Which Pro's play Innovex?

Interested in knowing if there are any Tour Pro's playing Innovex irons or drivers?

Thank you in advance.

Innovex don't endorse or sponsor any pros, because that costs money and they are all about making pro quality clubs at half the price. Pros play what they're paid to play for the most part. I don't know if there are any pros using Innovex clubs voluntarily. If there is, there's probably some laws about using someones name to promote your products without authorisation, which is probably why they can't tell us. Like if they said (purley hypothetically) 'Phil Mickelson is using the Innovex such and such', then Callaway could probably sue, as they own the rights to his name or something.

Sooty pretty much nailed it on the head. I can tell you that usage of our clubs on various tours amounts to less than 20 clubs - mostly fairways and hybrids. Our driver is pretty new, only a pro or two in the world has ever hit the CfD.

However, we cannot say who is playing, but I can tell you that most of the clubs are in the hands of ladies and seniors.

We don't go after tour players, and will not pay them to play our product - plain and simple. That would cause us to increase the prices dramatically. Not in your best interest, and therefore not in ours either.
