Bubba Watson has a new, unique Ping putter in the bag that he’s won twice with so far in 2018. What’s so special about this putter? To figure that out, Brian Knudson and Andrew Tursky of Two Guys Talkin’ Golf (TG2) spoke with Ping’s VP of Sports Development, Chance Cozby. He explains exactly how the putter was made and how it found its way into Bubba’s bag. Cozby also dishes on Bubba’s one-of-a-kind golf clubs.

Better ball striking and a better ball, no doubt. And the putter did what? Takes too long to listen.

Would have been nice to read the interview. Reading will be a lost art in 20 years.

I’m gonna buy a custom machined putter cause that’s the only way to go.

  100% true, changed balls and he started shaping shots like he use to. The putting definitely improved though.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
