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.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

I love the one randomly shafted graphite wedge shaft

Arm Locks now have the big bend shaft that adds the loft. That way production at Bettinardi is standard 3*.
Also that Atmos is a “Tour Spec” 6s. Tour Spec is essentially X for us mortals. But since there isn’t a standard on flexes what Fuji says is S could be X for another brand or even line.
I am interested on when he switched from the Steel Fibers. Believe he played 95’s so little bump in weight.

True Temper in his Irons? Did he had the Steelfiber in the irons in the year(s) before?
Steve Sandy
Nov 12, 2018 at 12:37 pm
He just switched to the TT 105’s, he likes a soft flex in his irons. Some good looks of the shaft bands here. Still using the Aerofiber shaft in short clubs. Interesting bag and swing, Kuch is a throwback.

Interesting that he uses X flex in driver but S300s in his irons
Scheiss
Nov 11, 2018 at 11:13 pm
It says S flex in the driver, can you read?
TacklingDummy
Nov 12, 2018 at 12:13 am
It is odd, but it looks like it is only X flex in his 3-wood and hybrids.

Those new Cleveland wedges are starting in show up in more PGA bags. Need to check them out.

The RTX-3’s were a miss in my opinion the size and shape were large and awkward looking didn’t care for them much, but these RTX-4’s are a nice size and shape. Just beautiful and they perform!

70 degrees of loft on his putter, eh? That’s pretty sweet.

Nov 11, 2018 at 5:54 pm
20* Hybrid to a 5 iron?
Gator022
Nov 11, 2018 at 7:26 pm
Would love to know the actual loft progression here. He’s definitely bent some things to make it flow for him. Likely 62 57 52 47 maybe? Then some bending at the top too to close that hybrid to 5 iron gap.
Gunter Eisenberg
Nov 11, 2018 at 9:54 pm
No. That’s the lie angle…loft is actually 3 deg.

Nov 12, 2018 at 2:07 pm
I own that Anser 20. It’s short. That’s just a 4-iron these days… plays like a 22.
