Matt Dobyns - WITB shot @ 2018 PGA Championship

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS

 

A bag that belongs in the WRX hall of fame.

[pcs11]

Best bag on wrx! He came on here the last time Greg shot his witb and explained some of the interesting things he does. He absolutely bombs the ball.

[ctgolfnut66]

Never play this dude for $

 

My thoughts exactly. If someone with a bag like this walks up to the first tee and asks you for a game, kindly refuse.

[Dan Drake]

For everyone inquiring about the hybrids, IIRC, he had to TRADE a member for those. I think he saw them, loved them, figured out how he could bend/bore them and get them to his specs, and then had to wheel and deal to get them off of the member, lol!

[provx]

Wonder what the length on that thriver is

[QuigleyDU]

couple things..

 

first: is that putter left handed? or is the picture just mirrored?

 

second: is he related to Mike?

[tuftskec]

wild. Those wedges have seen some s***

Are those heads considered hybrids or fairways? Looks like they're marked 5 and 9.

Yes, he putts lefty and hits the ball righty.

I'm not sure about the relation question, maybe Matt will chime in on this thread and answer.

He refers to the Fourteen heads as hybrids, from what I remember, so I'll go with that. 17° & 23°, and I'll bet he can step on both of them to get whatever yardage he needs out of them!

Mike Dobyns was a long drive champ a few years back. hold the record for longest driver in competition.

[ChaosTheory]

Anyone notice the rotted grip?

[QuigleyDU]

dude is coming out swinging. -3 right now.

[nova6868]

We joked around about his bag, and now he's on the leaderboard. He wins.

[gentles]

Oops

[PreppySlapCut]

Looks like the G5 finally bit the dust. RIP. In addition to being a great guy, he might be the longest player in the field. That triple hurt, but he’s righted the ship. Would love to see him play the weekend!

Not the longest but he's up there. Only averaging a yard or two less than DJ.

[tyorke1]

What type of lead is that I have only seen rolls and strips that looks big. Crazy setup

[mdobsss]

I always love seeing my bag on WRX, it’s one of the things that makes playing the PGA so fun.

 

There is a method to all the madness (albeit maybe not as sound as bryson’s)

 

The 9i-LW are all sandwedge length, the 4i-8i are all 8 iron length. I’ll cycle in the 2i or Fourteen hybrids depending on what the course requires.

 

I haven’t found a three Wood I can hit with any consistency so that’s how I came up with the 13.5* epic at 42”.

 

The new ts3 driver is waaaaaaaaaay better than the last 3 models so I’m very happy with it and the tensei Orange feels good too.

 

The putter has been in my bag a while. It’s not the most traditional thing I’ve ever looked at but when you had The yips as bad as I did you care less about aesthetics.

 

I thought this was my year after 3 birdies to strat but a tree root derailed my momentum (and destroyed my 4 iron) then I made a mess of things trying to make up for that.

 

Thanks!

Matt Dobyns

[mdobsss]

Love it! Looks like the G5 "2 Wood" from his other WITB has been replaced with the Epic. I'll be rooting for this guy this week.

 

I miss that G2 but the epic spins and curves less.

No relation to Mike

The tour 25 grips wear out fast and are a bit embarrassing now that I see them online....... Matt

Perfect example of use what works Matt.

 

Sorry to hear about the root derailing your round and killing your 4.

 

Still great to see you on here and best of luck for your future tournaments.

[carrier street]

This is the bag of a crazy person.

[yesac104]

the high-tow wedges are pretty neat

Thanks for sharing. Curious how much you hit that epic driver off the deck or is it mostly a safety shot off the tee?

[Carson33]

I bet he puts lead tape on his toothbrush!

Thank you for the reply!! i looked it up after I asked and saw the last names are spelled differently.

[avg_joseph]

This bag is nuttier than squirrel doo doo... I also love that he has no less than 3 different grips, 2 different colors of GP MC's and another GP that I've never seen before!!! Cracked Grips and grip tape exposed. Ultimate DIY Bag!!!

 

The comments on this thread are fantastic too, "Forest Whitaker Eye" had me :cheesy:
