Young gun Japanese pro golfer Tanihara Hideto has made the move from Bridgestone Tourstage to rival brand PRGR. Tanihara was once touted as the future of Tourstage so it surprised me at first to see him move but he hasn't quite lived up to his billing the last few years. PRGR is a good company and makes great golf clubs in Japan. If Tanihara had to make a switch he definitely made a good one by joining the Pro Gear Staff along with Yano Azuma. Here's a look at his new golf gear and what's in his bag:

Driver: PRGR 2008 TR-500 Zirconium Driver 10* with Inspec 707 Shaft

FW: PRGR Egg Spoon 3 Wood PX-03, PRGR M3 Hit Tour 5 Wood

Irons: PRGR is3 500BL 3-PW

Wedges: PRGR MTI Type D 53* and PRGR Type S 58*

Putter: Yes! Callie F

As more info about his gear becomes available, like shaft specs and so on, I'll post it up here.

Let's see how this move changes Tanihara's game which has seen some swing changes in the past couple of years. We'll see if he can reach his potential as one of the top Japanese golfers in Japan.
