Interesting witb. Saw this over on the big hitters forum.

That was super interesting!

ode Right but I’m thinking he means mid ballflight because he said the same about the Rifles

Typhoon yep, more spin, easier to control for him, yet still about as heavy as the std X100!

ode

Typhoon are you still doing your TMag thing? If so, I'd love some feedback on the Mid if you get the chance!

First, Rocco is looking skinny! Second, interesting that he said he paid for the Ping irons?And finally, he says the stiffer the shaft the easier to draw?

ode

garyt1957 probably a "feel" thing!

Why would Rocco have to pay for his PING irons?? I heard that too. "I buy them". ???? Neat video!

He sure is!
I saw him one time in the parking lot at La Costa some 25 years ago,
and he looked easily 40lbs. heavier.
I liked what he said about the bounce on his wedges, make them all the same....makes sense.
He got a little happy with the skull stickers on his woods though!☠☠☠

Yup but I don’t have the demo matrix. Haven’t really started up for this year. Just have some stores to do during the winter amd we just just the fitting cart. The fitting cart doesn’t have all the shafts we have usually. I’ll check when I get my stuff but I don’t remember seeing anything other than a standard x100

sdandrea1 Yeah that surprised me. I am pretty sure if he asked the Ping tour rep, he'd get whatever he wants for free. Maybe he has a fitter or shop that he likes.

As a low spin player, I like what Rocco says. If you have spin, you can use it or reduce it. If you don't have it, you can't manufacture it. Not talking about driver.

I'm a huge Rocco fan. Always liked the guy. Broke my heart in the 2008 US Open. He went toe-to-toe with TW with his homemade swing. He's casual and fun. I spoke to him at an event in Bethesda or Potomac (can't recall). He was on the tee waiting for some kind of delay and I was just on the ropes. I asked him how his back was (he was having widely publicized issues then). He chatted it up with me for 3 or 4 minutes like we'd known each other for years.

scotts33 I play a bunch with several former pros. They all hit their wedges a little higher than line drives that hit and stop.
