Someone here posted a topic a week or so ago about the poor Nike driver Tiger was using - apparently, at least for now, Tiger agrees ...
Woods will tee off Thursday morning (in the Buick Open) with his Titleist driver, a 1997 model that he replaced with a Nike driver 18 months ago. He said his old driver felt good on Monday at the ``Battle at the Bridges'' and during Wednesday's pro-am -- even though he's not driving the ball as far as he was.
``I don't hit it as far as my Nike driver, that's for sure,'' Woods said, declining to reveal how much distance off the tee he is sacrificing. ``But it's nice to go back to something that I've had some success with.
``It's interesting because we've come so far in technology since '97, it's amazing. When I rip this thing, it not going quite as far. I thought I hit some pretty good drives out there. They are not quite as far as I thought they would be, but the shape is back to what I'm familiar to seeing again, which is good.''
