Bryson DeChambeau reveals the unique weight distribution in his new ‘mystery’ LA Golf irons

Over the past few weeks, speculation has grown over Bryson DeChambeau’s new ‘mystery’ LA Golf irons that he has been spotted with in 2025 but yet to put in play in a tournament.

Now in a recent video with Garrett Clark from Good Good, DeChambeau not only showcased his new irons, but also gave a fascinating breakdown of the clubs which feature a very unique weight distribution concept.

Within the video, Bryson explains how he essentially wanted a better COG (Center of Gravity) location for the entire club and not just the clubhead.

In Bryson’s words from the video (which you can watch below, he starts discussing the new irons at around the 11th minute mark).

“There’s about a 100 grams of Tungsten weight in the toe. So this is just a different design, it’s hollowed out on the heel, weight on the toe, to offset the heaviness of the shaft and the grip.

“So moved the COG back to the middle. So when they take the head off the COG is right in the middle of the face, they build it for that. But then you have to attach a shaft and a grip and it moves the COG to the heel. So we’ve offset that with the weight, we’ve moved it back towards the toe. So now the center is now dead in the middle.”

Bryson then demonstrates while hanging the club, saying:

“So when you hang it and you start touching the middle of the face, tapping the middle of the face, the face doesn’t open. But when you hit the toe, that opens. And the heel closes it (when you tap it). So now it’s dead in the middle, and if you have another iron the COG will be more towards the heel.

“It depends on how much weight is in the shaft and the grip. There’s a lot of weight, that’s why I have to have so much over here. But it’s just a cool design iteration.”

Here’s what some of our members have been saying regarding the concept, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

ChaosTheory: “He’s trying to make it so that the center of the face is much closer in line with the COG of the finished club than ever before. On one hand it makes sense. OTOH, golf physics nerds used to say the head should be treated as if it were on a string, not a shaft. That always bugged me, because of course the shaft and grip have weight. And that weight is a factor in the collision with the ball. It probably won’t go anywhere but we shall see.”
WristySwing: “Seems like a really cool idea. I cannot imagine these would be cheap (if they ever make it to mass production). I know BD gets a lot of heat because of his weird tendencies, but most of the crap he says when it comes to fitting and clubs makes a lot of sense. It is just really difficult to implement.”
adamwon84: “I saw the video and the idea is pretty interesting. I wouldn’t mind giving these a swing, the idea behind them sounds great but you never know if it will actually work out in person.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

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.
