WGC-FedEx St. Jude Tour Truck Report: Phil Mickelson goes armlock, Justin Rose takes the wayback machine

I guess it’s some flavor of irony that it was a slow week at a tournament whose title sponsor is known for rapid delivery around the world.

Maybe it technically isn’t — my ninth-grade English teacher, Ms. Whalen, wouldn’t be pleased with my lack of clarity.

Regardless, there were a few abundantly apparent equipment changes at TPC Southwind.

For equipment free agent Justin Rose, who has been on the Ferris wheel of irons in recent years, it seems the ride has stopped on his 2017 TaylorMade Rose Proto irons. Maybe it was Rory McIlroy and his Rors Proto return that inspired Rosie?

Phil Mickelson’s surprise armlocking was the other significant story at Southwind. Lefty was spotted with a prototype PM Blade with a longer shaft and what looked to be a SuperStroke WristLock grip. More news to come on this front.

TaylorMade MySpider Tour and Tour X: More customizable build options now available

TaylorMade Golf’s MySpider program underwent a substantial overhaul over the last month. Firstly, the company launched the option to customize the Spider ZT model, and now the program has returned with the MySpider Tour and MySpider Tour X.

The revamped page now gives golfers complete control over every visual and functional detail of their putter on the popular Tour and Tour X head, with every cosmetic idea thought of. In MySpider Tour, golfers can choose from four head finishes, 16 paint fill colors, nine Surlyn face insert colors, three aluminum insert options, six sightline configurations, and four hosel options — L-neck, small slant, double bend, center shaft. Six sightline options are available in MySpider Tour, including the optically engineered True Path alignment system. MySpider Tour X gives builders the option of four head finishes, four hosel configurations, and five sightline options, also including True Path alignment.

One of the more interesting features of the new MySpider program is the availability of three distinct face insert options. Along with the usual Surlyn Pure Roll insert trusted by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, which can be customized from nine colors, golfers can now also select firmer options. Two are offered with the black aluminum Pure Roll insert, slightly firmer than the traditional insert, or for the firmest feel, golfers can choose from two colors of milled aluminum inserts.

Another fun addition to the MySpider Tour is the ability to use the “Tommy Sightline.” The custom alignment aid design, which was first drawn onto Tommy Fleetwood’s putter by PGA Tour Rep James Holley, is based on the milled sightline on his Spider ZT head. There are five shorter lines on the left and right of a longer central line serving as the traditional short line alignment aid.
