Mickelson to Use Square Headed Callaway Driver
Feb 10 2007 in Events and Outings by thestarter
From Bloomberg's Mickelson's Enticed, Woods Isn't by New Square-Head Golf Clubs:
Mickelson, who surprised the golf world by packing an extra driver on the way to winning last year's Masters Tournament, said he might use a square-headed version instead of a traditional oval driver at this year's edition in April.
The club is made by Callaway Golf Co., the world's leading club maker and one of Mickelson's sponsors. A product of the sport's rules meeting modern physics, the square-headed drivers from companies such as Callaway and Nike Inc. go on the market this month. They're made of titanium and carbon composite materials, and are aimed primarily at hackers out to hit the ball straight.
It's unlikely he'll be joined by top-ranked Tiger Woods, a Nike endorser who has tested the company's Sumo2 (Super Moment of Inertia Squared) model but prefers the oval-shaped SasQuatch driver because it allows him to curve his drives. Square drivers, by design, make that more difficult.
