Streelman to use reality show club at CareerBuilders event
Kevin Streelman sat on a panel for the Golf Channel reality show "Driver vs. Driver," and will now use the winning product this week at the CareerBuilders Challenge.
The driver, called the Triton DVD, was designed by Eric Sillies and features two soleplates, four changeable weights, an adjustable hosel, and the option to personalize the length, grip size, and shaft.
"This is a super high launch, low spin driver which for me is very sexy," Streelman told Alana Johnson of golf.com. "I struggle with spinning the ball too much, so to knock a dramatic amount of the spin off the club is huge. For me, that's going to add a lot more distance, especially on firmer fairways and in tough conditions on the PGA Tour."

The club was deemed non-conforming by the USGA for any loft in between 10.5 and 12 degrees, but is now considered legitimate thanks to adjustments made.
Sillies won the show and was awarded $500,000 for the design.
