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.

- 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 idea of tour players (and their caddies) carrying “everyman” bags. Staff bags are fun advertisements, but they are missing a huge swath of the market they are courting by not showcasing their carry lines on the tournament circuit. I saw Ernie Els’ caddie carrying a stand bag at Crooked Stick for the BMW Championship and it just made so much more sense when I looked at it…and as it stood on its own [legs], I could see the adverts and the make of the bag clearly. The big brands democratize every other part of their lines (clubs, balls, clothes, etc…), but the big miss is the bags. Heck – I wouldn’t even mind seeing ClicGear in the mix out there. I know traditionalists would throw a fit, but the pushers make as much sense as the double strap on a bag (I tried my first backpack strapped bag while playing in college 25 years ago and it was an epiphany…saved my back too). I’m glad to see this might be a thing.

I had the Players 2017/18 model and was always wondering if the straps will hold up over the years. Eventually sold it and moved to a Stuff bag. I see they have new strap buckles which makes me think the old system did not hold up
