Something the Mole failed to pick up is that Tiger has changed drivers at some point during his comeback. He is now using a Nike SQ Dymo 380 driver with 10.5° of loft instead of his old Sasquatch. A bizarre fact is that when Tiger first started on Tour he was using a 6.5° driver!

"As far as my driver is concerned, as we all know, loft is your friend. [The Mole suggests you note that!] The reason why you hit a 3-wood straighter is because it has more loft, and that helps. My release has changed over the years, and I just need a little bit more loft now. It's working out and I'm driving the ball more efficiently. I still have the same power, but I just need the loft now.”

Another less interesting point is that he has gone back to his old Nike Forged irons and dumped the new Victory Red’s. "I went back to an old set that I had played before and had some success with, so I went back to that.” Read as, “I didn’t like them...”

"But you know, it is what it is and technology has changed and the ball doesn't spin as much as it used to, and you have to have a little bit more loft than you used to play."
