Heres an interesting article about the man behind Tiger's bag...Mr. Steve Williams...I hope you enjoy it...any comments?

"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."

Awesome article.

One quick question. The article reports:
  None said:
Steve retorts that he still plans to sue Tiger over accidentally striking him with a wedge during last year's PGA.

I don't remember this (the hitting with the wedge) happening. I'm not doubting it, I just want to learn more about it. Can anyone fill me in on the details?

I believe the story is... Tiger flipped him a wedge as he usually does (Stevie tosses the putter to Tiger). Stevie misjudged and hit hit him on the head.

If you've ever hit yourself on the head with the head of a wedge... it can hurt, yeah.

This makes sense. I was picturing backswing or follow-through.

Yeah, I've been hit in the head with a wedge, but thankfully it was the grip end. My one time throwing a club on the course was a baton-twirl after holing out from the sand. It hurt, and I can imagine a head of the wedge will hurt more. Especially since Tiger's casual tosses probably have more force in them than my casual twirls.

Almost every round I twirl my club around down low and I hit the ball of my ankle all the time.
