Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Jun 10, 2026

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.

Currently in the GolfWRX Classifieds, member 4rheel has a Scotty Cameron Xperimental GOLO 6.2 LTD putter and several premium shafts listed in a price-drop thread.

The GOLO 6.2 LTD is listed at 35 inches with the original headcover included, and the price has moved from $725 to $715 and then to $695. The seller describes it as being in great condition and used for only a handful of rounds.

Other notable items from the listing include:

Fujikura Speeder NX Green 70-S fairway shaft with a Callaway fairway tip, now listed at $125.
MCA Diamana PD 60 S-flex driver shaft with Titleist driver tip, now listed at $115.
MCA Tensei Orange AV Series 65 S-flex driver shaft with Titleist driver tip, now listed at $95.

@kennyfloyd sent payment for the tour-issued UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40x Blue 7F5 fairway shaft, and 4rheel later marked that LIN-Q shaft sold.

Are newer game-improvement irons worth the extra money? — GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, GolfWRX members are helping a higher-handicap player sort through the game-improvement iron category and the always-present question of whether a newer model is actually worth the added cost.
Member @PjG21 asked for opinions on Callaway Rogue ST irons versus TaylorMade Stealth irons, while also wondering whether spending more on newer models such as the TaylorMade Qi or Callaway Quantum line would be justified.

WRXers focused on fit, budget and realistic performance gaps:

@PJE said the sets are broadly comparable in segment, design and performance, and that the best value may come from choosing what fits the player’s eye and budget.
@PJE also suggested that newer models may not bring enough raw performance improvement to justify a much higher price.
·@dmeeksDC pushed the conversation toward fitting, noting that strong-lofted, multi-material game-improvement irons can produce different spin profiles and that a fitting can help clarify the right option.
@PjG21’s question also brought out the core WRX truth: in GI irons, the best deal is not always the newest head; it is the head that produces playable launch, spin and distance gaps.
