The golf equipment that you'll be lusting for next season is hitting the PGA Tour now. There are plenty of new drivers, irons, wedges, putters and balls being passed around the range.

Last week I had a chance to speak briefly with Miguel Angel Jimenez, the ponytail-wearing, cigar-smoking Spaniard who always seems to be hanging around the top of the leaderboard in major championships. When I asked him about his new Ping i15 driver, he said he really liked the club but needs to spend more time with it. Close, personal time.

In the days leading up to the 2009 British Open, player after player came into the media center and said it would be critical to hit the fairways at Turnberry. The combination of deep round a nasty pot bunkers would make scrambling tough.

On Thursday, en route to scoring a 64, Miguel Angel Jimenez hit 12 of 14 fairways, 13 of 18 greens in regulation and needed just 27 putts to complete his round.

According to Ping, here are the clubs The Mechanic used Thursday at Turnberry:

DRIVER: Ping Rapture (7.5°) with Accra AXIV XC65 X shaft
FAIRWAY WOODS: Ping TISI TEC (14°) with UST ProForce 75 X shaft, (18°) with UST V2 86 X shaft
IRONS: Ping S57 (3-PW) with True Temper Superlite X-100 shafts
WEDGES: Ping Tour-W (52°), Tour-W TS (60°) with True Temper Dynamic Gold X-100 shafts
PUTTER: Ping JAS Tess
