Brandt Snedeker WITB

[TML]

just put the J40s in my bag, and I have to admit, they are some great feeling irons.

Love his putter. Just my teacher's putter, all banged up, no putter cover, but the Indian is the only thing that matters. My teacher can straight out putt and he's improving my putting as well.

[Jack lives here]

Well guys I went to the bay and bought a Rossie for $27. Let me say I now know why Sneds uses it. Kicked the Betti to the curb.
I was a big Rory fan, still am, but dare I say it I don't like what's in his bag for 2013.
I now want Sneds to be number 1.
It is a real pity about the rib injury, or Sneds could be close to the number 1 spot already!
Go Sneds go!!!

LOVE IT!

I don't think that Rossie has seen a headcover since he found it in the bargain bin.

I have framed the pic of Sned's bag and will look at it any time I am tempted to replace my equiment.

Actually I recall the Sned/s does use a cover on the Rossie - but it may have come to the putter "late in life." [b]Haven't checked on when the White Hot XG model came to market, but I recall Sneds saying on The Morning Drive that he has been using this model (maybe just the Rossie) since high school.[/b] He seems to be one of the most genuine guys on tour. (Still think Sneds and GMac have been the best - most interesting and articulate - pro-hosts on The Moring Drive that I can remember.) At the moment, between Kuch and Sneds, B-Stone wins the "Family Circle" award for their players.

The original White Hot was released in 2000 and the White Hot XG in 2006 so he must have been playing the Dual Force when he was in high school.

[ZBigStick]

It appears that he has switched to Diamana Kai'ali in the 3 wood and Aldila Tour Blue in the hybrid. Although with a couple loose hybrids today we'll see how long that shaft lasts. I was rooting for him, he almost seemed over powered by J. Day, Angel and A. Scott in the rain.

[bobcat]

Really surprised that he is playing just a Stiff Flex in those Aerotech SteelFiber graphite iron shafts, especially sincehe plays X-Stiff in everything else.

Wondering if those are the 110 or 125 gram shafts...Anyone know?

[wolfpack]

I think he and Kuchar both play the i95

[KCCO]

Sneds and Lehman must have been at same yard sale.... I love it.....goes to show, as a previous post said his just makes you wanna get off the corner and stop ho'ing and practice. Seen a few bags like this, and for some reason they are the most intimidating bags you don't wanna be matched up with. Usually a player who knows literally what works best for him. So a lesson to us, get what works, and practice.

Steelfiber i95 = 95 grams.

Very interesting that Snedeker chose one of the lighter of the ligher weights in the Aerotech i95 series when these shafts are also made in 110 gram and 125 grams weights. The heavier ones would seem to be be better replacements for .355 steel shafts. Even more surprised that it was posted that Snedeker supposedly plays S-Flex and not an X-Flex in those iron shfats. (He does play X-Flex in his other clubs.). Seems a bit of an odd shaft choice, (both weight and flex), which makes me wonder if the WITB is really correct.

What? Aren't those called i110 and i125? Here are the specs: [url="http://www.aerotechgolfshafts.com/pdf/products/2010-SteelFiber-Iron-Shaft-Spec-Sheet-091201.pdf"]http://www.aerotechg...heet-091201.pdf[/url]

I don't see any i95's in 110 and 125 grams. There have plenty of close up pictures of his i95 iron shafts. Not sure if you've hit these but they do play stiff to flex. Kuchar also plays these in stiff flex. I'm not sure if its really that surprising as there are plenty of guys out there playing X flex woods and S flex iron shafts. Both of those guys aren't exactly high speed guys... both sub 165 ball speed with the driver which is the bottom third on tour. Either way, they're both playing damn good golf and the specs for his clubs are definitely correct based on the pictures that have been posted here.

Thanks for clarifying this...I really appreciate it! The i95's may be worth a try for me! I can always play them at a longer length to get the swingweight up to where it was with the DG steel shafts.

[ZJohnson]

His irons are Kuchar's old ones. The guy literally snoops through Kuch's bag every time he sees him.

[PINGman4life]

Could have swore I saw him using a Diamana Kai'li in his 3 wood on 13 at the Masters. Sweet bag though

Saw that also, I had a kal li, looked to me more like the new D+ series , flat paint.

Have to send up the bat signal to Greg for a request of a shaft shot

[t_m_harris]

Watching The Open Championship coverage today noticed Brandt's driving iron in play, anyone know what it is?
Looks to have the classic UST V2 in it as well.

Is that a Flihi? Nice spot JW

[buckI]

It is some kind of Mizuno. You can see the white MP if you zoom in.

Anyone know what grip he uses on his putter?

Never going to happen with any of us here haha....

TaylorMade SLDR rounds 1 - 3. Old reliable TaylorMade Burner Superfast for round 4. Interesting.

[is1ander]

J40 CB and Steelfiber 95S has won 4 times this year! Steelfiber shafts seem like a game changer. I need to try them out.

He said he was able to hit it long but not straight enough, so he switched back to his trusty Burner.

[TheMoneyShot]

They said on TGC that he switched back to the SLDR this week. It's a different loft though supposedly.

I waggled it Monday... it was a 10.5 head set one lower, Fujikura Fuel 2.0X tipped 1" at 45.5"....

Did you waggle it like Sneedeker? Slam it on the ground and take an aggressive waggle?

[PowderedToastMan]

One of the best players in the world playing a sub-100 gram stiff flex iron shaft... Something tells me that's not what the Mizuno shaft optimizer told him he should play. How can he sleep at night?!
