SCHEFFLER’S COMMENTS ABOUT Qi10 DRIVER FITTING 

“I remember hitting it in Phoenix this year and the first couple times with this specific head it was hanging a little bit left. I asked Adrian if we could just go back to the neutral upright setting because now I could see the loft and what I needed to see and we moved it back to the neutral setting and it clicked instantly. I was able to hit all the shots I wanted to hit.” – Scottie Scheffler 

“Scottie’s feedback when testing all of the Qi10 heads was that he felt the Qi10 standard head was more predictable and more forgiving for him. When you look at the way the head is set up, he’s correct in that regard just because of where he has weight in the head which produces higher inertia and more forgiveness,” says Adrian Rietveld, Senior Tour Manager.

HOW SCHEFFLER BENEFITS FROM TRUE PATH ALIGNMENT 

Scottie switched to his Spider Tour X with True Path Alignment and a full sight line before the Arnold Palmer Invitational, his first win of 2024. Since then, the putter has produced four wins including a green jacket. Scheffler shared how he benefits from True Path:

“So I had tried a Spider during the play-offs last year. It was a little bit of a different type of Spider that the one I used last week. At times, last year I struggled lining the ball in the middle of the face, so I lined the ball up on the toe sometimes, then I struggled with a tiny bit of a heel strike and that just became kind of my miss. Like if I was fighting a duck hook off the tee, I was fighting a little bit of a heel miss with the putter. And this Spider putter it is really easy for me to line up. I don’t have to use the line on the ball. I line the putter up really well in the middle on the face and pretty much simple as that. And gives me just a really good visual”.

WHY SCHEFFLER PLAYS P·7TW IRONS 

As the story goes, Scottie Scheffler was playing P·730 irons during the final round of the 2020 Masters when he was paired with Tiger Woods. Scottie watched Tiger hit his irons around Augusta National and left wanting to test the irons designed by The Goat himself.

After a testing session back home in Dallas proved next level playability without sacrificing distance, Scheffler put the TW’s in the bag. Since the switch, he has won 11 PGA Tour events, two green jackets and has set records that have only been done by Tiger himself.
