Bryson DeChambeau testing mysterious new irons at LIV South Africa

In our forums, our members have been discussing what looks like a change of irons for Bryson DeChambeau. WRXer ‘Cmat92’ was quick to spot Bryson playing what appears to be different irons (branding covered with lead tape) than his usual Avodo Protos (photos via social), saying:

“Looks like Bryson is trying something else in South Africa. I wonder if they could potentially be Bettinardi after him putting their wedges in play.

Will be interesting to see what comes of this.”

And our members have been weighing in with their thoughts in response.

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.

Pnwpingi210: “Looks like a Takomo.”
BD57: “Bryson’s a tinkerer. I think he’s always looking for “better” and convinces himself pretty easily that it’s out there. In other words, he’d fit in here very well.”
TheMoneyShot: “Wins last week and testing new irons this week. Gotta love it.”
adamwon84: “Interesting, I wonder if they are still curved face or if he moved on from that.”

I don’t remember asking the Doosh to care about my opinion. The PGA Tour and their non existent BS re-entry policies are weak! Add phony to your list of nonsense! One by one, all those rats will return without a real penalty. What about the players that remained loyal? I’m sure they are just giddy to have the thief, Patrick Reed on the tee with ’em. The Tour is soft allowing all the greed crew members back on board! It’s disgusting. Who’s next?

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.
