what is your favorite practice drill that you do before every round?

Bill,

Do you have any tips on how to handle pressure when you are coming down the stretch.  As a junior golfer, I think being able to handle pressure is very important.

Good Luck!

Thanks,

Ben

Bill, J.J. How much ball speed are you putting up on your 910 Driver compared to last year with the new prov1x? I just bought the 910 d2 460, thats why I ask! Just talk to Steve Stricker, I'm a Wisconsin Badger. Winters are bad here, hoping for relieve soon. Watch your dad play here and Chicago back in the day. I'm retired. followed  him around a little back in the day. Give my best to your dad, Steve doen't know me. He does have a charity event in June in Madison and my brother-in -law is a foundation member of his. The reason I asked and told you this because I was watching you and other titleist team members and trying to figure this out.Best of luck this season to you. And keep up those top ten finishes.

Coming from a golfing family, what is the biggest thing you learned from your father about the game?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for taking time out to speak with us.  I love your swing - could you share and explain some of your swing thoughts with us?  Or perhaps talk about some of the things you work on (drills, practice ideas, etc) to keep your ball striking so solid?

Thanks again,

Just wondering how much of a difference you notice with the new 2011 Pro V series balls? I really like the new alignment font they have switched to, but I feel that only few professionals will have the feel to truly answer the question of improvements on course.

Skyler, have not played outdoors with the x, but played last year with prov1, cobra 460 driver, aldila shaft 60, played 150 rounds, I got  a lower spin rate, driver 9 degrees, higher ball speed, can't wait for spring in Wisconsin to play.I just bought the 910, 460, hit it about  four hundred times at golfsmith this winter, a lot straighter than the cobra, I'm not to concerned with distance. Check Zac Johnsons stats! Thanks J.J.

Bill,

You have really shown us US fans you can play by working your way up to WR 46th. What do you think sets you apart from where you were 5 years ago to now? Is the equipment better or has the golf swing changed where the equipment isn't a huge concern? 

Thank you!

Hi Bill,

If you were stuck on a desert island and to get off the island you had to hit a golf ball into a bucket floating in the ocean 210 yds away and you were eating pizza and watching the greatest golf movie of all time, what club would you use, what toppings would you have on the pizza and what line would you quote from the movie?  Remember, it's a sand shot!

What makes a golf ball that you can trust, and how has Titleist helped you success?

Good luck!

Hi Bill,

    What's your favorite club in your bag and why?

Bill,

Obviously you come from a pretty distinguished golfing family.  How did your interest in the game develop and how much did your family members push or encourage you? 

Bill,

Congratulations on a great start to 2011!  Even though you've won before on tour, do you feel like your nerves kick in the same as they have in the past, or are you more in control of them knowing that you have been there before? 

Best,

Chris

Hi!

Silly question...but were you flying out of PHX (Terminal 3) around noon on Monday after the Waste Mgt. Open?  I could have sworn I saw you at the airport...or someone who looks just like you!  I even called my brother to see if my description sounded like you!  By the time I found my pairings sheet to ask you (or the Bill Haas look alike) for an autograph you (or he) was gone.  I've been wondering ever since...

Thanks everyone for all of your questions!

We caught up with Bill on the range at Riviera earlier in the week.

His answers are now posted here on the Tour Blog.

Bill:

What is your most memorable golfing experience involving you and your father Jay?

Thanks
