Callaway Golf Diablo tested by Mickelson and Mediate
Thursday 18 December, 2008
Phil Mickelson and Rocco Mediate became some of the first players in the world to get their hands on Callaway Golf's Diablo range fresh out of the lab.
The Diablo line has still yet to be unveiled - the public could get a first glimpse at the PGA Merchandise Show in January, to be held in Orlando, Florida.
But Callaway Golf endorsees Mickelson and Mediate took part in an LG Skins Game at the weekend and Golf Equipment Examiner has reported that both players were testing different Diablo clubs.
Mickelson told the golf news provider: "I just put the new Diablo 3-wood in my bag. I have been trying for a lot of years to get a 3-wood to perform like this Diablo and I'm excited about that. It goes a long ways, is very straight and it's easy to hit."
On the Diablo 3, he continued: "It's got plenty of loft. It's not overly strong, but the spin stays down and it seems to go."
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods says he has spoken to Mickelson about comments made by his caddie Steve Williams and says that the matter has now been "put to bed".
