I'm always so impressed by the clean lead tape jobs a lot of these guys have. Can never get mine that clean.

 

Maybe i should try and find a thicker/wider roll.

Taking a mighty big risk using an Odyssey that isn't a jailbird...

Looks like every club in his bag is custom. 

 

It's an interesting to design on the UW with such a large toe. It is drastically different than the production model:

IIRC it was a proto. More fade biased - like the old sub zero fairway models.

Looking at where the lead tape is placed on the Driver, Akshay is giving Callaway engineers a huge middle finger. 🤣🤣🤣

Love those lead tape/blankets on the wedges but that's gotta be for more than just swing weighting, right?

That and the weight being higher up on the face of the club will effect feel.

Love that putter!!

Looks like someone took a grinder the leading edge of the 8 iron… or is that just a color thing with the finish?

I love how Callaway always has some mad lefty getting all the super cool prototype gear with gobs of lead tape.

Two different materials coming together.  Raw back of the club, chrome cup face on the front.

I think it is the difference in paint and being left handed throwing you off.

The toe of Akshay’s is drastically higher and different, lefty or not

I am not sure that it is. I think there optical illusion at play because there is nothing written on the face and the paint is absent from the sides..

His UW face reminds me of some old Adams products. 

[ilikegolf26]

Those are some big boy shafts for a skinny little guy! I’d like to know what his yardage gaps are between 5i—>22*UT—>19* Apex UW. The gap between my 5i and my 19* is around 40-45 yards so I’ve been carrying a 21*UT and 24*UT to fill the gap.  Would love to fill that gap with just one club so I could get the 3W back in the bag!

Retail SuperStroke putter grip? Never seen one cover most of the shaft before.

Bump:

 

Did Bhatia switch to a JB putter head?

He was in a youtube vid recently where he had a JB head on his broomstick putter. Looks like he's using the same thing this week

Right😂. I remember someone close to Cally saying that the new CBs would be in the majority of the bags on tour….

Well Akshay did have them in the bag for a min to be fair.

[Tree Levino]

Dude is going to be horrifying now that he has figured out how to putt 

[B_of_H]

maybe its just me but a soft 50 degree wedge shaft makes me nervous.  he must be playing a pretty low spin ball?  Wait, but he has a black 7x driver at 7 degrees?
