We’ll get to the revealing photos this week from the Zurich Classic, but first…

Let me take a selfie #ZurichClassic.

Aside from embarrassing selfie shots, we have a great lineup of photos this week from the Zurich Classic at TPC Louisiana, including Starbucks-inspired wedges. If you missed all the photos from this week, click here.

Let’s get to it.

These wedges should come with a warning label

Joe Affrunti’s Titleist SM5 wedges are covered in lead tape, and his 60-degree only has 4 degrees of bounce. Super heavy with no bounce? Don’t try this at home.

Heath Slocum switched into the AccuLock ACE Tech Deck putter

Let’s see if he can get the half-pipe hot this week at the Zurich Classic. Click here if you don’t get the reference.

This Titleist rep is wearing really obscure hockey socks

They show the logo of the Colorado Rockies, which were originally the Kansas City Scouts in the mid 70s before becoming the Colorado Rockies. The team moved to East Rutherford, N.J. in 1982 and became the New Jersey Devils. Thumbs up right back at you for learnin’ me something.

h/t Thrills for logo identification

Chesson Hadley’s wedge is inspirational

“Be somebody” is a reference to his shouting order earlier this year at the Valero Texas Open.

Jordan Spieth, a fellow ball-yeller, surely appreciated Hadley’s effort. I’m also fairly certain “Baby Huggie” stamped on his 52-degree Titleist SM5 wedge is a baby diaper reference, but is yet to be confirmed.

Can you spot why this is a 1-of-1 putter?

It’s Chez Reavie’s “Scotty Camero” Tour Only putter. It’s missing an “n” — just had to point that out.

As always, we keep people smiling with GolfWRX poker chips

If you see photographer Greg Moore at a tour event, be sure to say hello and ask for a poker chip.

Ben Crane getting ready to shoot a POV video with a tee shot

And hopefully there’s enough memory to capture his entire pre-shot routine.

Jason Gore (sort of) followed Ian Poulter’s lead

Instead of high-end luxury vehicles, Gore stamped references to a 1987 Dodge Colt Premier and a Nissan Datsun 210.

Nick Taylor’s University of Washington Huskies head cover is winking at you

Either that or he’s missing an eye. Is this one of those Sarah McLachlan soul-crushing SPCA commercials?

We spotted Adagio’s new earbud headphones on the range

But surely the sound quality is better if you actually remove the packaging.

How’s that box sound, man?

Blayne Barber’s new Starbucks wedges just went on every coffee lovers’ wish-list

They were stamped by Aaron Dill, the man responsible for most of the grinds and stampings you’ll see on Vokey wedges on the PGA Tour. Well done, Aaron; the caffeine-crazed golfers among us appreciate it.

Also, a nice observation here from chotston in our forums.

Willy Mac’s TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 Tour 3-wood looks like it’s unfamiliar with a head cover

Or maybe it got scraped up during a Kayak accident in Montana?

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.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

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.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
