Working with Ryuji Imada

Posted: March 28, 2007

I worked with Ryuji Imada a lot this week, as he is trying to pull the trigger on making one of the new 907 drivers his gamer. I am still not sure what he is going to play in Houston, but I think it is just a matter of time before he makes the switch because he was hitting the 907D4 prototype solid on the range. He has stuck with the 905S all year with pretty good success, already posting three Top 20 finishes. He is happy with his distance, but his accuracy isn't where he wants it to be. Ryuji is a good young player starting his third year on the PGA TOUR and an interesting story. He moved to Florida from Japan when he was 14 to work on his game. After a great junior career he went to the University of Georgia where he helped win a national championship. He finished runner-up to Luke Donald in the individual competition the same year. He turned professional after his sophomore year and had great success on the Nationwide Tour, earning his PGA Tour card for 2005. This kid has had success at every level and I wouldn't be surprised to see him win out here someday soon. -- Steven Felix Mata P.S. -- Be sure to click the link on Ryuji's name above to see what else he's had in his bag this year.

Looks like Ryuji might have been testing some new Scotty Cameron putters this week, too.

Shell Houston Open update

Posted: March 28, 2007

It has been a pretty busy week here at the Shell Houston Open where we have 31 full-line staff players in the field. These are guys we call "Titleist ambassadors" and carry anywhere from 10-14 Titleist clubs in their bags, including the driver, wear Titleist on their cap, carry the Titleist bag, wear either a Titleist or FootJoy glove and FootJoy shoes. World No. 5 Adam Scott is the highest-ranked player in the field this week and has been a Titleist ambassador since he turned professional in 2000. Charley Hoffman is another Titleist ambassador who won his first PGA Tour victory earlier this year in a playoff at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Check out the photo below where Charley was fooling around on the range today hitting left-handed drivers. After today its home for a couple of days and then off to Augusta where we'll be reporting each day from the Masters. Keep the questions and comments coming. -- Steven Felix Mata

Adam Scott's New Pro V1

Posted: March 22, 2007

Adam is playing the New Pro V1 golf ball, and if you've seen the new Titleist commercial, he says he likes to play #9's. Attached are a couple of pics from yesterday's practice round featuring Adam and his custom numbered golf ball that he uses to distinguish his from other PGA Tour players. With the introduction of the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x in February, Titleist began shipping more dozens with high numbers (5-8) to golf shops. -- Joe Gomes

Back-ups for Ben Curtis

Posted: March 21, 2007

Steve Mata and Bob Vokey went through the bag with 2003 British Open champion Ben Curtis on the range today. Ben has been playing the new 907D2 driver all year and was looking for a backup. His driver has 8.5° of loft with an Aldila VS Proto 70-S shaft. Ben, who also won the Booz Allen Classic and 84 Lumber Classic last year, isn't one to change his equipment very often. However, he did ask Mata to make a backup set of the Titleist Forged irons he has been playing for the last two years. Voke is also making backups to Ben's SM54 and SM60 prototype wedges. Bob has made a special grind with more heel-toe trailing edge relief which will play with the effective bounce reduced. Bob says that Ben is a very creative wedge player and this grind helps him hit a variety of shots. As usual, Ben will be wearing the colors and logo of the local NFL team this week - the Miami Dolphins. Ben said he still gets fans rooting for him because of his NFL outfits, especially during football season. -- Joe Gomes
