The Gear Dive WITB Edition: Adam Scott
In this WITB edition of The Gear Dive, Johnny chats with JJ VanWezenbeeck and Aaron Dill of Titleist Golf on the ins and outs of Genesis Invitational Champion Adam Scott’s setup.
Adam Scott WITB details below
Driver: Titleist TS4 (10.5 degrees, A1 SureFit setting, 2-gram weight)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Kuro Kage XTS 80 X
- Scott put the Kuro Kage in play this week. Per Titleist’s J.J. VanWezenbeeck, “Adam Scott switched to the TS4 driver at the ZoZo Championship due to head size, shape, and improved launch to spin ratios. This week, after discussions with Adam, he went to a shaft he had previously played for increased stability. He felt the shaft went a little far and he lost head feel. We went on course with lead tape to get the feels to match up then weighted the head to preferred swing weight after testing.”
3-wood: Titleist TS2 (16.5 degrees, A1 SureFit setting)
Shaft: Fujikura Rombax P95 X
Irons: Titleist 716 T-MB (3-iron), Titleist 680 (4-9 irons)

weird.. his old shaft (ADDI) has a higher balance point that a KK XT but they needed to add weight to the head?? Not making any sense. Unless that XTS proto he has is backweighted or something

Tour heads are often produced underweight in preparation for potential hot-melting. Easier to go up in weight, versus going down in weight.

not sure if you read the article, but he switched into that head a couple months ago – shaft change came this week
