If a physics textbook hit the gym and picked up golf, you’d end up with someone like Bryson DeChambeau. He’s far from the usual PGA Tour player — more like a scientific experiment in motion. DeChambeau approaches the game with a carefully calculated strategy where every swing, club, and angle is planned like an engineering blueprint. He once boldly claimed Augusta National played as a “par 67” for him, a statement that didn’t age well after he opened with a double bogey and finished tied for 34th in 2020. However, with a T6 finish in 2024, he’s back with hopes of finally claiming a Masters win — and he’s counting on his gear as much as his game to get him there.
His Power Setup for the Long Game:
The backbone of his long game is the Krank Formula Fire Pro driver, featuring an ultra-low 6° loft, designed purely for maximum distance. This driver is paired with an LA Golf DeChambeau Series shaft, known for its extreme stiffness to handle his massive swing speeds. Together, they form a precision power combo that prioritizes distance and control.

When full force isn’t the best option — say, on narrower fairways — DeChambeau leans on a mini driver, the Krank Formula Fire FW 13°, using the same shaft model for consistent feel and response. It’s ideal for challenging holes like Augusta’s 10th where precision outweighs power.
He also carries a 13° Krank fairway wood, closely resembling the mini driver but built differently, giving him a reliable backup when he needs driver-like distance with a bit more finesse.
His Iron Play:
Bryson’s irons are custom Avoda Prototypes (5-iron through pitching wedge), paired with the same LA Golf shafts and his signature JumboMax grips. These irons are known for their strong lofts — his 5-iron functions almost like a 3-iron — helping him generate impressive distance without switching to longer clubs. The combination creates a long game that’s as aggressive as it is calculated.
Short Game Set-Up:
In the wedge department, he uses a full set of Ping Glide 4.0 wedges: 45°, 50°, 56°, and 60°, each equipped with LA Golf’s Rebar shafts. These wedges are a hybrid of blade and cavity-back designs, offering both precision and forgiveness — especially on off-center hits.
On the greens, his putter of choice is the SIK Pro-C Series Armlock, fitted with a JumboFlat 17 grip. The standout feature is the Descending Loft Technology, which helps create consistent strikes and better distance control, something DeChambeau praises highly.
The Ball:
To complete his setup, he plays the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash ball. Designed for low spin off the tee and optimal performance around the greens, it’s the ball of choice for players wanting maximum control throughout the round.
Altogether, Bryson DeChambeau’s equipment reflects his unique, scientific approach to golf. Whether that translates into a Green Jacket is still up for debate — but his setup is certainly ready for the challenge.
