Callum Tarren’s unusual footwear trick to prevent slippingCallum Tarren’s unusual footwear trick to prevent slipping
Most golfers can only dream of creating the speed and distance that PGA TOUR player Callum Tarren does. For the 2021-22 PGA TOUR season, Tarren ranked 15th in driving distance, hitting it 312.4 yards on average. He was also ranked 12th in Club Head Speed, averaging 121.56 mph per drive. At those speeds, any loss of stability can have negative effects on balance and ball flight. Catching up with Tarren at the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open, GolfWRX learned that he uses a unique trick to keep his right foot from slipping out from under him. While most golfers have the same style of spikes throughout the soles of their golf shoes – whether it’s metal spikes or soft spikes – Tarren uses a combination of both in his FootJoy Premiere Series Tarlow shoes. “In the right shoe, I have metal spikes in the front five [spike slots], and then soft spikes in everything else,” Tarren told GolfWRX. “Just because, when this shoe came out, I was getting a little right foot slip. And then I went to see Dr. Greg Rose at TPI (Titleist Performance Institute), and he said a guy my speed should be wearing metal spikes. “He said to try metal in the front five,” Tarren continued, “and ever since then I’ve had no slips. Obviously with ground pressures and ground forces, it helps me stay stable through the ball.” It comes as no surprise that Tarren opts for a black colorway in his golf shoes, either, since he’s known in the equipment world for using custom black Titleist irons and wedges. According to GolfWRX.com, Tarren uses a combination set of Titleist T100 (3-iron), Titleist 620 CB (4-iron) and Titleist 620 MB (5-9) irons, all with a black PVD finish. He also uses Titleist SM9 Jet Black wedges (46, 52, 56 and 60 degrees).
Patrick Rodgers thanks Scott Hend for gesture made more than 10 years agoPatrick Rodgers thanks Scott Hend for gesture made more than 10 years ago
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The first round of the CIMB Classic began innocuously for Scott Hend, an Asian Tour veteran and former PGA TOUR player. He arrived for his 9:30 a.m. tee time and set off on the first of two rounds with Englishman Ian Poulter and American Patrick Rodgers. But on the second tee, he got a reminder of how PGA TOUR players can make a positive impression with fans every time they tee it up, courtesy of Rodgers. “On the second hole, he [Rodgers] walked off the tee and said, ‘This is going to sound a bit weird, but when I was 10, you gave me a signed glove, and it was the first thing I ever got from a professional golfer.’� It was a gesture that wasn’t forgotten. “I’ll never forget it. I still have it at home,� Rodgers said. Hend played two full seasons on the PGA TOUR in 2004 and 2005, before returning to the Asian Tour, where he is a nine-time winner. His most recent win in 2016 put him in third place on the all-time wins list on the Asian Tour and he won the Order of Merit that year. In those two seasons on the PGA TOUR, Hend twice played in THE NORTHERN TRUST, then played at Westchester Country Club. It was at that event either in 2004 or 2005 that Rodgers says Hend gave him a glove. It was an act that meant a lot to Rodgers, who said he was a shy kid, and that he remembers what it felt like to have Hend take the time to come over to him and make his day. That simple gesture helps Rodgers keep perspective while playing on the PGA TOUR, and reminds him that even the small things can change someone’s life. “It can have a huge impact. It’s maybe easy to forget when we are out here, since it’s our job, but you can make a real difference with the people that come to watch you play.� Following Thursday’s round at TPC Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Hend took to Twitter to remark on the moment between the two players, and Rodgers replied.
