Brandt Snedeker shot a 69 on Sunday and finished 6-under in the Farmers Insurance Open tournament. This is his 8th career win on the PGA TOUR and comes just two weeks after his runner up finish in the Sony Open. So far 2016 has been a good year to be Brandt. Let’s take a look at some of the winning clubs he had in his bag.
The Top 6 Winning Clubs in Brandt’s Bag
Driver: Bridgestone JGR (Fujikura Speeder Evolution 661 X shaft), 9.5 degrees
Brandt Snedeker dumped his trusty 2010 vintage TaylorMade Superfast last February for the Bridgestone JGR driver. Its Power Milling face design is a series of micro-grooves milled onto the clubface, grabbing the ball and reducing spin. F.A.S.T. (Flex Action Speed Technology) Crown allows the crown to flex at impact giving a player increased ball speed and higher launch angle. Two weight ports (2 grams and 4 grams) toward the rear of the club deliver higher ball fight and increased MOI.
3-wood: Callaway X Hot (Aldila Tour Blue 75X shaft), 15 degrees
The Callaway X Hot 3-wood is a game-improvement fairway wood designed to hit easy from the fairway or the rough. Callaway created this club for higher launch angle and fast ball speed off of its Forged Speed Frame Face Cup. Made out of a stainless-steel casting, this Fairway Wood includes an Internal Standing Wave that lowers the CG and pushes the weight close to the clubface.
5-wood: Tour Stage X-FW (Fujikura Pro Tour Spec 83X shaft), 18 degrees
The Tour Stage X-FW’s profile and shape create a confidence-inspiring feel for above average golfers, and the 455 hyper strength steel body produce ultimate distance. Bridgestone has actually called the makeup “Ultimate Strong Metal.” The manufacturing of the club maintains high energy transfer while keeping its weight light for versatile playability.
Iron: Bridgestone J15CB (4-PW; Aerotech SteelFiber i95 S shafts)
The Bridgestone J15CB is a premium forged cavity back iron with a nice soft and shot feedback. A Wide Sure Contact Sole allows the club head to slide through the turf and make better contact with the ball. Its compact head provides tour control and shot shaping workability.
Wedge: Bridgestone J15* (52 and 56 degrees; True Temper Dynamic Gold S400 Tour Issue shafts)
Made out of premium forged carbon steel, the Bridgestone J15 has a tour preferred tear drop shape design. Its machine milled face increases surface roughness for added spin and its Sure Contact Sole ensures consistent contact and turf interaction from all lies. Channeling dirt and debris, aggressive conforming U-grooves create consistent ball to face contact. The club is heat treated to enhance its durability.
Putter: Odyssey White Hot XG Rossie
The Odyssey White Hot XG Rossie is a face-balanced mallet with a double-bend shaft and full-shaft offset. Guaranteed to have years of play, the putter has a stainless steel head with a polished satin nickel finish. A textured impact zone enhances feel and defines the sweetspot. And a White Hot insert delivers exceptional feel while distributing weight to the perimeter of the putterhead for increased MOI and forgiveness.
