Q&A: Martin Trainer on his Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers” putter, 6.5-degree driver, and “butter knife” 2-iron
As unbiasedly as I can put it, Martin Trainer has one of the coolest club setups in professional golf. (At some point soon, I’ll put together a top-10 list of “coolest club setups on Tour,” but I know that Trainer will be in the top-10)
What a lineup. He plays a 6.5-degree Wilson prototype driver, a 13-degree Wilson prototype 3-wood, a true blade Wilson Staff Model 2-iron, and a Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers Commemorative” putter!

I mean, look at this 2-iron from address…
To quote the great author R.L. Stine: “Goosebumps.”
On Wednesday at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, I caught up with Trainer to learn more about his bag setup.
Here’s what he had to say:
You have the Internet going crazy over your bag setup, and your putter. Where’d you pick the Bobby Grace-Greg Chalmers putter up? How long have you had it?
MT: This was from when Bobby Grace came to my course in California: Cal Club. And for whatever reason, they just started having them in the shop. So then I took my buddy’s, started using it, and made, like, a million putts in a row, which is how every putter story begins, I guess.
And then, I bought a couple of my own, used it for years, got to the Tour with it, won on Tour with it (the 2019 Puerto Rico Open). Then, about a year later, started using another putter, did that for a couple years, but now it’s back in the bag.
When did it come back in the bag?
MT: December of this past year. So a few months ago.
What year would you say was the first time you threw that in the bag, or, like, when you bought it?
MT: God…Probably, 2016, maybe? 2018?
Do you remember how much you paid for it?
MT: I don’t know, actually. Maybe $100-150 bucks or something. I think that’s the only golf club I’ve bought between high school and now. Well, two, since I bought two of them.
The driver is interesting, too. What went into the prototyping process?
MT: That was a version of the current driver, but it was the prototype that they first came out with for Tour guys to try. And for whatever reason, I just never switched out to the new one.
It’s just 6.5 degrees, right?
MT: Yeah. Very low loft, yeah.
What kind of ball speed do you have with that these days?
MT: Like high 170’s.
Yeah, that’ll work. And then a 2-iron blade? We’re seeing fewer and fewer of those out here.
MT: Yeah. The butter knife.
Very cool thing to have in the bag. Have you done any testing with driving irons?
MT: Yeah, I used to have a thicker one, but it was a little offset, and I never hit it that well. And then finally, I started messing around with the butter knife. And I remember the first time I looked down at it, I was terrified. And then I ended up getting used to it, putting it in play, and it’s been in place since. It’s a pretty good club for me.
How far do you carry that?
MT: Like 235.
A good little wind club, I’m sure.
MTL Yeah, exactly. I can hit it very low. It’s great.
I love it. You have people shook looking at that. Thanks for the time, man.
MT: Absolutely.

How could you let yourself go so much? She looks 20 years older than what she is and is 100 plus overweight.

Not that she is young, but she looks so old for her age. Really fat too! Gross 🙁

This thing is the same age as Brad Pitt? WTF? She looks older than my 75 year old grandmother.

I was expecting 1943, not 1963 when. I googled her age. Pathetic.

I saw Laura in person for the first time at the 1991 Mazda Championship in Bethesda, MD. The temperature was in the 90s and humid but she strolled with confidence wearing a sleeveless sweater over a polo. She seems very down to earth, and has always had my respect as a person and a professional golfer.

She wore the sweater in the 90 degree weather because she is f at as h ell. Nobody wants to see that blubber jiggle all over the place. If Laura wore a regular golf shirt it would be very disturbing to see. I would say more disturbing than the planes flying into the WTCs on 9 11.

God Bless her…She’s awesome. Funny, can hang with ANYONE…Whole lotta shaking goin’ on with that swing..
Bad back, bad hip – got it done for years. I show her swing to many of my ‘Xlarge’ students & with my 14 broken bones & 7 ortho surgeries – most military & 9/11 first responder injuries – and introduce it as “Here’s me in drag”… 😉

Judging by a couple of pics online the putter looks like an Odyssey Exo Rossie, an English website is saying Odyssey Red Ball

Interesting. I’d think she’d play the more forgiving parallax in the 2 iron and then have the 4-9 irons as the Lynx Tour (which is a pure blade, from what I can see on Lynx’s website). Sure you didn’t get these mixed up?
The new Lynx line of irons looks pretty strong for a first year comeback. Too bad these will likely not make it to Canada. Would lobe to try out the Prowler VT’s!
