Professional players take access to the latest and most season technology every season, but not every pro you choose to add new, shiny toys to the bag.
Some, as Brooks koepkaThey have found the club that fits their swing and play, and they will hit them until they have to make a difference.
For Koepka, the five-time champion still the games still a Nike Vaporfly 3-Iz, which is no longer in production, and a Tayormade M2 ​​Hl 3-Dru, which hit the market about a decade ago.
In an interview with Today’s golf At the Dunhill Links Championship last week, Koepka explained why he holds those two clubs in the bag instead of choosing the latest technology.
Nike 3-Iron of Koepka
While some players can choose a 5-tree for more length, Koepka has stuck with Nike Vaporfly 3-Iron because of his confidence in his ball flight and negligible difference between him and 5-land.
While Vaporfly is no longer in production, Koepka has some reserves in his garage. Recently he added a new steam behind his face of an old curved during the open championship in Royal Portrush.
“I’m not a tinkerer,” Koepka said Today’s golf. “I don’t play around with different options. I’ve tried to throw a 5-drru, but the ball flight just doesn’t look good to me. I don’t know why. I’m not the age where I need a little extra help with extra forests, which is lucky but maybe in five or six years, I would not get all his help. I didn’t have to go without a club.
3-The brooks of brooks
As for the Taylormade M2 ​​HL 3-Wood of Koepka, it has become a staple because he has not been able to recreate the feeling with 3-drru. For Koepka, the 3rd dagger is the most difficult club in the bag to fit. Once you have done, do not move forward if not necessary.
“I think the 3-dude is the toughest club to adapt,” Koepka said. “I really have never found anything where you sit well on the right road or out. Flight I see with this, I have found just nothing where it is better. I think this is probably 10, 11, maybe 12 years now, but it’s crazy, as I said, I don’t tinker, so when I find something that works, I’ll keep going with it.
“You put on a new axis from time to time. I don’t change them, I think I’ve had every shaft in this bag for a long time and occasionally just dressing out of the little dress signs in the bag when the bag becomes a little inside, so you need to change shafts but not heads.”
“When something works, I keep going with it.”
As my colleague Jack Hirsch noted, this is an approach that Sanderson Farms’s last winner Steven Fisk also uses.
All the clubs in the fiscal bag, except his Mizuno St-Z Driver 230 and his Vokey SM10 lobby wedge, are from the early 2020s, including his misery mild and the T-22 wedges and Odyssey White Hot Og Rossie Putter.
We have seen Rory Mcilroy pays nearly $ 1000 For a Uber to bring him his old forest, his Taylormade Qi10, for the last round of Arnold Palmer Invitational. Mcilroy played the first three rounds with the new driver and the fairway Woods, from Qi35 linesBut he wanted to return to the clubs he felt most comfortable with.
Even if it’s not the newest or brighter club when you find something that suits your game, climb it. There is no need to tinker if you don’t need.
