike the driver, the Stealth Plus 3-wood does not feature the red/orange face contained on the new drivers from TaylorMade.

As well as testing the new TaylorMade driver and fairway wood this week, Woods is also putting a prototype version of the new Bridgestone Tour B XS golf ball into play at the PNC Championship which begins on Saturday.

    Sheesh! I would buy it just for that red face. But I think that’s only a removable sticker.

Spotted: Axis1 prototype broomstick putter

Published

on

We have seen an uptick in longer putters out on the professional tours with players gravitating toward either counterbalanced or broomstick styles. As a refresher, A “broomstick” putter is a long putter that is usually built to a length that goes up to your chest. If you have seen Adam Scott putt in a tournament recently, he uses what is classified as a broomstick putter.

Axis1 might not be the most common brand in the world of putters but they have been around a while, most notably in Justin Rose’s bag.

Axis1 is known for a putter that doesn’t look traditional but a design is used to get the center of gravity to the center of the club face, aligned with the shaft. This technology keeps the face aligned with the ball throughout the stroke. More traditional putters rotate around the shaft axis, which doesn’t align with the center of the putter, making it easier for the putter face to not be square to the target at impact.

This week at the Valero Texas Open, we spotted a prototype Axis1 putter in a long broomstick version. The head shape looks very similar to the current Axis1 Tour-HM putter that the company currently makes, which is a more squared-off mid-mallet. The prototype looks to have a similar multi-material head with a 304 stainless steel face mated to a composite back. Twin site lines run together, on the topline and on the flange, to create a longer line for aligning the putter. The steel face has a fairly shallow milling to it, and the flowing heel hosel connects to the aggressive shaft bend.

A matching black shaft is installed, and at the grip end is Super Stroke’s Zenergy Tour 1.0 two-piece in white and black. No word on if or when this will come to retail yet.
