Anyone know what this is? A prominent Asian tour pro had it in play at the 2008 U.S. Open. (I think it is Katayama, but I'm not up to speed as all of you here on the JPGA/JDM.) Might be old news, but I still haven't seen another one, or heard anything about it. Again, I took these in early June, so it may be old news.

When I zoom in all the way in the bottom most picture I can make out Bassara. Guess it's a Bassara, is it a new model?

My first reaction was a 'Crazy' but then you guys are probably right it being a Bassara proto.

These tees are available everywhere and this seems to be the two part one that would either be spring loaded or break away at the middle. |
