Gotta love the “told ya so” guy! 😂 Good job ash! 👏🏼 

[fred faldo]

do his irons have a different sole grind then the retail version?

[newportbeach]

Love the Scotty. And a great win for him. Good to see him recover from the health challenges he faced from his accident.

I predicted he would win at 10 under after the first round and I was sooo close.  I won my bets with my cousin and brother.  A whopping 40 bucks combined, lol.

Will we ever see these tour rack wedges to buy?

[naj959]

Think the win will boost interest in the MKII despite the wayward tee shots. It looks really good!

[Fuscinator]

Any other Longmire fans think Brooks is kinda like Branch?

[R_Swanson]

Article on the front page mentions 38.25" 4 iron - are all his irons 1/4" under standard?

Are his iron lofts the same as on the Srixon website?

[R_Swanson]

I have no idea @gvogel

[Chopper Dave]

Two pages in and nobody has mentioned the fairway ferrule

[The Ultimate Hack]

He plays his irons an -1/4 under?

I saw Brooks at a grocery store in Rochester yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a ****** and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I believe that was the cut length, so with grip added they are playing standard. I could be mistaken though

real interest or just another snide comment on WRX?

 

Hate to ruin any Brooksy fantasy you have 😉 

[ashpga]

I met him and Chase last summer before the LIV Bedminster - he was a super nice guy and took the time to take a photo.

actually interested. 

 

i figure anyone who says “i just know…” has to have some firsthand experience with what they’re talking about.

Pretty shocked to see him move away from his button back but he rolled this one well all week. Such a threat every major.

I was also surprised, based on them both being a terylium insert I'm guessing the feel is very similar, however I have not gotten to test out circle t putters and the variety of inserts they offer

Looks like it was to try a superstroke and not mess up the 4x winning BB. Pictures show it as a default scotty grip now though.

As a self professed Brooks super fan (on the course at least). He has been in this T22 style putter for at least 1.5-2 years. 
 

I do believe the poster who commented about the Superstroke grip “test” is correct and he did not want to touch the already major winning T10.

 

I’ve noticed he has (atleast) 2 of the T22 putter like he used to win last weekend as one has his initials stamped and the other does not. I happened to be following BK at his last Tour Championship when he hurt his wrist. Jeff Pierce his putting and sometimes short game coach was out there and I asked him about it. He said they are identical except for weight depending on what feel was working best for him.

 

As a lefty I have the NP2 Champions Choice and recently got the putter of a lifetime (I hope 😂) in a Timeless Button Back from the Gallery. The insert definitely feels similar it is only a subtle difference in face milling that i’ve been noticing.

Thanks for the insight!

According to the main page Koepkas 4 iron is -1/4 under. 
 

Is it just the 4 iron or is it all of his irons?

 

Ive now learned srixons irons do come a little long compared to other manufacturers.
