Welcome back to Golf Dubs winning what’s in the bag where this week we’re taking a look at Michael Brennan’s winning what’s in the bag from the 2025 Bank of Utah Championship. Interesting enough, this was Michael Brennan’s third start on the PGA Tour. He had just like what two months later or two months ago uh jumped onto the cornfairy tour. Uh so he is basically was on the PJ tour of Americas and jumped up to the corn ferry tour and now wins on the PGA tour. So congratulates to him. What an exciting like two months. uh what a run that he has been on. So very cool to see him win. He had a four-stroke win uh here out in Utah. And we’re going to jump into his bag now. He is a titleist staffer. So everything in this bag is going to be titleist. And we start at the top of course with driver. And he is playing the title GT3. So this is kind of the lower launching lower spinning driver in the GT lineup. Uh there is a GT4 that’s even more so, but the GT3 is kind of the the kind of the common one for most players who have a blend of spin control, launch control, and pretty neutral flight bias. Now, this one has a ton of adjustability to it. Uh, his has is a 9° head, and he is playing it in the B2 position on the Hoszle. So, the Sure Fit adapter is set to B2, which is the standard loft, which is 90°, but it is 75° upright. Uh, and going upright can kind of help with strike position, and it can promote a little bit more of a draw depending on what the player is using it for. And then his sole weight on his, the plate on the bottom, has an adjustable weight that you can go out towards the toe, down towards the heel, kind of set up the flight bias of the club. His is actually set to neutral. And the weight in there looks like it’s a copper weight. It’s hard to tell from the photos with the shadow and stuff like that. It looks like a copper weight, which is the 14 degree weight uh in there. It also could be white, which is, I believe, 6 g, but I think it’s 14 because he’s playing a Project X hazardous blue or hazardous smoke blue RDX 70TX. Now, the reason I say it’s probably 14 is because he’s playing a counterbalance shaft. Uh, so the Project Xhazard is smoke blue. The RDX one was a counterbalance shaft. I don’t think Project X makes it anymore, but it was kind of a low launch, low spin shaft, but counterbalance meaning it had more weight towards the butt end of the shaft. So, they kind of put more of the weight up there. And it can be used for two reasons. One, some players like to put a little more head weight into the head for that kind of feel or the fact that more mass in the head they feel like promotes better ball speed. or players like to play the shaft longer in their driver and in order to get swing rate right they the counterbalance shaft help kind of helps that kind of happen in the build shaft is kind of lower launch lower spinning uh it’s supposed to be kind of just a counterbalance version of hazardous smoke black RDX I think it launches just a little bit higher than that uh but it’s still a very stout shaft especially in the 70TX it’s got a pretty firm handle a little softer midsection and a stiff tip again and that kind of helps promote a little more ball speed a little more feel in it and it comes in at 75 g and 3.2° of torque. Now, with that counterbalance shaft, that’s what makes me think that he’s adding weight to the head to make it heavier. Uh, so I think he’s probably playing the 14 degree copper one, but I’m not 100% sure on that. Then we move into 3-wood, and his 3-wood is a titist. I’m going to call it GT1 prototype. Uh the GT1 of course is the high launching kind of higher spin, more forgiving head that Titus makes. But they did just come out with a GT13 tour which is geared a little bit more towards the bigger hitter, better player. But the GT1, I’m going to call it prototype because it doesn’t say 3our on it, but it is 14 1/2° which is what that GT13 Tour is. And what they did was that head was they kind of designed it to be a little bit lower spinning while still maintaining high launch. And of course, it has the two movable weights in the sole that you can move the heavy weight forward, back, split them up, really kind of adjust how you want the head to play. Now, the sole weights on Michael’s are 13 g forward weight and a 3 g rear weight. So, he is definitely taking uh that heavy weight, pushing it forward, which should reduce the spin, maybe reduce that launch a little bit. Uh, now the head is still a little bit on the bigger side. So, when you look down on it, the overall footprint is a little bit larger. face is slightly deeper than a traditional GT1, but this has been a super popular uh fairway would because it combines, you know, the ease of launch with that low spin, uh the ball speed, all that, and some added forgiveness. So, really good setup there. And the huzzle on this one is set to D1, which is minus.75° of loft, but a standard lie angle. Now, the shaft in this one is another counterbalance shaft, but it is the Project X hazardous Gen 5 yellow handcrafted in 80TX. So, the handcrafted moniker was a big thing that Project X had a long time ago. And there were shafts that were all hand rolled in their Carlsbad, California uh location. They brought that back just a few years ago with the T1100 and this new Gen 5 hazardous handcrafted yellow. Uh and this yellow is again a counterbalance version of the hazardous black that was out. So, the Gen 5 hazardous black. This is a counterbalance version. And again, very similar. It’s got a little more of a a tapered midsection that’s a hair softer. helps promote a little bit more ball speed and it concentrates more weight in the handle of the shaft. The handle and the tip still very stiff for control. And this is kind of a low midlaunch low spin shaft. Uh now this one here is a tour only part. The 80tx is never offered to us at retail. They do make a 70 but not an 80. So exact specs I’m not 100% sure of. It’s probably going to be around 85 g and probably torque and probably the the mid to high twos if I had to guess. Uh right around that. But the handcrafted once again rolled all in Carlsbad, California. Uh where the non-handcrafteds are rolled elsewhere. Uh either I believe by hand still, but elsewhere not in Carl’s bad. So that is the 3-wood. And then we move into his irons. And his first thing is we’ll call it a utility iron, but it’s a three iron for him. And it is a titleist T1 153 iron. This is the 2025 head, uh the brand new one that came out. And the T-150 is slightly bigger, a little bit hotter, and stronger lofted than the T100 irons. So, this can add a little bit of speed, a little bit of launch, and it has a maybe a hair lower spinning than the T100, but a little bit longer uh with having the same really kind of players distance profile from a dress. Still has a thin top line, very reduced offset, uh really players look to it while adding some added spin, you know, speed and launch uh that he might like in that utility iron. Now, this one shafted up with a Project X hazardous Gen 4 black hybrid in the 105TX. So, this is the super heavyweight, 105 g. It’s 1.9° of torque which is super low. And this is again low mid-launch, low spin shaft. Uh very stout, stiff feeling shaft, which is going to have kind of a lot of control to it. Very stable uh for higher swing speed players. Uh but that is a setup for three iron. And then we jump into his irons and it is again kind of a combo set. Titleless T100s in the four through 5 iron. So four and five iron titles T100 which again like the T-150 very similar design. It is kind of a players blade looking very thin top line, no offset, smaller than the T-150. But the T100 actually has kind of that lower channel is hollow and inside there are two tungsten weights that help add stability uh and consistency to that head. So internally there that is not a solid piece of metal that is actually put on later and there’s two weights in there. So uh a great feeling iron. uh really good look from a dress, but it has some great performance, especially on Niss hits and consistency. And when the the the new ones that are out, the 2025 models, they have actually updated the grooves on these as well, so they produce better spin retention from fairway to rough type lies. So, it’s going to maintain more spin, have more control going onto the green, but he’s playing those four through five iron, and those are shafted up with Project X.5 shafts. So, this is the OG Project X65. kind of initially a little bit higher of a launch but very flat low spin apex uh and very stout feel. But then the rest of his irons are the Titus 620 CBS and that is 6 through9 iron. So the 620 CB is a great CB. It’s been around since basically 2000 end of 2019. Uh and right now it doesn’t look like Titus has a new one to come out uh anytime really soon. And why would they? This had a ton of wins on tour. It’s an iron that’s played by a ton of really highly skilled players. very soft single piece forged. I believe the long irons have a little bit of tungsten out in the toe internally uh that you don’t see. It’s kind of finished into the head, but six through nine iron playing these. The blade lengths a little bit shorter from heel to toe. So, it’s got kind of a little bit of a stubbier look to it. Really good, great sounding, great feeling, very consistent in terms of uh shot for shot. When you hit it there, you know how far it’s going to go. There’s no, you know, speed built into the face, so you’re not worried about hot spots or anything like that. But playing those six through 9 iron and those also have project X 6.5s. These are 125 grams. Uh really stout kind of stiff feeling shaft. You don’t feel a lot of flex to them at like the top as you go to transition downward. There’s not a lot of loading of the shaft, not a lot of kick. It’s very boardy. But for higher speed players, it does offer a lot of stability. And again, lower spinning, not super low launch. Even though you go on their website, Project X, it’ll say low launch, low spin. I think they come off a little bit higher than that. Uh but again, that apex is kind of flat because they don’t spin a ton. Then we jump into wedges. Uh and his first wedge is going to be a pitching wedge replacement, which is the Titalist Voki SM10. And he’s playing the 46.10 F grind. So this is going to be the one that is going to replace the pitching wedge 46°. Uh it pretty much fits right in line with the 620CB. I wouldn’t be shocked if maybe that thing’s bent, maybe a little bit weak or something like that depending on how he plays the lofts on there. I don’t have his exact specs for this. Uh, but the F- Grind of course is a great full sole design. Has a little bit of camber to it, but great on full shots. Doesn’t dig. And this one here has the matching shaft of the irons, which is the Project X6.5. Again, 125 g, lowish, you know, low midlaunch, very low spin. The next wedge in his arsenal is a gap wedge, and it is a 50.12 F grind. And this is the high bounce version of the 50. And I seem like it’s funny. I think feel like we talk about more about the 50.12 F grind than we ever do about the 508 F grind. And it seems like a lot of these players out on tour are playing the higher bounce version. And I think because it matches sets pretty well. Typically pitching wedges uh can be anywhere from like you know 8 or 9° up to uh you know 10 12 stuff like that. So I think it matches really well. And with players probably using this more for full shots, they’re probably taking a little bit bigger divot and that F grind tends to get into the turf and want to get out quickly. keeping that duh that divot shallow, not digging too much in the turf. So that’s going to be the 5012F for the gap wedge. And then we move into Sand Wedge. And his Sand Wedge is a 54.10 S grind. Uh so the S grind, the big difference is that that trailing edge, you can see there’s kind of like a grind line there. They kind of grind off part of that trailing edge. Helps release it from the turf. So as you’re hitting shots, it gets in that fuller sole will of course, you know, want that that club to kind of shallow out, get out of the turf, and then as it’s leaving the turf, that trailing edge there will help release it. And then also if they open the face a little bit that uh that back edge being trimmed off will will keep that leading edge down just a little bit uh as they open the face allow them to hit the shots off tighter lies and things like that. Now his is bent to 55° so it is one weak so it’s kind of playing like a 55.11s. Not a huge difference there uh between them but those are the two uh gap and sand wedges. And then we get into his lob wedge. And his lob wedge is a titleist Vokei SM or Title Voki Wedge Works 60K Star Grind. So the Kstar Grind starts off kind of its life as a uh a K grind that is then kind of trimmed down. You can see there’s some trailing edge relief there. They kind of grind off the back there. And then the leading edge has kind of a pre-worn leading edge built into it as well. This is a little bit lower bounce bounce as well. Usually I believe these are right around six degrees of bounce. But that leading edge, the pre-warm leading edge one helps keep the leading edge down on tight lies so you can kind of get under the ball and get the strike more in center. And it also helps as that club enters the the turf. It kind of helps again shallow out that div a little bit. And then of course on that back end having that trailing trailing edge relief from the heel all the way to the back allows that player to open up the face, keep the leading edge low, hit some higher lofted more flop shots off tighter lies and things like that. That wider sole though still lets it play really well out of the trap. So a great grind, very versatile and we’ve seen it in a lot of bags uh as the year has progressed uh you know just seeing it added a lot of guys going from like what it seems T grind into K star. So uh a big change there. Now all three of these are shafted up with true temper dynamic gold tour S400 wedges uh wedge shafts. We talk about these every week of course 132 g kind of low midlaunch really traditional feel where you know you’ve got a kind of a stiff handle. gets a little softer in the mid, the tip, but still produces kind of a flatter ball flight, uh, but a little bit heavier for that feel in the bottom end of the bag. Now, putter for him is going to be a Scotty Cameron T7.2 prototype. Uh, it’s a circle T putter there that is kind of based off the retail Phantom 7.2 that we can buy in stores. Now, the Phantom 7.2 is, of course, the kind of fang looking, the triangular shaped uh, putter that has the plumbers’s neck on it or the L neck as they call it. And what that does is adds offset. And it’s interesting. I was uh just, you know, learned a little while ago that a lot of or certain pros will actually use that L neck as a little bit of alignment or that that one uh that’s front edge that kind of goes near the ball. It’s actually used for alignment as well. Uh but the offset there kind of changes the look and how that putter is delivered a little bit. This is a multimaterial head, so the whole body is stainless steel. And then that bottom plate is aluminum, allowing the engineers to kind of take some of that weight out of the bottom, move it out towards the edges, increase the MOI of the putter. And if you look on top of his, his has kind of a unique uh kind of sight line. It’s got these two kind of arrows that are on the top line uh that kind of point towards the ball. And then of course these single white lines that run down the fangs to kind of frame it. So a lot of alignment aids there on the top of it. And this one here looks to have a black stainless steel shaft and two 10 g weights in the sole. And the grip on this one looks to be a Scotty Cameron pistolaro grip on there. I can’t tell exactly and I’m not an exact perfect uh Scotty Cameron grip person, but it looks to be that grip. It’s got a little bit more arc in the upper hand. Uh and it has a pretty flat top on it that tapers down uh down near the end of the grip where it meets the shaft. Now for ball, uh Michael is playing the Titalist Prov1. Uh and of course the Prov1 is going to be the lower launching uh lower spinning ball compared to the Prov1X. It’s also going to be a little softer in feel. Not sure exactly what year he’s playing uh of that ball, but it is a Prov1. And then the grips on the rest of his clubs, of course, are the Golf Pride ZGrip cord. So, that is probably the firmst, roughest grip that Golf Pride makes. It’s got this uh cotton cord that actually runs through the grip, and it kind of helps with sweaty hands, moisture, anything like that. It’s just a really rough, tacky uh grip that the firmness gives a lot of feedback uh from, you know, ball strikes and things like that. But that corded uh texture gives it a lot of rough texture and helps it in those those wet conditions so it doesn’t slip or anything like that. So that is Michael Brennan’s winning what’s in the bag from the 2025 Bank of Utah Championship. Congratulations to him on his first PGA Tour win. It’s always exciting to get that and check back next week when we jump into the next winner’s what’s in the bag.
