I went to Golfsmith and checked it out. That thing is way too big. I do like the new 2-ball SRT putter though.

Great spirits will always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

IIRC, Rory Sabbatini was using the Tri-ball last weekend.

No, Sabbatini was using the new Scotty Cameron heel shafted C5 putter at the Nissan Open. Its huge and may have some similarities to the Tri-ball but that was definitely the SC C5, not the Tri-ball. At least it was in all the pictures I saw, unless he was switching putters somewhere during the weekend.

The new Scottys look like the Tri-Ball without the SRT weights, at least on TV. Reminds me of the old Tommy Armour T-Line putters. Everything old becomes new again at some point...

Slightly off-topic, but Rory

did switch irons over the weekend. He started the tournament playing the Nike NDS Irons (wha?) and switched back to his trusty Pro Combos on Saturday. Weird.

No, he wanted to switch for Sunday, but his wife told him that would be freakin' crazy. According to GolfWeek, anyway.

Yeah, I guess I only read the interview where he said he was thinking about doing it. My bad. And yeah, it would've been freakin' crazy.

What's with the NDS irons anyway... aren't those kinda game-improvementy for a ballstriker of Rory's caliber?

I'll leave all the jokes about Rory needing game improvement aside for now since he won something...

Nike had more tour players using the NDS irons than they expected. Grace Park took the Pro Combos out of her bag for the NDS, and I'm pretty sure a couple PGA Tour players did the same, at least for a while. They're solid clubs. The Slingshot irons are much more of a game improvement iron than the NDS.

Sabbatini's one of those guys who is either red hot or ice cold. His swing must have a lot to do with timing. When he's got it dialed in, he is long and straight. And when he's off, he looks like he might struggle to break 85. And in today's high-launch era, he still hits line drives off the tee.

    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen. 
    • Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂 
    • Well that's different.
