Keegan’s Winning Bag
The Winning Bag (Dusek)
Here is Keegan Bradley’s equipment:
Driver – Cleveland UltraLite TL310 10.5° driver with a Miyazaki Kusala 61 shaft. The Miyazaki shafts have been a great hit with new technology that has allowed the shaft to become lighter yet maintain the stiffer flex required by tour professionals.
Fairway - Cleveland FL 14° fairway wood with a Miyazaki Kusala 83 shaft. The golf club is 30-grams lighter than most other fairway woods and therefore offers more clubhead speed.
Hybrids – Cleveland Launcher DST 18° with a Project X XHB6 shaft and a Cleveland Mashie TM3 20.5° with a Miyazaki C Kua 105 shaft.
Irons - Cleveland CG7 Tour irons (4-PW) with X-100 True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts. The tour issue shafts are slightly heavier and stiffer than regular issue.
Wedges - Cleveland CG14 with lofts of 52° and 58°, fitted with S-400 True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts. The CG14’s are in fact older wedges that have been brought back into the market – I like his personalized “Irish” addition to them.
The Magic Wand
Putter – Odyssey White Hot XG Sabretooth mid-length putter. Bradley is the first golfer to win a major with a long (belly or chest) putter.
Ball - Srixon Z-Star. Interestingly, four different ball brands won Majors in 2011.
Re your comment on the “Ball”
Just goes to show that while equipment helps the game, it’s the player who wins the tournament.
If the shaft in the driver an fairway metal are so state of the art, then why not used in the Hybrids????
Hi Graham,
The shafts in the hybrids are state of the art. I find it interesting that he does not have the same shaft in each of the two hybrids – perhaps he just likes them the way they are. The Miyazaki shafts are groundbreaking in that they are so light, yet are able to maintain an acceptable level of stiffness. They actually make a 39 gram shaft for a driver that can flex out very close to an X. You also might be referring to the weight of the shafts – as the clubs get shorter the weight of the shaft needs to go up in order to maintain a consistent swingweight. If you have the same shaft in your driver and three wood take a look at the weight of each shaft – bet the three wood is around 10 grams heavier.
Hope all is well.
