Yeah, really. With all the companies with materials engineering doing golf stuff, if you have a sponsorship with one of them, do you get the other products? Like Sean Fister with Dunlop, or these guys with Bridgestone?

I think they'd be more than happy to give them for free. Can you imagine CH's riding his car with 22" rims and Bridgestone tires on it?

Did Tiger not start with Mizuno? I thought he then had his Titleist made to same specs. as the Mizuno,then his Nikes specs.made to same as Titleist.Seems to me that Mizuno should have worked harder in giving him what he wanted in the first place. Am I wrong?

He won his first Masters playing a Mizuno MP14/29 combo set...

Cleveland Launcher Comp, 9.5* stiff
TaylorMade V-Steel, T/S stiff
Cleveland Halo, 19* stiff
Mizuno MP-32, stiff
Cleveland 588 Gunmetal, 51*Cleveland 588 DSG RTG, 56*Scotty Cameron Newport II

Was Nike not in the club business at this point? Or did Tiger change sponsors at some point? Wasn't he in Nike commercials back then?

I'm not doubting you, I just don't know why he doesn't have the Nike clubs then.

tiger right now plays a set based off of his old mizuno mp-14s, so i dont what he is looking for now.

Ok, on another thread there was an interesting conversation about how Tiger plays Nike, but in NAME only i.e. he is playing another iron, but with a big NIKE symbol.

Is this correct, or is it that the Nike product gets tweaked so much that it might as well be a Titleist, or Mizuno, or whatever. . . Regarding the new Sumo, Tiger says it won't sound so freaky in this ESPN video http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/golf/index

He had a Titleist cap on, he signed with them the day he turned pro, but to answer your question, no, Nike was not in the club business back then. He won the '97 Masters with the same clubs he won the '96 U.S. Amateur with - a Mizuno 14/29 combo set. He switched to Titleist irons at some point after that, but that's what he won his first Master's with...

      I’m sad that no player got arrested this morning. It should be a feature now for every tournament.

      Low Spinners (Viktor Hovland, AoA)

      By saevel25 ·

      Played around with this a bit. Not getting the spin up. This was even on a green that is pretty severely sloped towards me, clean lie, and a soft green. Maybe higher spin is just not my thing.

      Why are they showing almost every shot by Theegala? Burmester also gets a lot of TV time. Then suddenly someone at +2 or -1 missing a putt. At least throw in a shot now and then from the others in the top 20.

      Greenside Chipping/Pitching vs Long Putts

      By snapfade ·

      I'll poke a dead horse here. I like chipping, always have. However, if its a relatively clean roll I'll putt. I choke down just a bit, in my head I'm taking a little flex out of the shaft seems to stay on line better because I usually need to give it some horsepower to get it rolling good. I had about a 20 yard or so chip in to save par the other night in league night. That was the end of my 4 hole even par stretch. All down hill after that.
