The drivers are 1.5 degrees open with, I am sure, real stiff tip shafts. All in all, most folks cannot hit them, strictly for the elite tour types or power hitters.

Save your money unless you are a tour caliber golfer, that driver will be a thing of misery in the wrong persons hands......

I don't care much for the driver... I didn't think I ever could hit that thing... plus I absolutely HATE the sound of the callaway, nike and cleveland hi-bore drivers - of course thas moot. I was more going ga-ga over the irons, wedges and non-insert putter...

From thesandtrap article and the website, it seems to indicate that they are available now to the public. I think they are NOT YET in reality available, just that they are planning to make them so? I have yet to encounter a retailer who has them, anyone?

From what I've read, they are called "X Muscle." I posted a pic a few days ago on another thread. Apparently, they will be made available, this summer. I don't know how true that is. I've read that on two sites, though.

Callaway did a pretty good job of taking a TaylorMade idea..

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

Please stop talking out of your butt or you'll go back in the penalty box.

TaylorMade's "TP" line of clubs is no different, really, than several other manufacturers' "Tour" line of clubs. Or, if you're willing to bend a little bit, Scotty Cameron's "Circle T" line (Titleist doesn't play the "Tour" game).

Yes, if you mean rapeing people for $$$$ by stamping some sort of "tour" marking on the club and opening the face to neutral or open instead of closed, then yes you are correct.

Anyways the clubs look nice. I like the look of the irons.

      Day 206 3-11 Focused on wider backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. Wasn't really happy with how swing was looking today. Wider backswing is very different for me. Went back to do a some longer pauses at the top. Hit a few foam balls.

      This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score

      2026 Players Championship

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

      We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
