I thought this dude had like 3 hybrids in the bag and that was his thing. Did one get taken out for a 5i?

Lots of interesting stuff here.  Love the 913FD with the old school UST VTS, don't see too many pre 915 woods left on tour.  5X in a TR black is also pretty interesting.

Yeah his 24* hybrid famously had a heavy steel shaft as well. Seems like he’s dropped the 20* Graphite and 24* Steel for a larger 24* with graphite, likely gets higher launch and lower spin with the TSR hybrid so it reduced the need for the 20*? Not sure, makes sense to me though given that the 5i is also back.

Even with the putter this is only 13 clubs. The 50 GW must be in there too or there is another hybrid missing.

Anyone know how to build that broomstick jailbird?

His bag makes a right hand turn at that 6 iron! Goes from “I need a little more pop” to “FU I play blades” real quick.

I think the assumptions are accurate. He used to have a 5.5 iron and dropped a 6 iron in favor of 2 woods and 2 hybrids. Still love his bag though!

If my googling is correct the Titleist 680's are from 2003!?  Are there any more players that use 20+ year old clubs that aren't putters?

Probably reduced the gap between his longest iron and hybrid quite a bit and now has pretty a normal gap, since the hybrid is only 1*, maybe 2*, stronger than his T150 5i. I bet he can control distance/flight pretty well with his 5wood to manage the gap with the hybrid. I would assume the gap with his former 6iron and hybrid was pretty big

Considering ditching the 4iron for this setup myself tbh

From what I remember, he had the 5i stamped with a 5.5i when he had the steel shafted hybrid, so probably just figuring out how to gap things.  After seeing him do it I ended up pulling my 5i, bent my 6i 2* strong and my 7i 1* strong, so I go 19* hybrid, 4i, 5.5i stamped 6 and then down.  It's a great way to fit an extra wedge in my bag.
