wrong, his loft is 7.5 with a diamana whiteboard 83x flex. Can you please stop saying tiger plays miura irons without having any proof of this. tiger woods plays nike and only nike irons, not miura, mizzy or titleist irons with nike stamp, they are nike forged blades. i know this because thats what tiger says he plays, you find better information than that then you can continue to tell people what you think he plays. thanks

Sorry bout that. But yeah I totally agree with you at how everybody is saying "Miura this, Miura that". It's all a bunch of BS.

exactly, which is why he says they are nike forged. Where in fact, tiger has been playing miura forged blades ever since he switched over to titleist in the mid 90's. Tiger gets payed millions of dollars from nike, do you honestly think he wont do something they say that would get nike very mad? And also, of course a nike sales rep is going to tell you that he plays nike forged, half of those idiots dont even know aht they are talking about... and the other half are just trying to make some cash by telling white lies.

this debate will never die. even though there is no proof that Tiger uses Miura forged irons, and even though Tiger and his manager say they are forged at the same foundry all Nike irons are forged at. people will just believe what they believe, and we will probably never know the truth....

Yeah your right. Nike reps will lie, but Miura reps won't ever lie!

And for the record, I would believe Tiger's manager over a Miura rep. Like it has been said, sale's reps don't know any secrets of the company, let alone secrets about Tiger's clubs.

Now this is a rumor, and I have no proof. But I have read on a few different websites that his shaft is tipped 1". If that's true his shaft would be a WhiteBOARD!

Here's what I play:

miura forges alot of the pros irons, like retief goosen and sergio just to name a few. So having other companies forge the pros irons is very common.

Sergio? Really? Another iron conspiracist maybe? last time I checked Serg played TM irons.

And therein lies the rumors, they are caused by assumption.

Sergio and Retief are both TM staffers. Yes Stow, Sergio uses TM irons, and so does Retief. But up until a few years ago (2 or 3) TM used Miura to make their forged irons, RAC CB's, and so on. And you can bet your money that TM would keep that relationship with Miura for their staff players, even without offering it to the general public anymore.

Here's what I play:

In fairness I think the misunderstanding about Tigers irons comes from the fact they are forged by Endo (another Japanese forging company, similar to Miura) who also forge the rest of Nike's irons.

This is my understanding of it anyway, I could be mistaken but im 99% sure Miura have nothing to do with Tiger.

I guess some of you think the headcover on Tour players drivers always represent what driver they play too? If so your mis informed.

I don't think anyone who follows the tour and tour equipment at even a minimal level assumes that.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Went back to feeling the hands slowing down and stopping at A3. Feel a significant pause at A3. Hands down towards the ground. I get the mental image of Morikawa with how he pauses at the top of the swing, but then really rips at it.  For me, I have to  grip the club about 5° open. Or at least what looks like. With the driver, it’s another story. A bit of a regression here. Lots of John Daly– esque over swing. Lots of  shallowing with the body. If I try to send the club behind me with the hands going down to the ground. I have a bad habit of timing that with an over swing. So, I had to go back to feeling a significant positive again to control the back swing length. Then I went back to try to bring the back of the right hand down to my right hip. It feels stupidly, awkward. Like no flow to the swing. But from A6 through impact  feels more effortless. Now I’m hitting some decent push cuts this way. In the swing feels like it has no speed. But, it’s probably better overall. something I noticed that is way different from my irons to my driver is that with my irons I can keep my eyes looking at the ball much better through the downswing. With the driver, I find it pretty much impossible to do. Will post some videos later.

      18-Hole Approach Shot Game

      By iacas ·

      The text, in case Elon ever kills Twitter (more than he already has): Quick 18-hole game you can play on a launch monitor: Write 90, 95, 100, 105… 175 on 18 balls. Put them in a bag, pick one out, try to carry the ball the listed distance. Scoring: - ≤ 1 yd, Eagle - 1.1 - 3 yds, Birdie - 3.1 - 6 yds, Par - 6.1 - 9 yds, Bogey - > 9 yards, Double Of course, you don't have to do it with 18 balls; you can use slips of paper, etc. You could also set a start and end point and randomly generate 18 numbers, and play to those yardages. But… let's see some scores? Let's see what people get. The nice thing is… you only need a Mevo level device.

      He's entertaining. I still don't "like" him, and he has said a lot of stupid shit over the years, recently about the LIV stuff and the OWGR, etc. TikTok is infinitely more evil than Bryson.

      I have a full day of house hotel (not true, I went to Golf Evolution before 7am and just got home: four hours of work and 40 minutes of practice) and I'm primed to watch the U.S. Open.
