The young Japanese is flirting with the cut line right now, but even if he doesn't stick around for the weekend, he has already cemented his place on my list of awesome golfers. Why? Simple: his driver head cover is a cartoon version of himself. Heck, the head cover has its own sunglasses that can be adjusted over his eyes or atop its visor. That's wicked.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Haha, I noticed it earlier, but I didn't know you could adjust the glasses! AWESOME!

Keep in mind, he's still just a kid. He is only 16 years old. Once he gets a little more control in his game, he will be fine.

That is gay. I am going to say he is another kid that will get caught up in the marketing and wont turn into much. Good luck but I dont see it happening.

I think Ishi's success will depend on if and when he decides to leave the comforts of the Japan Tour and play a full schedule either in the U.S. or Europe. Japanese golfers can enjoy a long and successful career within their home country, and I think that has come with the consequence of Japanese players often not adjusting well to golf in the world.

I think he needs to visit a launch monitor and get fitted for a driver. The kid hits it sky high off the tee, it's almost funny.

Brutally long pre shot routine also.

Headcover has gone to his head, hasn't come close to doing anything and is already putting himself over....Plus the driver fits into the headcover in an inappropriate place...kinda creepy.

That's the thing. If Shingo would commit to an American/European schedule, he would be threatening to win those tournaments.

Ok, I think you are reading too much into this head cover....I mean the kid is 17, having fun, and playing well....I agree....let him mature a bit, and he will be some one to reckon with.

As for the head cover....where does the driver enter the cover??? It seems a little uncomfortable...a little pockey!

It's the indian, not the arrow! But it sure is nice to have good arrows!!!!!

unforunately for him, that headcover is ripe for satire especially if he's getting his ass handed to him in match play or by the course

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DaHolla ·

      Day 313 - I played 18 today. First and last holes were ugly, but I actually played pretty well. Driver was great, irons were alright, and the short game was better than average.

      Day 205 (23 Nov 24) - Worked with the alignment rod and 7i  in reference to ball position in relation to lead foot on full iron shots, noticed an increase in thinned shots last couple of rounds - better contact with the balls (hard foam) during the drill/swing rehearsals.

      Which Irons?

      By iacas ·

      Have you gone to a fitting? A good fitting will not only give you a clubhead but a shaft, etc. that will suit you.

      Irons Too Nice to Use

      It's not like the Nike Vapor Pro are exactly a highly sought set of irons.

      Irons Too Nice to Use

      By Typhoon92 ·

      Last night I was putting my Nike Vapor Pro Irons back in my bag.  I had my sons i500’s in there the last couple months after we all went to Top Golf .  I picked up the Nike’s this past spring and they are like new.  I feel guilty using them… I have other irons that aren’t valuable that I could use instead.
