Paul Casey Shaft @ match play

[eyeguy]

Is he using a Diamana Whiteboard? Hard to tell on TV.

 

Why not Project X to help Nike promote the VR Tour driver?

LOL are you gonna try to tell me that a world class tour player like Paul Casey would switch to a shaft to promote something for Nike? For a lot of those guys, you get something you like and it performs then you keep it.

uh... yes? so what is he playing with?

[dlefty]

Diamana WhiteBoard driver, BlueBoard FW's

[exlinegolf]

Is he using the VR Tour or Strt8?
Anyone know what loft?

[T-Gates]

It appears to be the tour, doesn't look to have the chunky hosel. Definitely with a WB as stated earlier, BB in the FW woods.

Whatever it is he was KILING it. Outdriving pinky by 40 yards

Paul Casey is built like Popeye. Ian Poulter needs to eat more meat then potatoes, he is skinny like a rail.

Yeah. As guy that hits it about 255-265 off the tee I love to see this.
I love getting out-drivin by 30 yards and still winning by 5 strokes
That being said Poulter played very well and deserved to win.

[Blackanvil58]

Poulter played very well. Not bad for someone wearing all pink. That is why Casey blew it by him. Poulter was wearing the pink dress.

[size="2"]I turned it on and saw Paul hitting 4i from somewhere like 250-ish out..... Damn that guy can flat out murder it. And the thing is it looked like a smooth swing compared to when you see TW or Camillo go after one and they swing outta their shoes and have a violent recoil. [/size]

[boywonder]

Casey looked like he had a project X shaft in his 5 wood. looked like an iron shaft in there though. not the project x graphite

The course they were playing at was at a high elevation. Balls always fly longer at high elevations due to decreased air density. When there was a yearly tour event a few years ago near Denver, CO (the mile high city) called the International, players that averaged 250 to 275 yards routinely hit drives over 325+ yards. And this was back in the days of persimmon drivers and wound balata balls.

+1

I had no idea the guy was so long. Seemed like very drive was 300+ and his swing looks so controlled.

Yes, sneaky long or is it the new Nike VR tour? Anyways, he outdrove Camillo in the semi more often than not and Camillo is considered one of the long bombers.

[cj78]

Its well known in Europe that he's one of the most powerful players out there. I think it was during a ryder cup match that one of the tv dudes said he had the largest forearms on tour!

[juanki]

also from his web site he uses 3 types of irons. 3 is sgi, 4 and 5 are gi and 6-sw pi.

It's only 1,990 ft there. 2,000ft and 5,200ft are a BIG difference.

There is a Paul Casey WITB video on You Tube and the PGA Tour website, you don't get to see what shafts he is using but you get to see pretty much everything else.
