Wonder when he changed shafts? Literally every shaft in the bag is different than his linked “WITB” pictures from last September. Wonder if that’s fairly

How does the 7 wood get down to 18 degrees? Tour Spec adapter? Specs on Ping’s website says +-1.5.

Seven wood was ridiculed by Nick Faldo during the tournament. Some sort of “real man” comment. When is he going to be punted?

I think you’re mistaken. He was impressed Thompson had one and said, “Real men have 7 woods.”

They’ve made a bid deal about this being a “38 year old Anser 4” but clearly it’s had some work done, longer flow neck, etc. Still pretty cool.

The biggest advantage is a slightly open face angle when you crank down the loft. Also, a 7 fairway has a smaller profile that may be preferred. I no longer play a traditional 3 fairway, but a Ping G400 5 adjusted to the big (-) for the these reasons.

Why is the 7 wood turned down to 18* instead of just carrying a 5 wood?

Allows the club face to sit open a couple degrees open which he must prefer with that club.
