Tony Finau and Collin Morikawa Gear Up for FedExCup Playoffs with Key Changes

Tony Finau, currently 64th in the FedExCup standings, is looking to climb into the top 50 by making strategic equipment changes. Noticing increased spin with his driver, he transitioned to a Fujikura Ventus Black 7X shaft about a month ago. Now, he's incorporating the Titleist Pro V1x Double Dot prototype golf ball to further lower spin rates. According to Finau, this combination offers a higher launch with lower spin, a perfect match for his high-speed swing. More on GolfWRX.com?ref=yanuki.com.
