Great info. Do you happen to know by what products each brand consisted of in a specific category? For example Driver: Taylormade 29 (19 r7 425 TP, 10 r7 Superquad) Tks.

No I don't. I can tell you what they didn't use very much...the square headed drivers.

Mickelson carried two drivers, the FT-5 and the FT-i. Gary Player had a square FT-i and K.J. Choi swung a Nike SasQuatch Sumo2. That was IT for geometric shapes. Of 56 Titleist balls in play, 25 were the new Pro V1x, 22 were the new Pro V1, and nine were the old Pro V1x. 5 golfers were using 64 degree wedges: Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington, Colin Montgomerie, J.J. Henry, and Brett Quigley. Btw, Harrington had the sole of that wedge ground twice to change the bounce angles, width, and abililty to manipulate the club head in any position. So, for you guys that always want to know what the "best wedge" is...take it from the pros. It's the one that has the correct GRIND and BOUNCE for YOU and YOUR swing in ANY POSITION and from ANY ground/grass/sand condition that you typically play on. Steve Williams even had Tiger's putter bent because the head was slightly out of alignment with the rest of the club. Through repeated play, practice and travel, the face position of the Scotty Cameron putter had become altered. It was a tiny bit open and would have been easy to miss putts to the right.

Wow, I guess there's something to the great things I've been hearing about the Adams hybrids... few (or no?) endorsements and quite a good showing.

Tom Watson, Bernhard Langer, Scott Hoch, Dana Quigley, Bubba Dickerson, Des Smyth, Tom Jenkins, Steve Wheatcroft, R.W Eaks, Morris Hatalsky, Michael Boyd, Allen Doyle, Jerry Pate, D.A. Weibring & Brittany Lincicome are all on the Adams "tour staff". To the best of my recollection of these Adams staffers only Watson & Langer played in the '07 Masters.

Wow... that's some pretty cool info. Thanks. I'm surprised Never Compromise didn't slip into the end of that putter list. Maybe they just have Vijay these days

I'm surprised Never Compromise didn't slip into the end of that putter list. Maybe they just have Vijay these days

Surprisingly, Never Compromise has quite a few, including Vijay, Jerry Kelly, Jonathan Kaye, Skip Kendall & Steve Flesch. If you are interested is seeing who else, go here:

I don't remember if Kristie Kerr was in the Masters this year, was she? Skip Kendall "skipped" it also since he's really focusing hard this year on the Nationwide. Jerry Kelly is using a BLADE putter, but I don't know who makes it. As for the others, I don't think many pros have loyalty to a putter. It's whatever works best on any given day and putter reps are sticking a new or different one in their hands every time they get on a practice green.

I agree, that's a pretty impressive showing by Adams in the hybrid department. But then again, they're known for their fairway woods/hybrids. I'm a tad bit surprised I didn't see cobra in the hybrids anywhere, I hear tons of great reviews for the baffler yet seemingly not many play/played it.

Jerry Kelly is using what looks like a Yes Sophia putter to me

I watched yesterday and saw the half-moon marking in the center of the face which is a YES trademark. I'm sure you're correct. (I wonder how they came up with the name Sophia for a putter)

[Cleveland Gunmetal]

Yeah, Jerry Kelly was using a NC putter. I think it was the Milled Series (at least that's the one he used last year). But I noticed he was using a different putter at the Masters and again at the Heritage. I can't imagine with the success he's had lately that he's going to change back but you never know with PGA pro's.
