This was from a press release Oly has put out recently with regard to the OLYSS and the TPOC, which is reviewed under the Bryson model shaft thread.
"Right now Jason Duffner and Roberto Diaz are playing the OLYSS 65 Tour X. For some stat info, last year, before putting the OLYSS in play, Duffner was 74th in driving accuracy, with the OLYSS he has moved up to 37th. Diaz was 77th in driving accuracy before putting the OLYSS in play and is now 28th, at the same time he has increased his average driving distance marginally.
We don’t have anyone on tour currently using the TPOC. Pat Perez played it at The Wells Fargo, and finished T8, but there was a problem with the head and he switched back out of it when they moved him into a new head.
We do expect to get more players into both models once it is approved by the Titleist tour department. Titleist requires qualification testing prior to allowing anyone to use a specific shaft in one of their heads on tour. We are currently in the testing queue and expect to be qualified by the end of the month.
Both of the shafts are made for a mid/low flight with low spin. As is explained in the attached write ups, the biggest difference is the tooling that the shafts are built on. The OLYSS is a straight taper product. This type of construction tends to give a smoother feel and more gradual load and release. The TPOC is a product with a large and long parallel butt section, that provides a crisper feel at impact and less perceptible motion during load and release. I would expect the TPOC to be slightly lower launch than the OLYSS (for most players)."
Interesting that there was a problem with Pat Perez's head...hmmm!?
