It’s no surprise that the tower’s equipment preferences are exhaustive and personal, but there is actually some appropriate logic for why players like what they like.
In the past week’s fully equipped plot, co-host Johnny Wunder explains how RBC legacy champion Justin Thomas uses a custom-made, one-off Titleist 621.jt Irons, with no offsets essentially, prompting co-host Wadeh Maroun to ask why some players like other player offsets, while others don’t have time.
Wunder explained that many players don’t like offset because they are afraid of the rest. With more offsets, so the club face of the club is behind the club’s Hoth table, which gives the players more time, even if we’re just talking about a second score, it can make the club face positive. That’s why you’ll see so many game improvements and super game improvement clubs designed with lots of offsets to help hackers fight.
“There are no indicators that prove this, but it’s just an optical thing, right?” Wunder said.
Professionals don’t need this antispellent technique, although some prefer extra time, or just like the look.
Another aesthetic feature that can change the shooting pattern is the blade length.
Titleist T100 Custom Iron
For more travel professionals, the preferred iron now brings a more solid feel and rewards refined improvements that make the T100 the standard for modern touring steel shows. It feels crucial to the best players in the game. The Titleist T100’s refined, completely forged dual-cavity construction has a stronger impact, while the precise CNC face milling process results in more consistent contact for greater control. The enhanced feel is the latest evolution of the T100 dual-cavity forged structure with enhanced rear rods to create a more solid impact. With modal testing and notifications of travel input, the T100 Irons are tuned to provide exact stability and feel, the best player in the world longs for the hit shot. In addition to improvements to human body construction, the T100 can also benefit from the new precise CNC face milling process. Combined with subtle changes in CG, the result is more control and consistent ball flight, especially from the fairway to the first cut. Working with tourism professionals and Vokey Design’s grinding experts, our engineers are able to further improve our variable bounce soles by smoothing and softening the trailing edges to allow clubs to flow through the turf faster even after contact. A simple but surprisingly meaningful improvement. By leveraging dense D18 tungsten and 2000ºAerospaceBrazing Process, Titleist engineers can eliminate welding points and make you more accurate in CG placement, giving you the benefits of modern engineering performance that will make modern engineering performance more accurate.

“For example, the champion blades are short heels of the toes,” Wunder said. “So they rotate a lot. It’s not just p7tws. It’s like a long length, right?”
Shorter blade lengths mean that the head can rotate faster and easier to square. On the other hand, longer blade lengths take longer to the square and are usually preferred for fading players.
We’re just talking about the millimeters of the difference. The average 7 iron blade length ranges from 69 to 79 mm. Personally, I’m tied, but my current gamers landed on the middle to the longer side at 76.6mm. This helps neutralize my ball flight and can even fade on what I want.
Wunder said on the tour that depending on the player’s preferred shooting shape, they’ll usually be seen playing an iron with blade length to match it.
