Wall-to-Wall Equipment: The unlikely reason Tony Finau just added more(!) driver distance - Golf.com

Wolff also chose to change 3-wood shafts, replacing the Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black 6.5TX with a Graphite Design Tour-AD BB 8X.

Wanna be like JT

Charles Howell III took a page from the Justin Thomas playbook and exchanged his TaylorMade Spider Mini Red for the Scotty Cameron T5.5 W, better known as the head shape popularized by the former PGA Championship winner. (Thomas has since gone back to a Newport-style head.)

Howell ranked 50th in strokes gained: putting with the face-balanced wand on his way to a top-25 showing — his first since the Arnold Palmer Invitational (T15).

No surprise here

In a move that’s sure to surprise absolutely no one, Hideki Matsuyama had a mediocre outing with a new Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS putter and returned to his “ace” the following week at the 3M Open.

On the bright side, Matsuyama logged a top-10 finish without cracking the top 50 in putting for the week. But from a statistical standpoint, he was actually better on the greens with the new putter. Go figure.

Mirror, mirror

You’ve likely been told at least once or twice in your lifetime to not look directly at the sun. Seriously, don’t do it. The same could be said for the new mirror finish on Jimmy Walker’s Titleist Vokey Design SM7 wedges.

The finish looks incredibly clean, but you’d certainly want to make sure you weren’t staring directly at them on a sunny day. Good thing for Jimmy, the finish was only added to the back of the head. In the address position, each wedge has a muted, non-glare finish that’s much easier on the eyes.

Quick-hitters: Titleist swept the board in every major equipment count for the third consecutive week on the PGA Tour. … Patton Kizzire switched to a Garsen Quad Tour putter grip and ranked third in the field in strokes gained: putting. … Lucas Glover finished T7 while ranking 8th in strokes gained: off-the-tee with a new Srixon Z 785 driver. … Adam Hadwin produced another strong week with the Odyssey Stroke Lab #2 Double Wide putter he put in play at the PGA Championship.
