If I'm not mistaken, his deal with Dunlop is for playing about 10 clubs in his bag. In the past, those have been his irons and putter and sometimes fairway woods. He's played with a Taylor Made Driver a lot and I believe he has been using Cleveland Wedges too.

He's been playing TM drivers for a while now. He switches them between a 510TP, 540XD TP and the 580XD TP. Last I heard he had the 540 in the bag. Haven't heard that he's gone to the R7 yet but he might when the R7425 makes it into his hands

Isn't Maxfli-Dunlop part of TaylorMade now? I wouldn't think they would mind him playing clubs that come out of the same factory.

I was on dunlops site a while back and there was a link you could click on and it took you to all the clubs John Daly uses and they were all dunlop. I've never seen him with anything but a dunlop club. As far as I know Maxfli is part of Taylormade but dunlop is seperate.

Funny you say that. We just had a discussion a few days ago about the fact that none of us ever seem to remember daly ever hitting a fw wd.

Ok that might be his driver head but what's his blue shaft? Is it Diamana or Grafalloy Prototype?

I think Dunlop is part of Srixon. I know that Srixon clubs are good and poplular in Japan but I thought Dunlop was kind of a value equipment here in the US .eg Dunlop Loco stuff

You don't see him playing Dunlop because he gets much better equipment for free from Taylormade or anyone else on tour.

In "Playing Lesson's from the Pro's" on the Golf Channell it looked like he had a Taylormade R7 in his bag.

Also for those who care he is going to be on The Late Night with Conan O'Brien on Wednesday night.
