And, you know, I suppose I'm not that bothered about one man's performance in the sport as for it to see it negatively.
If McLaren is going to come on board and be a big brand in the game in the long run.
But for Justin, yeah, I think it is a big risk.
I don't think the irons are really much of an issue.
Uh, I think as it's got to be more the driver and I think the heads in the woods would be, uh, and, and of course the ball from memory when he went to Honma was using the Honma ball, uh,
I seem to think he may have done.
Yeah, to change the ball and the woods in one fell swoop would be the biggest risk.
If he's keeping the ball and just changing the woods, then he would have done a lot of testing, I'm sure, and probably seen that the performance is fine.
The worry is the performance under competition, under competitive strain, when you start to see just one shot.
And it's only got to be one shot that you hit that makes you think, oh, that's new.
Whereas I know with my old equipment, when I felt this, it did something different.
that can be quite deleterious as it pertains to scoring, obviously.
So I think it's adding in another, well, a layer of uncertainty at a time when he's really building nicely.

And Nike actually a good example of a brand that a lot of people, when they went out of golf, continued using old clubs.
I mean, the Nike driver was actually a very popular club.
Tommy Fleetwood continued using it.
I know Tom Lewis, a good friend of mine, was using it for a long time after.
