    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

    Club Reported Shaft WITB Picture
    Driver Fujikura Ventus Black 6X Atmos Tour 6X
    3W Ventus Black 7X Aldila NV 2KXV Green 75 TX
    5W Fujikura Ventus Black 8X Atmos Tour 8X
    Irons KBS $ Taper 130X TT AMT X100 TI/TT DG X100 TI
    Wedges KBS $ Taper 130X TT DG X100 TI

    Obviously it’s working for him! Roll Tide!

    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.
