"It's not inconceivable that he could be ready to go in one week but that's probably optimistic," said Phillip Kwong, a foot and ankle specialist at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles. TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter

Wrists? Sure. Backs? Of course. Hands, elbows, hips, knees? All of the above. Achilles tendons? Running, jumping and quick changes of direction create those injuries.

Kwong said a simple step on flat ground puts stress of about 1 1/2 times a person's body weight on the tendon. He doesn't have enough casework to say how much strain comes from the weight shift of a TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter
