SPOTTED: Jason Dufner using a TaylorMade M4 driver in Hawaii

Published

on

Ahead of the 2018 Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, we spotted Jason Dufner using a TaylorMade M4 driver, with what looks to be a Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange shaft. This is noteworthy since Jason Dufner has been a Titleist equipment staffer throughout his career, and had a bag full of Titleist clubs when he won the Memorial in 2017 (which is how he qualified for the TOC).

In the photo above, we also noticed he was not wearing his typical Titleist hat. Hmm. But after reaching out to Titleist’s representatives, this makes more sense; he’s no longer in a contract to play Titleist golf clubs or wear its hats. He will, however, continue to play a Titleist Pro V1x.

“Jason Dufner is now a Ball, Shoe, Glove endorser for Titleist/FootJoy,” a Titleist representative told us.

We’ve also reached out to TaylorMade reps, who have yet to respond. That means we do not know whether Dufner has signed or is looking to sign with TaylorMade, or whether he’s a free agent and just using TaylorMade’s new M4 driver.

We’ll update this story with more information as it becomes available.

    If he signed a ball, shoe and glove deal with Titleist then he obviously plays a Titleist ball… you make it sound like that is a surprise?

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
