Hey, welcome back to Golf the Bureau X’s Winning What’s in the Bag where this week we’re going to take a look at Xander Schoffley’s win from the 2025 Bay Current Classic. So, this is one t held over in Japan there. Xander Shoffley kind of breaks a little bit of a drought uh winning drought with a a big win. So, congratulations to him. Awesome to see him back in the winner circle, especially after, you know, what was kind of a USA’s disappointing Ryder Cup. Good to see him bounce back and play really well. So, we’re going to jump into his bag. you know, he is a Callaway staff member, so majority of what’s in the bag is Callaway. And of course, we’re going to start at the top. And driver is going to be the Callaway Paradigm AI Smoke Triple Diamond. So, yes, this is the previous uh version Driver before the Elite. Uh, personally me, I think that the Triple Diamond, the AI Smoke version uh comes in and it’s a little more fade bias than the Elite. I feel like the Elitees a little more neutral, a little bit just some more center start line where the Paradigm uh AI Smoke Paradigm Triple Diamond was a little more right starting start line, a little bit more fade bias uh compared to the the current one in the Elite. So, still a really good driver. Uh really low spin, low launching lower launching head. Uh built for a little bit more of a more skilled player. Now, this one here is playing uh it’s a 10.5 degree head and it’s actually lofted at 10.2 or digitally lofted at 10.2. Uh, and the huzzle on this one is set to NS, which is the standard. So, uh, stated uh, stated loft 10.5, which is measured at 10.2, and then neutral lie angle. So, the standard lie angle uh, on that driver. It’s got two movable weights, one in the back, one in the front. You can uh, kind of adjust these for swing weight and also take a heavier weight, move it forward, lowers the launch, lowers the spin a little bit, move it back, kind of raises spin a little bit, add some forgiveness. Uh, he’s got a 7 g in the front and an 8 g in the back. So, pretty equal there. uh in terms of of of uh of weight. The back one is slightly heavier, but really it’s one gram. It’s not a massive massive difference. So, the shaft on this driver is a Mitsubishi Diamana PD70TX. Now, the PD was the previous generation of the Diamana, and this was the lowest launching, lowest spin, lowest spinning version in that lineup when it came out. Uh it’s a kind of a medium handle stiffness. Uh a little bit firmer mid and tip section uh for that feel. Still low low spin, low launch. comes in at 76 g and 2.7° of torque. Now, he plays this at 45 1/2 in long, and he’s got this tipped 1 in in his driver. So, the swing weight on this one, D1.7. Then, we move on to 3-wood. And 3-wood is going to be a Callaway Elite Triple Diamond HL. So, this 3-wood here is the 16 1/2 degree version. And this has the bonded huzzle on it. I know a lot of the Elites when you see them out there, they’ve got the interchange or the adjustable huzzle where you can kind of change a loft, change a line angle. This is a bonded hoszle version uh which is kind of like the retail one uh you know that’s out there. Uh but its actual loft is 14.7 degrees. This is a little bit stronger on there. I don’t know if it’s bent to that cuz on the tour trucks they can bend bonded hoszles. They have the correct machinery to do it. Uh they has this bent or it’s just one that they basically handp pick out of the batch that is a little bit lower lofted. This one again uh has a little bit move uh uh single weight pushed a little bit forward near the face, lower spinning, a little bit flatter launch. Uh even though it is a high launch model compared to the standard Elite uh HL 3-wood. So comes out a little flat or a little bit flatter. Also has the black uh painted top on it. It doesn’t have like the visible carbon uh top on the uh the top of the driver. So or the 3-wood. Now this one is shafted up with a matching matching Mitsubishi Diamana PD80TX. So, the 80 g range version, 84 g, 2.9 degrees of torque. Again, low launch, low spin. Uh, this one he plays at 42 1/2 in long, so a little bit shorter. Uh, and he tips this one 1/2 in. Uh, with again a day a swing weight of D1.7. The next club in this bag is going to be the Callaway Apex UW. Now, this is the 2021 model, so the older one. I know this is the OG, as they call it. And, uh, it has a cult following, man. People just absolutely love this thing. It’s a blend of fairway wood and hybrid. a little mix of both. Uh it was originally kind of the step soul of the elite this Callaway had at first. Uh it was a prototype that was kind of developed with Phil when he was still with Callaway. Callaway back in the day. Uh but this thing here uh really neutral, a little bit lower launching. Uh it not it’s not, you know, crazy draws, not fadebys. It’s very straight, very neutral, a little bit flatter launch, but a and fast face on the thing was an absolute cannon. So it’s a 21 degree head, but the actual loft comes in at 19.7. Again, not sure if this is bent to that or if it’s just handpicked out of the the the bunch. When you go in the tour van, a lot of those heads, they’re handpicked. They’re digitally lofted, weighed, all that. So, they know all the specs. Uh so, this could be something that they just picked out at that loft. Maybe you wanted something a little bit stronger or they bent it uh to his uh his specs there. Uh now, this one here is shafted up with a Mitsubishi D Limited 90TX. Uh there’s a lot of kind. There was a D+ limited, D Limited, few different models. This is the D Limited 90TX. Now, this is a tour only part uh in the 90 g 90 weight 90 gram weight range. They only made up to an 80x uh for retail. So, this one here, tour only part, a little bit heavier to fit in this kind of 7wood hybrid spot uh in Xander’s bag. Uh so, it’s in that 90 g weight range, but I’m not sure what the actual weight is on it or the actual torque is on it because it just never was released. It’s not a spec that Mitsubishi offers to us. Now, this one here uh has kind of a medium uh plus uh uh stiffness in the handle, a firmer midsection, and then a uh medium plus tip section. So, a little bit firmer in the middle, a little bit softer in the handle and the tip, but it’s still low launch, low spin. Uh and he’s got this one playing at 40 and 3/4 in long, tipped one and a half in with a D3 swing weight. So, we move into irons, and his irons are the 2024 Callaway Apex TCB. This is the iron that I mean John Rom plays all these guys uh who play Callaway stuff or even some that don’t play on tour. Uh it’s actually a and he plays this four through 10 iron. Yes, instead of a pitching wedge, it does have a number 10 on the bottom, which is pretty cool. Uh I always thought that was kind of a cool thing that Callaway did with some of these players irons. And these are the raw heads. Uh but they’re a multi-piece construction. So they’re carbon steel, I believe 1025 body, then they have a stainless face that gets attached to it. And usually that’s done for ball speed. uh incre increase height, ball speed, forgiveness, all that. With the TCB, it’s done for a little different reason. It’s done to to create consistent spin throughout the bag. So, they kind of modify how fast that face is and the grooves and all that stuff to make sure that these things spin consistently throughout the bag, whether you’re out of the rough, out of a tight lie, anything like that. Uh and they’re extremely popular out on tour. So, they’re much smaller uh than some of the other irons. They’re a little bit closer to like the CB in terms of size. Uh and they do have just a touch of offset to them. pretty thin top line but really good irons. Uh his are the raw heads which are interesting cuz the backs and the hoszle and everything rust but the face doesn’t like the face stays you know stainless steel it doesn’t rust so it’s pretty interesting about how they look from a dress or how they look in the bag because only half of them rust which is pretty cool. Uh and these are shafted up with true temper dynamic gold tour X100s which I know we talk about literally every single week. uh but 130 grams kind of mid- low launch, mid- low spin. Uh and these things are weight sorted to half a gram tolerance. So half a gram heavier, half a gram lighter. Uh the 130 and that’s the biggest variance that True Temper allows for those iron shafts. Uh again, playing them four through pitching wedge or 4 through 10 iron. Uh he plays a standard length uh set, but he does play them one degree flat. And his seven iron is based off a 35 uh 35 degree 7 iron and a 47 almost 48. I think it’s 47.8 degree pitching wedge. So, a little bit weaker uh than traditional lofts out there nowadays. Now, moving to wedges and his wedges. Uh this first one here is going to be the gap wedge. It is the Callaway Opus SP. Uh and it is a 5210 S grind. Uh now, it’s bent to 53. So, a little bit weaker as we just said is pitching wedge a little bit weak. So, to match that gapping, probably bends a little weak. This is the brand new Opus SP1, the one that just came out. Uh I really like it. I think it it spins better. I think it feels and sounds better. Uh, but I also like that the the fact that in the gap wedge, it’s shaped a little bit differently than the standard OP. It’s a little bit sharper all around the toe, a little bit boxier. I think it blends better with the irons uh as opposed to the original Opus, which is a little bit more rounded. So, kind of an upgraded uh version of the Opus with some things that I think are needed. Uh, but he’s playing that in there. And then, of course, the 10S grind is great for full shots or square shots that you typically use a gap wedge for. Again, bent one degree weak 53, so it’s got an extra degree of uh bounce on it as well. and it is shafted up with the same shaft of his irons, the True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour issue X100. Now, the next two wedges in his bag are Titist uh Titleist Voki SM10s. So, the first one is going to be sand wedge and the sand wedge is a 5610s. Uh so, this one here bent again weak bent to 57. So, kind of a 57.11s. Uh but again, that S grind uh built there where it’s kind of got a fuller sole, little bit of trailing edge relief, so you can open it up. up. The leading edge doesn’t come crazy off the ground, but it still has a good amount of bounce for those fuller shots where you get a little steep, you try to hit it in there with some spin, or if you play it out of the trap, it has some float uh as it floats that kind of fluffier sand with that wider sole. But a great uh kind of versatile sole that I don’t think gets enough credit even though we see it on tour all all the time. Uh the S grind is really really good for hitting a variety of different shots around the grain. Then he has his uh he carries kind of two different glob wedges. Uh and on this one uh today I believe he is playing the 604 T grind. So the T grind is probably the most versatile kind of artistic wedge grind in the Titleist Voki lineup. Uh and it has a ton of heel toe and trailing edge relief. Uh the bounce is kind of pushed a little bit more towards center. Four degrees of bounce allows you to really open that face up. The leading edge stays down. You can really hit some high flop shots uh or higher launching shots on really tight firm lies. Uh, but when you play it square, it does play like it’s got a little bit more bounce than four degrees. I’ve hit this in a lot of conditions. I’ve been surprised how versatile it is. Uh, you first get a little bit scared of that four degrees on there, but once you hit it, you kind of understand that it plays really well when you’re playing it square and when you open it, uh, you can really throw it up there. So, if you’re a skilled wedge player and want something that you can really manipulate on the greens, hit a bunch of different shots at different heights and different windows, uh, the T grind is probably one of the most versatile in the SM10 lineup. Uh now this one is also bent one degree weak so it’s a 61 05 technically T. Uh but again a great wedge there if you’re a player who’s looking to kind of you know have a great creative short game. Uh now both of these also are shafted up with True Temper Dynamic Gold Touriss issue X100’s. So again 130 grams kind of you know mid- low launch mid low spin. Uh I know a lot of people want to go to the heavier shafts when they get into wedges but it just shows you that you don’t have to. you can definitely still play the matching iron shaft uh that you have in your irons into the wedges and it’s not going to affect anything. It’s not going to be a detrimental thing and honestly the feel is going to be really really similar especially as you start hitting those kind of 3/4 to fuller shots. It’s going to feel just like your irons. It’s going to have be a great transition uh from those into your wedges. So those are his wedges there. And then moving into putter and of course putter is always an interesting one for uh Xander and he has his Odyssey Tulon design Las Vegas prototype the 7CH. Uh now this is the of course red one uh that is out there and it was pretty cool when he because he originally had uh a red white hot uh red white hot putter uh that he played for a long time. Uh and then they built him a prototype that was uh all mil face all mil long but it was silver but he likes the red because he likes the red contrast against the green green. Uh so they basically built another one and painted it red. Uh and interesting enough they’ve also uh if you look at the top line of the face of it the red actually carries over onto the face. Uh, and this one here, it makes it look a lot like that original White Hot one because the White Hot has that insert and you see a little bit of red before you see the insert. So, there’s like a little line there. Uh, and I believe he likes the look of that thing there. So, they painted a little bit of red on the top line, so it looks a little bit similar. He also may use that for alignment. Uh, and speaking of alignment, he’s got three white alignment lines on there. One dead center on the top line and then two that run down the fangs. Uh, but a really cool putter uh there that he’s been using for a little while and it’s it’s kind of cool. I also think he likes the red, not only for contrast, but I think, you know, when he was a tailor made, I don’t remember exactly what putters he was using, but that was kind of when they were running some of those, uh, TP red putters back in the day. So, the move over to that could just be a comfort thing from a previous OEM contract. Uh, but this one here, uh, is again prototype. It’s got that diamond mil face on it. Uh, and this one here plays at 34 1/2 in long, 3° of loft, and 71.5° on the lie angle. So, the grip on this one is a Superstroke Xenergy Pistol 2.0. So, this is kind of the largest in the pistol group. It’s still not really big. Uh, it’s got a good shape to it. Has a little bit more arch in the upper hand. Uh, so it kind of kind of fits into the hand really well and kind of stays in position there. Um, but that is his putter. And then, uh, for grips on the rest of his set, he kind of switches it up. So, on his woods and irons, uh, he’s playing the new Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Align Max. Uh, so that’s the one that’s got the bigger ridge that runs on the underside that kind of fits in the pads of your fingers. Kind of helps remind you where the face angle is, reminds you to kind of grip it in the same spot and it just has a little different feel uh throughout the swing. So, he’s playing those in the Woods and Irons. Uh, and then for his wedges, he is playing the Callaway or Kelly the Golf Pride MCC Align uh in white and black. So, just the standard Align there. Um, that’s the one hybrid uh that has the firmer corded upper hand. Uh and then the lower hand is that white softer rubber for a little bit more feel and responsiveness. So playing two different sets uh or two different sets of of wedges throughout his set of clubs. Now finally is ball and this is the Callaway Chrome Tour Dot. So this is a tour only piece kind of a prototype as we call it. Uh and it is basically a lower launching version of the Chrome Tour. So uh the Chrome Tour you know Chrome Tour X Chrome Tour Triple Diamond. Uh this is basically taking a Chrome Tour and just lowering the launch a little bit. Spin profile should be fairly similar. Uh sometimes those things change just slightly when you lower launch. Uh but it should come out just a little bit lower there uh for Xander. So that is his set from winning the 2025 Bayurren Classic. Congratulations again to Xander on that win. And uh that’s all we got for this week. So check out next week and we’ll jump into the next winners. What’s in the bag?
