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!
View this post on Instagram
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.

For the regular golfer, getting fit for single length irons would be a long and expensive process, it would be pointless to buy off the rack single length irons. That is why the other major oem companies are not offering their irons in single length. Bryson obviously can and it works for him.. I think that single length irons would be very beneficial for the majority of amateur golfers, I would definitely like to give it a try.

The fitting process is no longer than it is for traditional irons. What you’re really saying is that getting fit is harder than buying right off the rack. Yes, it is. Which is why most clubs are sold that way and most golfers are playing with sticks that actually hold them back–no matter at what level they play.

Safe bet with his type of swing that driver loft is much higher at impact…amazing how little rotation of the club face in his swing…I bet he has trained himself to the point his club face is square to the target from setup to impact…very square to square with high hands of Moe Norman setup and huge body turn away and back…..just looks like it hurts…

99% of all golfers worldwide cannot play his 7º Cobra F9 driver. It’s uncontrollable at low clubhead speeds. Keep deluding gearhead geeks.. lol
ATB

Same comment as previous article there, Al. Which driver can the 99% hit?
Allan
Nov 5, 2018 at 11:43 pm
… 15º…. maybeee…. 😛
Jon
Nov 6, 2018 at 5:16 am
Is it 7* or 9* ???
The top photo says it’s set on 7* and in the second photo it’s set to 9* ???
That’s if you actually believe that it is possible to change the loft of any adjustable driver !

They’re both set to 7 degrees on the “MyFly” setting.

Every review has been very positive on the new Cobra driver. I’d like to try one of those grips on my driver and hit a SIK putter…but no retailers sell them that I am aware of.

I saw Bryson hit it around The Australian in our Open C’ship a few years back, and his ball striking was just as good as anyone’s – including Adam Scott & Rory & Jordan Spieth! No way I’m using single length clubs (I love my MP-68s), but if it works for him, that’s great. Good to see someone with different ideas sticking it to the establishment!

Is this his first tournament with the F9 driver?
This dudes going to become Cobras new poster child. No hate on Bryson i just wish Mr. Fowler would turn it up.

Well said CCR Fan Man. I love Ricky and really hope he starts winning. I just cannot make myself like this guy above. Great game but what a terd of a person.
Rich Douglas
Nov 4, 2018 at 7:49 pm
WHO DAT? Dat boy De-sham-bo done did it agin!
Let the Bryson hating begin. But know that all of us single-length players are loving it.

Yeah but the difference is, you don’t have Jumbo Max grips on your clubs and you still can’t hit your driver straight so what’s the point of the single length for you, you idiot
Thomas A
Nov 5, 2018 at 10:41 am
The point is it works for him and he likes to golf with them you idiot.

I’m sorry for your unhappiness, CaoNiMa. I hope you get past it soon.
