The golf clubs that celebrities are using at the 2018 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Published

on

Our “What’s in the bag?” — or “WITB” — series at GolfWRX highlights the clubs and shafts that professional golfers have in their bags. This week at the 2018 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, we also took photos of the clubs that celebrity golfers have in their bag.

The Pebble Beach Pro-Am is known to attract actors, athletes, musicians, and other celebrities. While many are interested in seeing how those people fare on the golf course, here at GolfWRX, we’re looking at what equipment they’re using!

See all of our photos from Pebble Beach this week.

While we didn’t have the in-hand access to these celebrities that we normally do with PGA Tour players, we do have photo evidence of what clubs some of the celebs are using at Pebble Beach this week. Let’s have a look.

Tony Romo

Former Dallas Cowboys Quarterback, current CBS football analyst, and PGA Tour sponsor exemption recipient Tony Romo showed up to the range this week with a bag full of Mizuno MP-18 MMC irons. If his headcovers are any indication, he also has a Callaway GBB Epic driver and fairway wood, and either a Titleist hybrid or fairway wood.

Romo’s also supporting Meadowbrook Country Club, which should make his father (and part owner of the country club) happy.

Larry Fitzgerald

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has a bag full of PXG 0311XF irons and Ping Glide 2.0 wedges.

I’m not seeing a driver or even a driver headcover anywhere, but it does look like Fitz at least has a TaylorMade M1 or M2 fairway wood in the bag, with a Fujikura Speeder shaft.

Alfonso Ribiero

Alfonso Ribiero is best known for his role as Carlton in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, alongside Will Smith. And surely, he gets asked to do “the Carlton” dance everywhere he goes. That probably gets tiring, but the checks probably still cash. As far as his bag goes, I’m seeing Ping i200 irons and a hint of a Ping Glide 2.0 wedge.

We also spotted him swinging a Ping G400 driver with a Project X HZRDUS Yellow shaft.

Kelly Rohrbach

Model and Baywatch star Kelly Rohrbach is taking it OLD SCHOOL with a Callaway FT-5 equipped with an off-the-shelf shaft.

We also spotted her with a Callaway Steelhead fairway wood. Gotta respect it.

Aaron Rodgers

Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was spotted with a TaylorMade M3 driver equipped with a Fujikura Tour Spec shaft. I see you with those weights forward, Aaron… forward CG to reduce spin, I see you.

Bill Murray

Bill Murray is a national treasure. I mean, look at those bell bottoms and that vest and tell me he’s not. He’s also the most quotable man from the most quotable movie in golf.

Wait a second… is that… is that TaylorMade’s SLDR music?

Zoom in on the photo of Bill Murray at hole No. 18 at Pebble Beach and here’s what you get; a clear shot (well, pretty clear) of a TaylorMade SLDR 4-iron. So he’s got that goin’ for him.

Wayne Gretzky’s son-in-law-to-be

Fiance of Wayne “The Great One” Gretzky’s daughter Paulina is in the field this week at Pebble, and he was also spotted using a bag full of TaylorMade golf clubs at the 2018 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

His bag is equipped with quite stiff shafts, a brand new “T-Line” TaylorMade Spider putter, a yet-to-be released and custom-stamped 64-degree Hi-Toe wedge, fully custom P-730 irons and a P-790 long iron. Who is this guy??

    I would rather watch these special people play this special game than those really bad touring pros. Their one of a kind swings are so beautiful and the vintage equipment makes the game so pure. Off to get my hickory sticks!

    It’s the result of input from the TaylorMade tour staff, led by Dustin Johnson, who put the club in play last fall and used it in his victory at the Sentry Tournament of Champions to start the year in Hawaii. Other TaylorMade tour staffers like Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose have put the wedge in their bags, as well.

    It is ‘….fare on the golf course..’ and not “fair”.

    You can show celebrity clubs but never any pictures from the Champions Tour players? I really would like to see the equipment of the Champions Tour covered more in-depth.
    Thank you

    Callaway missed it again! They could have thrown a whole brand new bag of Rogue at Kelly Rohrbach but hey, that’s Callaway for you, not getting out there and using celebrity exposure. Whoever handled that miss should be fired!

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness

Published

on

New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.

The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.

For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.

While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.

A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.

 

A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.

You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.

Snell Golf launches new 2024 Prime lineup of golf balls offering ‘performance for all’

Published

on

Snell Golf has today introduced its new 2024 Prime golf ball lineup.

Per Snell, the new lineup focuses on offering urethane technology at an affordable price, while optimizing the golf ball performance based on player swing speed, or a more frequently known data point, 7-iron distance.

On the new release, Dean Snell, owner and CEO, says

“As our company has evolved over the last 9 years we continue to learn more about our customers and what we can do to make golf ball selection easy for the amateur golfer. Sometimes there is just too much data, described as ‘paralysis by analysis,’ leaving many golfers feeling overwhelmed. The new lineup is positioned to make it easy for our players to choose their model based on swing speed, or an even simpler metric of their 7-iron distance. Each model is designed to give those player profiles total overall performance and do so at a price point that makes sense for their game and their wallet.”

The release of the new models: Prime 2.0, Prime 3.0, and Prime 4.0 offer three performance levels and three price points to fit golfers of different capabilities:

Prime 2.0

A new 2-piece urethane golf ball ball designed for more leisurely swing speeds. A high speed core is designed to offer players higher spin and higher launch to promote overall carry distance, and works with the urethane cover for higher short game spin than other 2-piece balls on the market. The new XV3 Urethane cover aims to provide very soft feel, excellent durability, and superior greenside control.

Price: $24.99 per dozen.

Prime 3.0

Total performance for a wide range of golfers, a 3-piece urethane golf ball that evolves from the previous “MTB PRIME” and “MTB BLACK” models, designed to provide high ball speed and low long game spin that most players desire. The mantle layer is designed for controlling iron spin
to mid-high levels needed to execute every shot in the bag, while the brand’s NEW XV3 Urethane cover aims to provide softer feel, ultimate greenside control, and improved durability.

Price: $32.99 per dozen.

Prime 4.0

 

Designed for mid to high swing speed players, this model is a 4-piece urethane golf ball designed to provide golfers with leading performance. An ultra fast core and low spin aims to offer superior distance, while the mantle layers work to offer higher short iron spin and optimal launch for long
irons. The XV3 Urethane cover provides ultimate greenside control, excellent durability, and a slightly firmer feel on this model.

Price: $34.99 per dozen.

The 2024 Prime 2.0 and Prime 3.0 golf ball models will be offered in a high visibility white & optic yellow immediately shipping April 22nd on SnellGolf.com. The Prime 4.0 will also be on pre-sale in white on April 22nd, shipping May 1. Yellow 4.0 model expected to be available June 1.
