SPOTTED: Tiger Woods puts a graphite shaft in his driving iron

We spotted Tiger Woods with a new shaft in his TaylorMade Tour Preferred UDI 2-iron at The Memorial Tournament, Thursday.

Woods had been playing a steel shaft in the club (Project X PXi 7.0), but we’ve confirmed the 14-time major champion switched to a Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White Hybrid 100 shaft in his driving iron.

Naturally, GolfWRX forum members were quick to spot the switch and there’s already a thread dedicated to the topic.

Woods now plays the some variety of the Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro in all of his graphite shafts.

Driver: TaylorMade M3 460 (8.5 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 70TX

3-Wood: TaylorMade M3 (15 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 80TX

5-Wood: TaylorMade M1 2017 (19 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 90TX

        Rory is suffering from premature aged spine… ergo graphite shafts for more floppy soggy flexing and less body stress.
