Tiger equipment change for Memorial.

I think Erik has a good point here... he maybe playing the original prototype for the VRs?

Look here, specifically the irons and the date (woods memorial winning clubs)

I dunno, they dont look like anything VR to me? the ones he played were identical EXCEPT, there was "T" where the swoosh is, and a swoosh on the muscle back as I mentioned previously.

we all know they are not off the shelf right? Not sure hes played too many clubs ever off the shelf, they are prototypes for sure... but they looking nothing like VR thingies, much more like the old blades, thats all I was saying...LOL

I did everything but reach out and take one out of the bag. from all the goofy posts, believe me, I wish I had taken a picture Wednesday to put all the non-sense to rest. He used the VR wedges still and wore VR on his hat too.

The true question is...will he go back to VR's for the US Open? or play the classic Nike blades again...

keep in mind he was ranked #3 in GIR for the tourney..I'm betting he's sticking with the classic blades that look more like the originals while the Nike folks are scrambling to get a VR on those clubs..they should cause it appears the public wants him to be playing VR so badly.. LOL

Even before he discarded the VR's before switching back...just my opinion, but the VR's are ugly...they may be why Im telling you..pure aesthetics...

Tiger would crack up if he could see these posts...

That's pointless. They're linking to a store that has to sell you something. The link doesn't take you to the exact clubs Tiger played. His had more of a curve to them like the VR, not the straight line like those available in that store link.

I just read this thread, this is hilarious.

On a side note, is he playing the driver with the adjustable shaft, like in the commercial. I would think he would laugh that right out of his bag.

Can you say Katsuhiro Miura?

I had never heard of these before this thread. Did Tiger actually used to play them? Does anyone on tour still play them?

[bflat450]

He definitely used to play them... it is unsure if he still does, but I'm pretty sure that his so called "proto type" irons that he's switching back to are his Miuras.

I doubt that. When he won the amateur titles, was he hitting the titleists? So when was he playing these? Given the changes in his swing and his body shape/size there is no way the clubs he used 10+ years ago could still be correct for him.

I've heard Miura Irons for over a year here....What is this guy, an ancient Samuri Sword maker or something???

Throw me a friggin bone....

Haha yeah... a kid I know has them and they are gold.

Anything to back up your claims about Tiger playing them? I didn't think so. Just like I said before, no different than 9/11 conspiracy theories.

did you guys know that tiger doesnt really drive a buick? its actually a land rover with a different cover and new badgeing...

[youngskip40]

I've seen a lot of posts saying Tiger played Titleist irons when he was an amateur. Wasn't he playing Mizuno MP-14's as an amateur?

He switched to the Titleist blades when he turned pro, since he signed with both Nike and Titleist but Nike was in it's baby stages of golf and did not have a line of clubs/balls yet. He didn't start playing Nike irons until things went sour with Titleist, I believe.

For the record:

• Mizuno MP-14 & MP-29 (1996-1998)
• Titleist 681 'T' (1998-2002)
• Nike Forged (2002-2008)
• Nike VR / Nike Forged (2009)
• Miura (no proof at all that he's ever used them, in any guise)
