What kind of loft does his driver have and what shaft is in it?

Also what shaft is in his 3 and 5 wood?

Golf is a game in which the ball always lies poorly and the player always lies well.

I am just stabbing at this... but in the past Tiger has played an extra stiff Diamana Whiteboard with an 8.5 degree head... not sure if this is his current setup.

Just curious, but... why do you care?

Still uses the 8.5 degree driver and a 13* 3 wood and 19* 5 wood.

No idea on the shafts on the 3 & 5 wood but he still uses the diamana whiteboard.

I think there is a link on the Nike Golf website that shows his current sticks.

It's cool seeing what the pros game....not that I'll ever need their gear....but it is still fun to read up on it.

It amazes me the number of pros who have adopted hybrids for long irons....very interesting.

What is even more amazing is the number of high handicap amateurs who haven't.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Are there any statistics on this? I've heard it being said on TV that many do not use hybrids, in contradiction to what was expected anyways.

I've got a good excuse....don't know about the rest.

I laid off the game for a few years and came back and everyone was gaming them. I didn't have a clue. I had always prided myself on being decent, at least, with my long irons. Finally tried the hybrids and was hooked really quick....maybe on the first swing.

tigerwoods.com it lists all his current gear but it just says that he has a 8.5 degree Nike Dymo prototype. It does not list the shaft for his driver.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Driver is a Diamana WhiteBoard 83X, FW shafts are both Diamana BlueBoards in 103X IRRC. I know they are BB, just no 100% sure on weight.

Tiger has the swing speed to use these shafts??!!!!

I'm looking to buy the D3 driver, but I can't find a shaft.

They only make the voodoo and the diamada that comes with it in stiff. I'm around the same as tiger swing speed wise, but I can't find the right equipment. I went to golf smith for a fitting, but they have no idea what shaft to put in it.

Golf is a game in which the ball always lies poorly and the player always lies well.

I think it is much easier to work a 3 iron than a hybrid in my opinion. Hitting it low, high, right, or left is just easier to me with a 3 iron than with a hybrid. Although a hybrid is much easier to hit out of the rough, I'll give you that.

I personally like the feel of a solid iron shot over a solid hybrid shot. I agree with the workability too. I like the hybrids and they are easier to hit, but as long as I hit my irons solid that is what I will stick with.

There are

lots of shafts out there - you need to look harder. However, if you've got a 120mph swing then you'll need sonmething xtra-stiff and weighing around 85-100g....and you're going to have to shell out an extra $200-300 for an upgrade.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Chris Brooks · Posted

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
