Omega European Masters

September 3rd, 2010

With the Titleist Tour Support Vehicle not being able to make the journey from Gleneagles to Crans-sur-Sierre, this week proved to be fairly quiet on the equipment front. However, there were a handful of adjustments worthy of mention, as well as some amazing photos from what is widely regarded as the most stunning venue on the European Tour.

New Titleist staffer Matteo Manassero took delivery of a new 909H 21-degree to match the 17-degree he already has in play.

Model: 909H Loft: 21 ° Shaft: Project X HC1 Flex: Rifle 6.5 Length: 40” Grip: TV58R (+1/32”) Swingweight: D3 Tipping: N/A Setting: N/A

Mikko Ilonen had his Deep Milled Newport T10 Black cut down to 34.5″ from 35″ so that he could try something new and look at holing some more putts this week on the tricky greens.

George Coetzee was looking for a new fairway to try in the next couple of weeks because he feels that he is hitting his current 909F2 with a ZCOM BT 30 too far compared to the rest of the metals in his bag. He also felt that the shaft was a little to stiff. We are going to build him a new 909F2 13.5 and 15.5 with the Speeder 757 X Stiff and make the 13.5 1/2″ shorter than the 15.5, which he can try next week at the KLM Open.

Soren Hansen is still working with his 910 driver but feels he getting closer, so with a few tweaks it should go in the bag soon.

Brett Rumford was in a buoyant mode after his strong finish last week at Gleneagles. He feels his game is in great shape and with a good record at Crans could be looking for another strong finish this week.

Chris Wood was fresh out after a visit to the Cameron Studio and was using the Studio Select Fast Back with the 1.5 neck. There is also the exact same putter being made but in the Tour Black Mist finish, which Chris loves the look of.

Also over the next few weeks to get ready of the tour launch of the new fairway and hybrids at St Andrews, we are checking what our staff players have in the bag so that we can provide them with the correct products in Scotland. Depending on the weather that week we hope to look after all that are in the field and work with them in the following weeks when the ET returns to warmer climates in Portugal and Spain.
