What is up with Rocco Mediate & those Dicks commercials?  They are pretty funny.  I wonder if Dicks is paying him as much as a club manufacture would?

An apostrophe would do wonders in clarifying the title's context.

Anyways, it's an interesting arrangement. Knowing the selection of clubs that is usually available at Dick's stores, I question what would happen if Rocco wanted to add a club in his bag that his sponsor doesn't stock.

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...

Rocco said that he wants the flexibility to play different clubs so that is why he does not have a club deal this year. He does have a ball deal with Titleist.

whats up with chris anderson in the dick's commercial...could u look like any more of a freakshow than that?

i am interested in what is behind that deal with rocco tho...kind of interesting,  maybe he didnt have too many sponsors knocking on his door and dick's just went with him cuz he is an interesting guy with no other sponsors...they could then use him to show off the selection they have.

Those commercials were filmed at my local Dick's in Puyallup, WA. One of my golf buddies was trying to buy something in there that day and got to see Rocco and eyeball his R11. He said that he was the only customer in the store who had any idea who he was.

The thing is sponsor dollars speak.  Rocco has mass appeal to the average weekend guy and he can play any equipment he likes.  Looks like a smart move on Rocco's part and I am sure that a lot of pros would like that flexibility.  I could make it work.

Anyway, yes this is a smart move. He can promote several brands at once.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
