Whats in the Bag
Equipment insider: Detailed WITBs of the OWGR top 5
We do a ton of WITBs here on WRX, but sometimes you gotta go a bit deeper into the specs to see what’s really going on. It’s always interesting to me when I see how a player gaps out his bag, whether he favors options at the top of the bag or the bottom and everything else you might find.
Let’s take a closer look at the top 5 as it sits this week

I seriously doubt that Rory at 5’9-5’10 has his 3 iron at 60* lie angle and woods slightly less than 60* lie angle, the toe would be way up in the air at address. Please don’t list off the rack specs and claim them as tour players’ personal specs, it’s just outright blatant.

We get them directly from the source and those aren’t the retail specs. Love your passion though

Lie angles are more upright than I would have guessed.

TP5’s making ProV’s look weak! Also thought Brooks was S400 in all his shafts. Wonder why he switched?
Thanks Wrx

Are you sure?
I thought he played X-100’s in his irons forever and only S400’s in his wedges

Brooks has always been in X100 irons, S400 wedges. Never S400 all the way through.
