Think it’s one of the prototypes for the current UW if memory serves me correctly he was one of the early guys to test it and just kept using the Proto head.

by far the prettiest lead tape job on tour across the bag. OMG it's just so perfect

[Medson]

How many balls did he have to putt to get that wear mark?

[tilrifz]

Great looking bag, top to bottom.

Every time I see Akshay's WITB and see that UW, I get so envious of it... Callaway needs to release that color.

Just hit about 50 before the marker dries on your ball and make sure it’s lined up properly and you’ll get there on a white hot face (maybe not the center like him though).

Pretty hardcore bag.

 

The wearmark on the putter is ridiculous. Seems manufactured - but still - who wants to see that in a competitor's bag on the first tee?

 

The grind/finish on the DCBs is interesting as well. Were they trying to knock down the bounce - or is that just cosmetic?

[UnderPar18]

Love how he didn't just switch to Paradym just because it was new. He kept what he was comfortable with in the bag to secure his card.

What does a double green dot Callaway adapter mean?

It indicates ‘another Callaway tour product that isn’t available to you’.

Love the wear-spot on his putter.

Those putter “wear-spots” have started showing up much more frequently in the WITB threads… I’m convinced they are not made ‘organically’ and that the pros are just trolling WRXers. “Oh, they go nuts for the fw woods wear marks! Wait til they get a load of this!”. I’m thinkin a small piece of steel wool is the real culprit 😉

Or to copy Tigers real wear mark on his 25 yr old wand

I don't think it's a wear spot per se since the WH insert doesn't turn black if abraded, @ilikegolf26 is probably right in that he probably makes impact on his sharpie line and that's what's transferring onto the putterface. Willing to bet lots of pros would end up with a similar mark if they did that. Now, Tiger's wear spot on the stainless steel face is next-level IMO

Finally someone who gets it. It’s a damn sharpie.

Good looking bag, I think he's only the second guy I've seen using $-Tapers, Homa being the first. 

[soupbraaaa]

Love this bag

[Shilgy]

Interesting he Carrie’s both left handed and right handed clubs.🤣

[The bearded shanker]

The wear mark is disgusting

It’s a sharpie. He switches putters every 10 minutes

I think it is just to specify it is the LH version of the Green dot-strong.  I could be wrong but thought I heard that at one time. 

[BallerNate]

Love this bag…would game this in a second!!

 

Rooting for Akshay for sure, young player with a lot of potential!

Akshay is on a tear right now, so great to see.

Anyone know the weights he has in that putter head playing it at mid length like that?
