Spotted: Titleist PT fairway wood from 2001 in Rafa Campos’ bag!

Published

on

Let’s just start by saying that the Titleist PT (Pro Trajectory) fairway is a legendary club that still gets talked about today as one of the best ever made. This week at the Valero Texas Open, we found Rafa Campos gushing over a PT13 3-wood that he still carries in his bag. Now, it isn’t his gamer 3-wood, yet, but he does hit it as a practice club during his range time. We were lucky enough to chat with him about what he loves about the classic 3-wood. You can watch the interview with him below — I love the passion he has for the classic fairway wood!

@golfwrx Find someone who looks at you the way Rafa Campos looks at the @Titleist PT 3-wood ? Does anyone else share the affinity for this club or any others? #golftiktok #golfwrx #golf #fyp #pgatour #titleist #titleistgolf ? original sound – golfwrx

The first thing Campos talked about was how much he loved the small face of the PT fairways. He really loves the feel he gets off the smaller and firmer faces, as the responsiveness lets him know exactly where he makes contact. The one he has isn’t the original one he owned, as he cannot find that one and thinks he must have given it away at some point. He was speaking with a friend, and the topic of the Titleist PT came up, and his friend told Rafa that he had one. His friend brought the PT13 when they met up to play some golf, and it looks to now be in Rafa’s possession.

We asked if he was really going to put it in play, and Rafa mentioned the more flexible steel shaft being the reason he isn’t going to game it…yet. He said that if it could be reshafted with something stiffer, he would probably put it in play. We aren’t sure if the folks on the Titleist tour truck could reshaft the PT, as it uses an old bore-through hosel that modern shafts aren’t designed for. For reference, a bore-through hosel goes through the entire neck of the club and comes out of the heel on the sole. This uses up a lot of the tip section of the shaft, and modern wood shafts only have around 3-4 inches of parallel tip section to work with.

Right now, Rafa will continue to use his gamer 3-wood, but let this be a warning that if it acts up, a classic PT13 is ready to step in!

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
