Adam Scott plays 2 sets last week, 620cb and Miura KM-700


KM-92 irons - a Mizuno story


The soles have a sharper leading edge, minimal camber, more bounce, and more effective bounce due to a slightly wider sole, therefore creating a “fast in, fast out” turf interaction. This goes back to the original clubs I grew up playing with… which may or may not have been inspired by the MP-14’s and MP-29’s 😜

Lucas Glover Lab Putter


Lucas is as pure as anyone tee to green. That's why he's had four top-6 finishes in his last five events since he switched. The rest of his game is elite. ⁣

⁣⁣

We've been saying, "You're a better putter than you think." That's true for Lucas and so many others. Just at the #WyndhamChampionship, we had four players using our putter in the top-7. ⁣


To Broom or not to Broom, that is the question!

He’s using his legs a lot better. But the biggest thing is we saw some physical improvement, which led to a completely different attitude. He’s energized. He’s in a good place mentally.

* “The most important club for me, probably in my bag, is this A grind. I use the SM9 60 degree A grind, which is a low bounce 60, which I think is very versatile. And I'm able to – on tight lies, rough, wet lies, firm lies, whatever it is – I can hit the shot I want. And with the amount of spin I want, trajectory and everything. So these SM9s are I think the best wedges ever made.”

* Said Vokey Rep Aaron Dill on Clark’s lob wedge: “The 60A was a co-design project with Geoff Ogilvy. That's how it started. It was based off of Australian Sand Belt golf courses – firm and tight. It's essentially an L grind with a ribbon removed, a smooth, fast moving wedge. It's a really low bounce, close sitting wedge, built for firm and fast conditions.”
