Padraig's New Irons

[Audreyone]

Maybe he's not leaving Wilson?...hmmmm

While the GC was showing highlights of the PGA Grand Slam last night they spoke to Paddy about his round and he happen to mention that he had some new irons in his bag this week. My guess would be the Pi7's.

Does anyone out there have any pics?

Thanks.

Still look like Wilson Irons w/ TM wood

Oh - and these were from yesterday and today at the GSofG

[Mattro]

those look like the pi5's. definitely saw him hitting the 909 though.

[jjl]

Great player, seems like a nice guy, but that thing he does with his upper lip and teeth when he hits...it's gotta go.

[Audreyone]

Thanks for the pic slim16er! Those look like his old Pi5's alright. Maybe that hideous green shirt he had on confused him or something. Looks like also dumped his Wilson fwy wood for a TM.

[Mattro]

I thought he was always hitting the TM 3 wood but was hitting the wilson 5 wood

[slim16er]

Yeah - his face cracks me up. At least it's consistent.

[SJFP]

Yeah - his face cracks me up. At least it's consistent.

It's so funny ... every time he hits a shot he's like "no don't crap my pants"

[shakey]

According the Wilson rep, Paddy has at times played the Wilson Fybrid 5 wood. I'm not sure if its consistently in the bag, but it has been at times.

[BEND OF THE RIVER GC]

Yeah - his face cracks me up. At least it's consistent.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[jebb]

Do you think Bob Torrance gets him to work on "the face" up at Largs?

 

Seriously though hats off to Padraig for a fantastic year.

[robb01]

I wish Wilson had a bigger presence, they make some nice clubs

[jbombardieri]

Besides Harrington, does anyone know anyone who plays Wilson clubs who doesn' get paid to play them?

I am pretty sure Harrington gets paid by Wilson. DJ Trahan would be the other pro you see quite a bit with a Wilson bag.

Anybody see Harrington's playing lesson with the pros? He did a full out Happy Gilmore swing and flushed the ball...it was awesome.

[resist_hard.]

Thats epic. I didn't see it but would like too if it is online.

 

I saw him warming up at the open and he was hitting drives with 1 arm. They were still travelling about 260 yards which is sickening.

[jebb]

Isnt Anthony Wall a Wilson Staff pro too?

 

Cant think of too many others.

No not many, Marcus Brier is the only other that I can think of

[Lefty Cat]

What Padraig did was more impressive. I can hit a ball off my knees close to 250 or so with Driver. Padraig absolutely murdered that Happy Gilmore ball.

Jesper Parnevik and the spaniard Lara are 2 others

Paddy has been trying a new forged cavity back wilson proto , not sure if its the club in picture . He also isnt as impressed as he initially was with the Titleist 909 and is looking for something else .

 

He is looking pretty certain to stay at wilson . He has had a full offer from nike $10 million for , 13 clubs , clothes , shoes , cap deal , and also a $4 million offer from bridgestone for clubs and ball . But he is not keen on dropping all his smaller sponsors .

[Schilly]

That was great when he went Happy Gilmore, the best thing was he said he can do that anytime he wants.... I think he said it came from growing up playing field hockey or some such game.

Nike would not offer him a deal...Where does this information come from? From their staff and philosophy on Tours they only sign young and up and coming athletes. Padraig is a top 3 or 4 golfer but he is up there in age...

[jfzhorseman]

Like Justin Leonard?

Choi, Cink, Loenard, Ames - all mid 30s+ - Believe me Nike doesn't care how old you are - they care how good you are.

I was in bermuda for the GS and Paddy was using a TM Limited in the pro am but went to a burner for the tournament.

Harrington press conference on Wednesday in Ireland..... looking like he's staying with Wilson for now, despite a 6x his wilson deal offer from Bridgestone...
