RBC Heritage Tour Truck Report: Kevin Kisner takes the armlock plunge?
The tour trucks roll into the Lowcountry and Hilton Head Island this week for the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links. With plenty of players who teed it up last week at Augusta National in the field, it’s a combination of finally heading to the doctor’s office for ailments that surfaced prior to the season’s first major and the freedom to experiment before the intensity ratchets up again leading into the PGA Championship at the end of May.
And for those who didn’t tee it up at Augusta, well, this week represents the opportunity to double down and get after it.
Driver and putter changes abound this week, as well as some shaft switches and fresh grooves.
Tune in to this week’s Tour Truck Report.
Titleist
Chesson Hadley switched into a 15-degree TSi3 (A1 SureFit setting) as he works on a push-draw ball flight.
Denny McCarthy is testing U500 and T100 4-iron in a bid for more control on hold shots and tight fades.
Not a Titleist staffer, Chris Kirk is testing an 8-degree TSi2 with a Kai’li Blue Prototype 60 TX shaft.

Jason Dufner tested a Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X shaft before ultimately settling on a Project X HZRDUS Smoke Yellow 60 TX for his RadSpeed driver.
Callaway
We spotted Kevin Kisner testing the armlock putting style with multiple heads. Per Callaway, Kisner ultimately settled on a Stroke Lab Black Seven putter with a White Hot insert and a SuperStroke Flatso 17 grip (positioned sideways). We’ll see if it goes into play Thursday.

Emiliano Grillo is testing an Epic Speed DS (9 degrees @8.3, neutral) with a Fujikura Ventus Blue 6 X shaft (45.5 inches, tipped 1 inch).
Dylan Frittelli moved into an Epic Max LS driver.
Apparently, the Top Gun Proto Apex MB didn’t take Mav McNealy’s breath away as he looks to have returned to his Nike VR Blades for the RBC Heritage this week.

Danny Willett is reportedly testing Mitsubishi Diamana Kai’li White in his fairway woods.
Matt Wallace tested a number of Toulon putters and an Odyssey 2-Ball Ten.
Cleveland/Srixon
William McGirt tested a Graphite Design Tour AD DI in his 5-wood.

Doc Redman is gaming the TP5 2021 ball.
Harry Higgs put the 2021 TP5X in play as well as an MG2 wedge (60 degrees).
Bobby Mac, Robert MacIntyre, has a SIM UDI 2-iron in play.
Non-staffer Daniel Berger is in a SIM driver (9 degrees).
PXG
Zach Johnson has a new Graphite Design Tour AD DI 6 X shaft in his driver.
Hudson Swafford was spotted testing what we’re calling PXG Gen4 ST irons.

Spotted: Titleist GTS USWO headcovers
GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore was at Riviera Country Club this last week in Los Angeles for the U.S. Women’s Open. While browsing the photos, I spotted a recent major trend in headcovers. That is, the Titleist GTS headcover line expands the majors theme.
Seen on the bag of Natalia Guseva were the red, white, and blue Titleist GTS covers. This is the third time we have seen limited-edition Titleist major covers, the others being at the Masters and the PGA Championship. But with the launch of the GTS line back at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March, this is the first time we have seen Titleist come out with major themed head covers for the season (driver headcovers through hybrids).
Check out some photos below.

At the Masters, we saw the familiar Masters green, white, and yellow. While the PGA Championship design was colors synonymous with the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. This shows the season major drops continue full steam ahead for major OEMs. New opportunities for each major for designs and themes, and who knows, maybe a lucky spark for a player and a major championship for their resume. It gets the wheels turning for what major theme headcover you would keep on your bag for the whole season!

Why ban it? If it’s such a huge advantage everyone would do it, and they can do it.

Isn’t arm locking just a form of anchoring?

They really should have just limited the length of ALL putters to 35″, period, no exceptions!

Looks like armlock is taking off just like belly putters did. They should have just banned armlock when they made the first ruling. That was a mistake.
