So I was just watching him play on T.V and it looks like he is using an odyssey XG9 is this correct?

I really like it

He does use a #9, but not exactly . He uses something similar to the XG #9, but it's a tour issue type thing, and is made especially for Phil.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

It's the White Hot XG #9 but I believe it is customized specifically for him. Maybe the black series is more similar to his.

It'd be a lefty model, though.

Watching Phil put is like and instructional video to me. The guy gets his arms down there and gets over the ball. It helped me recently getting down lower and "lenghthening" my arms. Watching Phil sparked this change. Not sure about his putter model....looks like it has roots on the famed Wilson model (I tried one of those for a brief while.....results were ugly for me).

Phill goes back and forth between the 9 which is only 33 inches and a special blade he had designed from odessey.

I believe it was 33 1/2" and now he's using a 35" putter. You know, because he "grew" an inch or two due to his stretching (i.e. he has slightly better posture now).

his is really just a blade wilson 8802 style. I switch between a yes sophia and a wilson forged special blade putter and they are both killer. I almost like the old wilson better... :)

No, it's not. I deleted your post the first time you said it because you're wrong. The quickest of web searches would have told you that, too.

Read it on Phil's site if you'd like.

Source: Phil Mickelson Why the move to a longer-shafted putter? I've known that I've become a half-inch, inch taller for a few years... through some of the stretching and stuff [but] I hadn't really made an adjustment to that. I just thought [after the Masters], 'Gosh, I'm not putting well and now is the time to make an adjustment if I'm going to go to a longer putter.' So when I came back and started working on it, I just started with a 35-inch putter rather than a 33 1/2

WOW, That is impressive work there. However in a sense we're both wrong. I played against Phil in college and at that time it was 29", no joke. Not trying to be a smartass-that is the truth

Uhm, your public profile here says you were born in 1985. That makes you 22. Phil was born in 1970. He's 38. You must have been quite the child prodigy to have played against Phil when you were four years old in college. Besides, you said "is" 29 inches. That's current tense, not past.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
