Masters: Is this Mickelson’s secret weapon?

 

Phil Mickelson revealed two weeks ago he was planning on using a ‘special’ club in preparation for the Masters.golf club

While there has been no official confirmation yet from Leftie on his new secret weapon, according to Golfweek the USGA’s conforming driver list has indicated what the three-time Masters champion may have up his sleeve ahead of his first round on Thursday.golf sale

Listed in the USGA’s database is an X-Hot fairway wood called Phrankenwood. There is no word yet if Mickelson will put it in play at the Masters, but there’s a good chance he’ll be testing it this week. golf store

On first inspection, the Phrankenwood appears to be an even larger version of Callaway’s new X Hot Pro 3Deep with probably even less loft to make the driver/fairway wood longer than the 3Deep but more workable than a standard driver.

Els phasing out the belly putter

 


Els can’t stomach belly anymore

Ernie Els claims he will use the controversial belly putter for the last time in his career at next week’s Masters.golf club

The South African has always been one of the most outspoken opponents of the long putter – once labelling it as ‘cheating’ – but as his own performance on the greens deteriorated, he was forced to experiment with one two years ago.golf sale

Els, who wielded his anchored putter to claim a fourth major title at the Open Championship last July, golf store,has now called time on the stroke that the R&A and USGA are attempting to outlaw players using from 2016 as he goes in search of a maiden Green Jacket.

The 43-year-old used a shorter putter for his first three rounds at the Chiangmai Golf Classic in Thailand last week before taking 29 putts with his belly putter on Sunday in a closing 2-under 70 to finish tied 14th in the Asian Tour event.golf driver

“I just wanted to play [with the belly putter] since it was my last competitive round before The Masters,” said The Big Easy, who will switch to the shorter stick in time for the US Open in June.

“Mentally, I was going to do the long putter at the Masters. I wanted to feel what it is like [again] under a bit of pressure.”

Wilson unveils SuperLight family

 

Wilson Golf has introduced its SuperLight family of clubs for 2013 that feature the game’s latest lightweight technology and, the brand claims, allow amateur players to gain more distance with the same swing effort.

The new Wilson Staff D-100 drivers, irons, fairways and hybrids follow on from the brand’s award-winning Di7 and Di11 irons and incorporate advances in virtually every performance area to help average golfers improve their game.

The changes generate a faster clubhead speed that could add up to 15 yards to a drive and between five to ten yards on iron shots.golf sale

SuperLight was inspired by the fact the world’s best players have moved to lighter and lighter clubs and shafts in recent times, while increasing the distances they hit the ball.

To benefit the vast majority of golfers, golf club,Wilson has incorporated its very own Right Light technology which balances the correct weight distribution across the clubhead, shaft and grip to deliver greater distance efficiently.

“You can make clubs that are too lightweight,” says Wilson Golf’s global director of R&D Michael Vrska.

“But extensive research has shown that the Right Light technology can help the game improvement player expend the same amount of effort and get faster clubhead speeds to generate seriously long distance and everybody wants more distance.”

The launch of the D-100 family marks the first time in several years that a new set of Wilson Staff irons has been matched with a driver and fairway woods from the outset and coincides with a resurgence in market share.golf store

“Once again, Wilson is at the forefront of bringing the latest in Tour technology to the wider golfing market with the SuperLight D-100 range of clubs,” adds Wilson Golf’s commercial director Doug Wright.

“Everything about the new range is focused on giving both the trade and the consumer the best possible equipment at the best possible terms.”

Anchored putting: European Tour statement

 


In support: O’Grady and the European Tour

As expected, the European Tour has confirmed its support for the R&A and the USGA and their proposal for rule 14-1b – the prohibition of anchoring any club when making a stroke under the Rules of Golf.

George O’Grady CBE, Chief Executive of the European Tour, said: “The European Tour has been fully involved in the consultation process which ended on February 28, and deeply value this involvement. Our Members support the unique role played by the governing bodies in formulating the Rules of Golf.golf sale

“Additionally, virtually all of our Tournament Committee and player representatives support the proposed rule even though they are aware, and have taken into account, the fact that some members and especially our senior members use the anchored method.

“We understand the points put forward by the PGA Tour and the PGA of America and respect and sympathise with their views, which are based on their experience and the evidence before them, and have been expressed with great concern for the game.golf club

“The whole issue has received far greater focus and comment in the United States than in the rest of the world, perhaps because of the numbers of their golfers using the anchored method, and the set up in general terms of their golf courses and the firmness and speed of their greens.”
