My equipment king, Hideki, is back in the winner circle. And while I’m always talking about his putters, the clubs themselves might be even better. These are Hideki’s MVP clubs from the Hero World Challenge. Starting with what I think is the most underrated driver on the market right now, the Shrixon ZXILS, a 9° set on standard and flat. But of course, Adeki does not just get some stock off the rack garbage. No, he is a prototype tourisssue T251 model. And what I find hilarious about this is that Tailor Made and Callaway are always getting on for having extra tourissue heads. Shrixon makes seven LS heads alone. These six don’t even include the standard model or the SLS models. This is a Deckis right here. You can really see its differences in the shaping, in the waiting. It looks like this one’s a little bit smaller. Obviously trying to find specific characteristics for certain players. We don’t know exactly what T251 stands for, but when compared to the standard LS model, what you’re going to notice is that the sole kind of curls up here in the back. Usually that’s done for aerodynamics. I’m guessing for Hideki, it’s done so it sits a certain way or looks a little bit deeper at a dress. And of course, Hideki pairs this thing with a shaft that is now over 15 years old, a graphite design to add ADDI ATX. This is a great example of finding a profile you like and using weight and flex to make it do what you want. Hideki is a drawer of the golf ball. He does not like to see it go right. Now, normally people who want to see the golf ball turn over are going to be better in a white board because it’s stiffer. It’s going to droop less. It’s going to make it easier to draw. But Hideki likes this profile. A little bit softer middle, stiffer tip section. So, he goes to an ATX. And this way, he can pair it with an LS head, a little bit more fade bias, and a flatter setting and still make a draw. Then we jump to a club which has turned into one of Hideki’s most trusted over the last few years. a Cobra Radspeed Tour 51 17 1/2 degree and 19 with a tour only graphite design to add 80DI 10TX and a little bit of lead tape right underneath the hoszle. On the surface, his irons just look like standard Trixon ZForge 2Os, though they are anything but. First up, the soles are not a standard Trixon Vole. His just have a flat sole on them, although they still have the heel and toe notches and a little bit of trail edge relief. I have been begging Shrixon to release these. I hope we get them at some point. And also when you look at the muscle pad in these heads, it’s actually very high in the head. It’s not lower like these standard ZForge 2. The reason he would do this, my guess is he plays softer iron shafts, dynamical tourists S400s. Pairing it with a higher muscle pad probably helps him hit the launch window he’s looking for. Into the wedges, which are a variant of what I think is the greatest wedge of all time. A forged prototype of the Cleveland RTX4 48 and 48, 52 and 52 1/2, and a 56 and 57 1/2 again with the S400s. And don’t get me wrong, these are glorious on their own, but the greatest club in his bag stands alone right here. It is the same RTX4 forged 60 and 62 with the TEG grind. The greatest wedge of all time with the greatest grind of all time. Can somebody please step up and dox a decki so I can just go to his house and take one because there’s no other way I’m going to be able to attain this and it’s going to be the death of

  1. Blah blah blah…where are the rest of your custom made TEJ irons? Why are you making us wait?!?!?!?

  2. All companies should adopt the TEJ grind and thy should all call it the TEJ grind and pay you royalties.

  3. Your equipment knowledge is too vast for all these short clips you publish. All us golf nerds out here live in the rabbit holes of golf geekism. Spill the tea my man, make some longer videos.

  4. Are you sure he’s in S4’s in his wedges? He used to be S4’s in his irons and X100’s in his wedges. Yes… backwards from most.
