I am very surprised to see DJ with a 10.5* driver.

 

[Staples]

I didn't know DJ was back with the xFT's. I remember him using 588's for pebble. Are any TM guys using the atv's? Thanks for posting the info Josh.

There is a video on here with them building his driver that GG and I filmed at a tournament. He plays it right around 10* and can sometimes go up to 11*

Quite a few actually. Justin Rose is their new guy in them.

I think it's really interesting to see that DJ plays FW woods only 1.5* of difference. Wonder what kind of yardage distances he sees between the two.

DJ in a 10.5... Thats awesome. I missed the video, unfortunately, I will have to dig it up.

JB - are the shafts that these guys play (Westwood with the NV 75, for example) typically the same as what the general public can purchase?

It depends on the manufacturer, but in many cases...yes. I know the Miyazaki shafts that we see out there are exactly the same for example.

Yea, Miyazaki came to mind. I don't know why, but I always am a little surprised seeing shafts like the NV75 and the Pro Force on Tour. I know I shouldn't be since it all comes down to fitting, but I still am.

Love Westy still using a G10....screw new technology! hehe

Yet he puts the Nome in to play and all of a sudden gets a W!

Cool, thanks for the info. I'll look out for them this weekend on the broadcast.

glad I'm not the only one that thought that it was weird DJ was using a 4 and 5 wood.

 

[Damaikis]

Two guys named Lee won. That's cool. And DJ with the 4 wood. Very cool.
