I bet Ping are mad with Miguel..

[THJahar]

Just watched Miguel Angel Jimenez, snap his brand new Ping scottsdale pickmeup putter.
Bet Ping forced him to use it, as it's being launched now... not a great advert for them, do you reckon they might have words?

 

[Bobirdie]

I wouldnt like to hear his response if the did try and lecture him lol

 

[USER1999]

Didn't think Miguel was a club breaker.

 

[Robobum]

Who needs a putter when you can belly wedge it like that!!!!

you tube clip?

No way could a manufacturer force a player to play a club.

abuse of equipment - is it a penalty, and if not should it be?

 

[Parmo]

Good to see him joking with Monty and Clark, it was the putter used in the Ryder Cup.

I have enough problems trying to keep my handicap down as it is, without silly suggestions like that

 

[freddielong]

I would say Miguel has done more than enough good for Ping over the years I dont think they will push it

He'll get fined by the PGA guys that will suffice.

He might have to cut it down to 20 cigars a week for a couple of weeks to pay the fine though!

I don't know if forced is the right word, but TM managed to get thirty odd guys all wearing the same clothes yesterday!

Bet they couldn't do that on the LPGA!

I dont think Ping will be to worried,Hes top of the leaderboard(joint),with a round of 65....

As Region3 said, forced is s strong word, but I bet there were some meetings that went on when Tiger started then stopped using the nike method putter last year.

Just seen the highlights video on the European Tour website of the broken putter. The putt he holes with his lob wedge is awesome - this man is a seriously good.......and in my fantasy team

Well worth a look - Monty and Clarke sharing a joke as well, nice to see.

 

[kev_off_the_tee]

if I could put with my putter like AMJ does with that lob wedge.

I have been known to loose my temper and did with my old Ping Anser putter but rather than snapping it I threw it in the bush before picking it up donating it to a young lad with a set of dunlop clubs, poor bugger

 

[Wildrover]

Actually the Scotsdale range came out last summer and Miguel won in France and Switzerland with it last year.

 

[goldenbare]

I thought the one the commentators said was topped (17th?) was actually a push shot (but didn't phone in) any body else notice?

I think it was a great TV moment - seeing Clarke and Monty really pulling Jiminez's leg about it on the tee before teeing off. Clarke actually going to Jiminez's bag to pull the broken putter out and setting up for a diddy little swing.

I'm not saying we should see this sort of thing all the time, but every now and again is very entertaining.

Golfmmad.

It did make good tv and it isn't like Jimenez is a serial club breaker. I don't mind a pro losing it every now and again. At least it shows they care rather than just rocking up each week and pocketing a few grand more
