odyssey 3 ball?

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

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

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.

[iowa_hacker]

You're right. Not sure why I thought it was the Tri-ball.

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...

[Mr. Doug]

Er...no.

Rory was using a Prototype Scotty Cameron. The "C5" as it's now known.

That's what muskegman said, I agreed and, I think, Don meant.

[kugino]

Er...no.

i love the look of this putter...any word on whether it will be part of the 2006 line?

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?

[iacas]

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.
