IN THE BAG

Jeev Milkha Singh

(Scottish Open champion)

Shoes: FootJoy DryJoy

Ball: Titleist ProV1x

Driver: Callaway FT3 (6 degree)

Man, he must really realize some club head speed to get that ball into the air.  And he's 42 yrs old.

From the Irish Times, online.


It's crazy, but not all that rare in the pros. I know Phil was carrying a 6 degree driver for a while and might still be.

Driver: Cleveland Launcher DST

Hybrid: Cleveland Mashie 3H

Irons: Cleveland Launcher

Wedges: Cleveland cg 15 46, 52, 56, 60

Putter: Odyssey tour black

Ball: Titleist NXT Tour


6°!!!!  Why not just use your putter!  All joking aside, if you have the swing to hit a driver like that why wouldn't you?  The extra yardage could help you significantly on link style courses which are often wide open.  As long as you don't slice a shot into heath you'll always have an unobstucted view to the green.


I met a guy last summer who had a 7* driver, we were playing at Windstar Casino in Oklahoma, it was windy as hell and this driver was really useful; I don't think that guy missed a fairway all day come to think of it.


What's his impact position look like? Does he hit the ball on the upswing? The difference between 6* and 9* is very small. Considering that launch angle is the result of a couple factors, he could have a launch angle that's closer to average than expected.

"Golf is an entire game built around making something that is naturally easy - putting a ball into a hole - as difficult as possible." - Scott Adams

    • Day 4 (13 Mar 25) - Easy session today, some work with the 6&7 irons - full swings into the net, followed but bump and runs.  Toss in some pitch work with the Pw with the grandson. 
    • Day 34: 3/13/25 Putting through 50 mm gates. Almost a perfect session.
    • Hands go out and roll too much, which is why the backswing has trouble staying short. The short swing is too long. Then, you know what to do from there. Throw it.
    • Day 2 March 13th, 2025 Hit a small bucket checking stuff on video. Mostly back to controlling swing length and right elbow. 
    • Video 1 of 2025 Lower body is better. Right knee kicks out less. Left knee straightens better. I don’t have that knee bounce post impact. Backswing and downswing with the arms, needs a bit of work. Nice OTT move there. Video 2 of 2025 - hey I can keep it short.  back to trying to keep the swing shorter and control the right elbow. Lots of half backswing feel and very straight arms. Also trying to start the downswing sooner so the swing doesn’t go on forever with the turn. Got to limit it to 90 degrees shoulder and 45 degrees hips.
