Seems Charl Schwartzel has signed for PXG and will be using at least some of their clubs this week in the open, he last played 2 weeks as a Nike sponsored player. Brave or stupid (or just financially sensible lol)
Changing manufacturer in a major week???

Didn't Mickleson do it just before an Open or Ryder Cup?

Suppose it depends on how comfortable he is with the new clubs.
PXG is a terrible name by the way.

It is strange timing for him, great timing for PXG though.

He changed to Callaway just before 2004 Ryder Cup I think and I think he put his first drive in the water and got the look from Woods ( that might have been K Club actually ) ?

Should do more research before investing in bets
Charl's one of my outrights - surely it takes a while, even as a professional, to bed in new manufacturers clubs and become comfortable with them.Unless they're nike clubs with PXG logo lol

Sounds like PXG prototype driver, Callaway 3 wood, PXG irons (3-PW) and 54 degree wedge, Ping putter and Titleist ProV balls

Mickelson loves talking up whichever new driver is in the bag and how he now feels he can get after it like he wants to...
Then proceeds to hit about 2 fairways and miss the cut

I am pretty certain the change did not come as sudden as it appears and Schwartzel had plenty of time to practice with the PXG clubs. It is just the official announcement that makes it look so sudden (and which is placed close to the Open because that way it gets more media coverage ... this thread kind of proves that that works).
This makes sense. Can't see that anyone would suddenly jump brand that close to a major without having done some massive testing to get the specs absolutely right for him. The announcement before the major starts makes sense to get as much publicity as they can before it starts.

PXG are top notch clubs very nice to hit, watch out for more players signing for them.
Drivers at the moment are not great but the irons are nice

I just can't ever see them making a real impact in the market with the outrageous price tags they carry

Yeah and if they prove to be OK TM and the rest will be copying them in no time....how much are they out of interest?

The USP must be the fitting and tuning all those tungsten weights....so distribution will be a challenge.

Im sure he'll have been hitting them for a lot longer than 2 weeks.
PXG must be paying good money to these boys, no one tends to leave Ping and Johnson has been with Titleist for years.

it was def i Titleist iron he was using on the Open Preview show on Monday, so maybe not switched to his new irons yet??
Just watched Zack warming up and he still was using his old AP2 and woods
