StrokerAce Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Let the gear change season begin!! https://www.pgatour.com/equipmentreport/2020/01/02/golf-clubs-equipment-dustin-johnson-taylormade-sim-woods-rescue-sentry-tournament-of-champions.html?cid=sf115248431 KAPALUA, Hawaii – Dustin Johnson with a rescue club. Yep, you read that right. And he won’t be alone. Johnson has been spotted at the Plantation Course at Kapalua testing the new TaylorMade SIM range of woods and expects to play the driver, 3-wood and rescue club at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. It is of course not uncommon for the first event of the new year to provide new equipment on TOUR and Johnson is likely to be joined by Jon Rahm, Matthew Wolfe and Collin Morikawa with the new gear. Johnson has been spotted with the “SIM Max” version while the others have the “SIM”. “I'm playing the Max. I've got the Max driver and 3-wood, and I'm actually going to play a rescue club which I never thought that would happen,” Johnson confirmed on tournament eve. “I've been hitting it the last few days. I hit it quite nicely. I don't know, we'll give it a run for a little while, see how it works.” Johnson says he last played a rescue club back and forth in his early years on the PGA TOUR depending on the course but the 20-time winner might make it a more permanent switch now. “I took out the 3-iron (this week). We'll see. I don't know, I'm going to go hit some on TrackMan and see how far it's going,” he added. The new drivers landed on the USGA’s list of conforming driver heads on Monday morning and showed the unreleased product has a redesigned sole with a raised section in the back. There are three models with the “SIM” appearing to have a weight that slides in a track toward the front of the sole. The “SIM Max” does not have the weight track, nor does the “SIM Max D”. It appears the clubs will still contain the “Speed Injection” and “Twist Face” type technology introduced previously to create more speed and also assist straighter shots. More details are expected over the coming days with other TaylorMade staffers, including FedExCup champion Rory McIlroy, also likely to bring the clubs into play.

MaxEntropy Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I saw on Twitter last night that he chose the 22* because the 19* went too far. The 22* was good for 255-260 for him.... edingc and JohnSmalls 2 Quote Driver: Epic Speed 9* (set -1) MMT 70X 3W: Tour B JGR Recoil 760ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-AW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 SW: RTX Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: TAIII Black 58* Putter: Scottsdale TR Senita Bag: BigMax Dri Active Lite Ball: TP5x or AVX (yellow) Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Testing Complete, Final Review Posted: Sub70 TAIII Forged Wedges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trentyoung33 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 DJ couldn't hit a fairway to save his life yesterday... obviously not the driver's fault, but he is definitely going to be doing some tweaking.

Knowing dj he will be swapping heads throughout the year and more than likely between two shafts like usual. Let’s not forget he had knee surgery a few months ago, missed the hero world challenge, played in the presidents cup right after that but wasn’t at 100% and probably took a few weeks off before going to hawaii JohnSmalls 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
