Matt Kuchar WITB: 2103 Northern Trust Open

[GolfWRX]

[foggedz]

Interesting to see the light weight shafts in the driver and 3 wood. I wounder if his putter/shaft has got a special bend to it to compinsate for the big forward rake from the grip.

[Waterboy]

Cool pics. Nice variety in the bag.

Does anyone know if he is technically now on Bettinardi staff? I saw them tweet out his name, which I always considered some sort of an endorsement.

[scratchswinger]

Love the irons and the Vokey 62°

[wolfpack]

Seems the trend is 10-15-20 at the top of a lot of tour players bags. Kuch is an awesome golfer, I can't get over how he hovers 3 inches over a shot then goes for it.

He had a SeeMore and a Rife in his bag that he asked me not to shoot. He also was talking with the Rife Tour Rep about having some putters made

Cool pics! Can't believe he's using 50g stiff shafts in his driver.

[jameslee949]

I say it all the time but those J40 CB irons are amazing! Don't see myself changing iron sets for a long time. Good job on Bridgestone on getting that set so perfect.

Did he have a YES putter in the bag? A YES rep told me Kuchar has a YES putter he travels with that could "go in the bag at any moment".

[JonBon]

Great variety in the bag. That 62 deg. Vokey is a nice addition to any bag.

Agreed. Top notch irons from Bridgestone the past couple years.

That is what I thought until I hit that shaft two years ago. I still love it.

Those are both Drivers....the three wood shown has a DI7, not that light.

Look further down thru the photos and you'll see a Ping 3 wood

The Adams & Matrix Reps had his 3 wd & hybrid to spec them out so they could build Matt some new Adams stuff to try

Yea, I saw that and attempted to correct myself and screwed that up also.

[Dave Feldman]

Great pictures. Thank you.

Very interesting to see his light shafts, especially th 50gm driver. Would think that would not be heavy enough for a pro.

Bridgestone had nothing to do with his set make up...other than the obvious heads.

[ZJohnson]

Also, look for him to have a GTech colored Tour Proto(Tour Z) shaft in his driver in the near future...

KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH!
nice pictures!

Ping anser hybrid must be good if he and sneds are uisng it.

Looks like iomic grips. they seem like they are getting more popular on tour.

Those two guys have a lot of similarities in their bags - J40s with Steelfibers, S400s in the wedges, Anser hybrid/fw. It's really interesting to me because they have really different swings and playing styles (Sneds - compact/upright and quick, Kuch - loose/flat and deliberate). Also, it just goes to show you how one club can fit a variety of players and how two very different swings can get the job done on the course.

[Birdies&Eagles]

Kuch has won over $450K in 3 events this year while using his Bettinardi, I think he is putting pretty well with it

The Accra Tour Proto in 55 and 65 grams are some of the stiffest tipped lighter weight shafts you'll find out there. I have a M4-65 tipped an inch and it felt as stiff as my Ahina 70X tipped 0.5", maybe more.

What I thought was interesting was that he had both a Fubuki Alpha and the Accra, almost opposite ends of the spectrum. But with his tempo, he could play practically anything and make it work.

Thanks, i wonder why the oems do not build his clubs?

[Lacey Underall]

Cannot believe how many pros are playing sub 60 gram driver shafts these days. Seems like they would lose a lot of control. Seeing lots of Ping Anser fairways and hybrids in tour bags.
