The PGA Tour’s newest free agent, Wesley Bryan’s unknown irons, and custom Ryder Cup gear spotted in Napa
Welcome to “Wine Country,” but please, no complaining, because this week’s Tour Report is here to provide the latest equipment news from the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour’s Fall season kicks off this week at the 2023 Fortinet Championship at Silverado Golf Resort & Spa in Napa, California.
As always, GolfWRX.com was live on site to see what equipment is inside the bags of the world’s best, and figure out what changes they’re making…and why. This week, Justin Thomas made a few surprising club additions, Odyssey unveiled custom putter covers, SuperStroke gave us a sneak peek at its custom Ryder Cup grips, Wesley Bryan switched into irons from an obscure brand, and we saw what’s in the bag of the PGA Tour’s newest equipment free agent.
Let’s get right into this week’s equipment highlights from Napa.
Kevin Tway’s blank staff bag

Tway showed up at the 2023 Fortinet Championship this week with a blacked-out Vessel staff bag, rather than the Wilson bag he’d been using since signing with the company in 2020.
As of Tuesday, Tway packed his new bag with mostly Titleist equipment, including a TSR3 driver, U505 driving iron, T100 irons, Vokey SM9 wedges, and a Scotty Cameron T5 proto putter, to go along with a pair of TaylorMade Stealth 2 fairway woods.
The pool of free agents seems to be ever-growing on the PGA Tour as the new age equipment landscape takes form. Tway is the latest addition to the list.

Wesley Bryan puts Takomo on the map

Unless you’re a super gearhead, you probably haven’t heard of Takomo, which is a direct-to-consumer iron/wedge manufacturer in Scandinavia.
On Tuesday, Bryan told GolfWRX.com that he discovered the irons on the Internet, and he tried them out during his time off between the Wyndham Championship last month, and the Fortinet Championship this week.
Here’s what he had to say about the irons (which sell for just $649 a set):
“I first tried them out during… I guess you could consider it a little bit of an offseason,” Bryan said. “I had a few weeks off after Wyndham and was dabbling around. I’m always looking for ways to get better, and figure out how I’m approaching this Fall season. But yeah, I’m trying them out. I’ve really enjoyed them. They look great and they feel great, and they at least warranted getting them in the bag this week.”
As of Tuesday, Bryan was still figuring out exactly how he’ll configure his mixed set of Takomo 301 CB and 301 MB irons, but either way, he’s giving the brand a run this week.

Custom Ryder Cup grips

This week in Napa, SuperStroke unveiled its custom grip designs for both Team USA and Team Europe ahead of the 2023 Ryder Cup in Italy.

JT’s new long driver, and welded 4-iron

Justin Thomas, who’s getting his last competitive preparations in before the Ryder Cup, was spotted testing out a new driver shaft this week.
As it turns out, the Graphite Design VF-5X shaft actually measures nearly an inch longer than the Mitsubishi Diamana 60ZF shaft that he’s been using for the last four years.
While it’s simply an experimental backup option for now, Thomas said it’s helping him pick up 3-5 mph of ball speed per drive. This is a significant development, especially with the Match Play format of the Ryder Cup approaching.

Thomas also brought out a customized Titleist T100 4-iron, which was tweaked to have zero offset. He’s not a big fan of offset, as we all know by now, so his new 4-iron option fits more in line with the shaping of the rest of his set. We’ll see if he officially puts it in play this week.

Fore the wine lovers

The PGA Tour event held in wine country certainly deserves a custom wine-bottle inspired putter cover, and Odyssey delivered the goods. The company made custom blade and mallet covers for its staffers this week.
Ryder Cup wedge stampings

Thomas and Max Homa – the only two Ryder Cup participants playing in the Fortinet Championship – are breaking in their patriotic wedge stampings this week. Aaron Dill simply never ceases to deliver on precision and artistry.
And, with that, we say goodbye to Napa, and to this week’s Tour Report. Don’t forget to pour up a glass of wine this week while you’re watching some golf (and browsing the photos below).

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions 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.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
