Tour Max Homa - WITB - 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational

I was listening to Max interview on No Laying Up Podcast. Such a good listen. 
 

He did mention that he put a new high launch low spin driver shaft in the bag. 

[QuigleyDU]

Ventus in driver is new for him I think.. 

[ShupeSC]

Guys are really liking that t200.  Might have to take a look and see what the hype is about.

[nova6868]

Hi-Rev 2.0 130? Have never seen that shaft before, just 125 and 135.

 

I guess he talked KBS into making him some Hi-Rev shafts to match the weight of his iron shafts.

tungsten in the wedge toe?

I would like to know what is going on with his wedges too. Must be a lot of custom grinding to remove the stock stamping on the toe.

I would assume it's filled in by welded stainless fill rod or tungsten. Numbers and grind letters are filled in. JT looks to be the same.

Pw, Sw, Gw, and Lw stamping instead of degree #'s remains to be one of my favorite equipment details

The utility 3 iron is a good jump up from the U500, feels and looks much better to me.

[GMN_02]

Interesting that he has $-Taper HT in what appears to be 4i-9i but then goes with the standard $-Taper in 3i and PW.

[Sjewell94]

Any indication if he's going with the 7-wood or the 3i? Assuming those are the two he's deciding between

[TLUBulldogGolf]

Interesting to see he transitions to T100 at 5 iron and plays a matching shaft in the 3 iron, seems like a lot go to graphite so they can really hammer it. I don't feel the same control as my irons with graphite in mine, curious about matching my irons or going with something more in between like an MMT.

LW grip is right ontop the shaft label. Is that normal?

Agreed!

I assumed this was b/c of the whole 8iron into wedge thing, which makes for a large butt trim.

I wish you could order them like that.

This is probably correct. I do this with my wedges as well and the modus badging is covered by my grip on my LW

What I find interesting is not only does he go from MB to T100 in 6 to 5 iron, but T100 to T100S in 5-4 iron and then to T200 in the 3 iron. I wonder what they tweeted to get the gaps right from 6-3 iron.

 

Became a fan after watching him hit the different Titleist irons when they came out

The T100 and 620MB are the same lofts from 5i up so I doubt much if anything needed to be done for the 6i -> 5i change. The T100S in the 4-i would only need to be weakened 1-2* to fit the loft gap, but he may not have even wanted that is the 4i is meant to hit a specific, longer number. Personally I love the idea of shifting the top of the iron range like this, it makes the most practical sense. 

[BladedWedgeShots]

Any idea why his T200 has a small hole drilled and plugged in the back?

Titleist has a version for the tour guys with a hotmelt port in the back for weighting purposes. 

[nova6868]

Keep thinking about this shaft, I think KBS should release it. Perfect weight for wedges. Also I'm guessing the "HT" designation means "heavy tip", a little stiffer tip just like the $-Taper HT.

One of my favorite WITB's.... love the different iron models as he fills the top of the bag. That is an area I have struggled with (seems like most do). Using nearly the whole lineup is cool!

 

Also the wedges obviously 🤤

agreed, the more I look at this WITB the more awesome it becomes

Just wish it wasnt all Titleist. He's put together an awesome bag with what he has to work with from their lines. I can only imagine if he was a free agent.

I agree. Personally, I like slightly larger yardage gaps. ,

1000% agree.  I have 5 wedges so I lose a club at the top end of my bag, so I'm trying to go stronger 5i (powerspec G425) and then stronger 6i and 7i lofts, then standard, so if anything I have a bigger gap between my 6i and 5i, but by the time I hit the 5i distance I'm just  trying to hit a green.

[TLUBulldogGolf]

Love this bag, Homa is getting sneaky long, doesn't look like he's even swinging that hard.

I can't imagine they'd weaken the T100s 4Iron loft since it was configured stronger so as to be different from the T100. I can only imagine the T100s 4iron fit exactly the distance gap between the T100 5iron and the stronger lofted T200 3iron (and did I catch the 3iron had a graphite shaft?- vs his black steel shafts? Might be mistaken) Anyway - it sure is interesting to see 4 models in his irons - 5 if you count wedges. (I also thought I saw that the 3 iron was not showing up in some WITB lists)
