Tiger looked more confident with that 100 gram and more flexible shaft in his driver. Time will tell if it keeps up.

Still missing putts that used to be almost automatic for him though.

yeah, he made some real nice swings with the driver yesterday.  is it still a Graphite Designs shaft?

that last putt on 18 looked stabby.

I thought that too.  That's one he never would have missed before. He's really looking comfy and nailing his fairway woods.  Not surprising that he'd want to shaft over to a similar shaf

I didn't see all of Tiger's round but it looked like he hit a bunch of draws. He hit a really nice 3 wood off the tee and a nice wedge into a par 3.

All I really know is this that I read on "The PGA Tour Equipment Page".

~~Aside from the driver switch, the other interesting piece of news is that Woods decided to use a Mitsubishi Diamana Blue Board 103x shaft in the driver instead of his usual Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana WhiteBoard 73X shaft. The Blue Board shaft is the same version he currently uses in his VR_S Covert 3- and 5-wood. Woods stated on his site that the heavier shaft gave him better feel of the club at impact.

And that they mentioned on The Golf Channel that it was heavier but a softer flex.

When I switched my driver shaft to match the model on my fairways this year, suddenly my confidence and feel in my driver went way up (same head model).  (Ha ha ha - just like tiger, except for the skill........and the money.........and the women........nevermind).  IMHO - the shaft on the club is so much more important than the head - worth matching it to a personal swing if one has the resources to do it.

Am I going crazy or was he not using a red and white Graphite Designs shaft all year? Edit... Apparently he was using the GD shaft earlier in the year...

I know I said this yesterday but it seems like Tiger is hitting a lot of baby draws. He must be really confident with his ball striking.

Saw that Rory was +7 or so. He might be a lot more like Phil (streaky) than Tiger (consistent).

I completely agree. Its not even fair to compare anyone to Tiger he's beyond consistent. I think Rory is solid but he isn't Tiger and I doubt he will ever be.

Yeah, you can't compare these guys at their best, you have to compare them when they're off. Tiger's bad day might be a 75, whereas someone else is going to shoot a 79...

Is it just me or did that 62 just seem so easy. It was like watching a video game.  If he can hit his tee shots like he was hitting them today it will be a very good year for Mr. Woods.  I like the idea of making the driver heavier. Anything to make him slow down a little  is a good thing.

I've always liked a heavier driver.

BTW, the stats from that round were good ones. 18 of 18 GIR, almost every fairway hit (I didn't see the whole round - maybe he hit them all?). Relatively few putts even though he two-putted a par five for birdie - few putts because he had near tap-in birdies.

The long game got Tiger that 62. It could have been a 60 with slightly better putting, or at worst roughly a 66 with an average to poor day of putting.

I completely agree Erik he hit every fairway but one which is remarkable for him. I feel like he missed one fairly easy putt and pulled his iron shot on 18. Otherwise it was a clinic. Its fun to see how simple the game can look when you know how hard it really is.

I don't think he pulled his approach on 18, he was playing to the fat part of the green with a baby cut and it didn't cut that much.

Agree to disagree Colin. I think he was going at the middle and cutting it to the flag. Not hitting to the left side and cutting it to the middle.

It was a cut that didn't cut enough ... are all of us saying the same thing?

      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.
