Lefty stated this week (Masters) that his "2nd" driver is the square one (for pure distance).
Below are what the respective websites say are "in the bag":
Nike Sumo: Ames, Azinger, Glover, Leonard, Sabbatini, Wie
Nike Sumo2: Choi, Cink
Callaway FT-i: Brandt Jobe, Brendan Jones, Hank Kuehne
Yes the K.J. won late last year on tour using the Sumo on it's first use in a torunement. How many other drivers were in the winner bag the first time they were ever used in an event.

When KJ won with it, did he use a non-conforming driver? Hmmm...I wonder.

As soon as Nike came out with the recall news, they immediately stated that KJ's driver was conforming. I guess that the Tour guys benefit from more stringent quality control than the general public!

With so much money and a players reputation on the line, they better.
Absolutely right victory. Who remembers Greg Norman disqualifying himself from a tournament because he found out one of the golf balls given to him to test hadn't been approved yet? It would have been ugly if he hadn't dqed himself, and it had been found out later. The reputation means a lot to those guys.
Lol it always kills me when someone say I am going to get the Driver so and so uses on tour. Lets say VJ uses a Hibore Tour XL, everyone knows that this year great advertisment for Cleveland right. Here is the catch, unless you buy it from VJ you are not going to get the same driver he uses from your local rack. First his is fitted to him, okay so you get one with the same fitting specs. Well before a driver will go to a tour player all of it's specs are checked versus each other and the most pure driver will go to tour players while the still good but not quite as good driver will go to your local shop. There are always irregularties in similar models do to metal inconsistancies, foundry practices, mold performance, blah blah blah.
It reminds of back when I raced remote control airplanes. There was a stock division, that used a 110" wingspan AT-6 model. The kit had to be from a coupld of manufacturers that used the asame plans. SO all of the models were the same, right? Wrong the wood in the kits never came out the same you might build one and it was 2 lbs lighter than the last idnetical one you built. And engines, they required you to use a engine called the G62 which was produced by one manufacturer and you could not modify it. But the guys wil money would buy 10 of these engines at a time and would always get one that ran 200rpms higher than the rest and then they would junk the rest of them.
This same thing happens with golf, you may think your tour sasquatch is the same as Tigers right down to the shaft but I can promise you his is just a wee bit better because it was the best of the best that came off the line.
