We made him a 3 wood at the Nedbank - that's all we can say!

Ooooh does this mean he may be using more Mizuno woods, or even Irons?

Is Gmac gonna jump from Srixon to Mizuno in the movers and shakers???

I very much doubt it Ash, although I wish you were right. He's probably contracted to Srixon for a good while yet.

Looking good UTY.

What's the shrapnel on the desk is that from wedge grinding or something?

I see Charles Howell III is using the JPX wedges \o/ and ANOTHER different driver - I've seen him with 2 different G20s recently - now with one of those white things...

Great pic Pete. The R11 looks like a fairway wood. Who knows whats under the driver headcover?

The R11 is a driver - look at the depth of the face and it says 9deg on the hozzel...

Well that was soooo yesterday - today he was at the range with a dark headed one - didn't see a decent identification shot - but that a Callaway line up mark? Fubuki shaft at least - that guy is such an equipment junkie :)

Re: 2011 Tour Blog

I've seen this in GolfWRX and it sure looks like a G20... and the alignment mark also looks like a Ping!

But he really is a equipment junkie!!!

Yeh it's definitely a G20. Think the Callaway little V is narrower than the Ping one

Danny Vancsik just been in for a couple of new R-12 wedges to go with his MP-59s.
If he could stop the ball using that wedge in the picture then he's a magician...zero groove edges left on that puppy. Looks like my 58 deg wedge that I only use from bunkers nowadays.

These guys hit so many practice shots they will wear out their wedges every 2-3 months.

So do I - but the problem is:

1) I don't seem to get any better ;-) , and
2) I don't have a tour truck I can pop into and get another one whenever I feel like it

Note to self... "Must get a tour card - SOON!"
