Jan 18 MickelsonMastersSquare

Pjil Mickelson is gearing up to use Callway’s new square driver at the Masters in April. The defending champion has spent the winter working on a strategy to win a third green jacket, and thinks Callaway’s latest effort will help him to do so.

 

Mickelson said: “I think the square-headed driver is not just an evolutionary driver. I think it’s more of a revolutionary driver. Because it’s such a drastic change, because the moment of inertia is so high, because the ball goes so straight it doesn’t want to curve, I think it’s actually going to take a little bit more time to be accepted on the PGA TOUR.

 

“There will be guys that love it. Guys that don’t like to work shots and want to aim it down the middle of the fairway and rip it, this will be perfect for them because it goes so straight. But some guys like to hit little draws, hit a fade, hit high shots, low shots; and the design from my manufacturer, the FT5 is a much better fit to hit those variety of shots.
