you are correct, he does have a ping grip, but this week at torre he is using a Nike Method putter. A number of camera shots have shown the blade with the Nike check mark and also his hand on the top of the grip as he kneels down, showing the Ping emblem. Last week Rory used a Nike putter but then switched back to his Scotty before missing the cut. Betcha he is looking for his Titleist clubs too after that cut miss!!

Tiger has been using the Method for a few years now. Since the 2010 British, I believe. Intermittently at first.

I recently bought my first Cameron. A used Studio Style 2. Its 35" so it has the 330g head. It also has a smooth rubber pingman grip. Not a blackout but the same thing. In fact I think ping made the "blackout" version because of tiger coloring his in. He's making money for a company that he's not even playing for haha this ping putter grip thing is a big fad almost

I just bought a pp58 corded pingman grip after trying it out on a milled anser.  but now im unsure if I wanna change the pingman on it now though. Soft but doesnt make the grip feel lifeless.

Its a great grip.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
