In-hand photos of Scottie Scheffler’s new Scotty Cameron custom mallet putter

Published

on

After winning four times in 2022 with a Scotty Cameron Special Select Tour Type GSS prototype blade putter, it appears world No. 1-ranked Scottie Scheffler is making a drastic putter switch at the 2022 CJ Cup.

On Tuesday at Congaree Golf Club, we spotted Scheffler with a new Scotty Cameron T-5.5 Proto mallet putter, with custom engravings on the toe and heel portions.

According to Scotty Cameron rep Brad Cloke, Scheffler has a similar putter at home, and he felt his starting lines were a bit better than his previous blade.

The new putter has three alignment lines at address, specific face millings to match the feel of his old GSS putter, and Cloke said Scheffler is all-in on the putter this week after receiving the new putter last week.

    Starting lines matter not if your aimline is a misread. Only one putter corrects that, and it is at eBay P&SI EGOS is the magic formula.

    I like it, the design is good because tge blade is relatively short and the rails at those angles do two tings they direct the eyes to the center of the putter and structurally direct the force created as tge putter is stroked to tge center as well. I would love to have one!

    I hope it works out for him. I switched from a NP2 to a 5.5 and struggled mightily. Switched back to my NP2 and my handicapped dropped back down.

    Does this sort of thing ever end up well? The number 1 player in the world, winning essentially everything, changing putters for no good reason?

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
