Forum Thread of the Day: “Rickie Fowler’s Iron shaft change (KBS C-Taper to DG S400)”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from raywutang, who opened the forum for discussion concerning Rickie Fowler’s shaft change from the KBS Tour-C Taper 125 S+ to the True Temper Dynamic Golf Tour Issue S400 in his irons. Jonathan Wall broke the news on social media on Thursday, and our members have been discussing the move from Fowler, just a week before he heads to Augusta.
Interesting change ahead of the Masters as Rickie Fowler swaps KBS Tour C-Taper 125 S+ for True Temper Dynamic Golf Tour Issue S400 in his irons. Was already an S400 guy in the wedges. pic.twitter.com/OQp7WfB3i7

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- IHFN: “Could be because he’s getting different spin numbers with the new ball and wants a shaft to get the right spin. Not sure which shaft spins more?”
- Stanks: “I like the switch. Used the stock C-Taper Stiff / 120 in the Cobra MB / CBs from the prior generation and wasn’t the biggest fan. I am happy with my X100s, and if he blacked them out throughout the bag into the black Cobras, then that would be hot.”
- towncryer: “From what I can tell, DG S400 is going to be heavier and might spin just a touch less than C-Taper. Doesn’t seem to be a HUGE change, so I’m not worried about it affecting performance. Most likely a “feel” switch.”

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!

He might have softer feel and a bit more spin but his dispersion is gonna be all over the place.
