So, I got it into my head to really check out what Steve Stricker’s been using on the golf course. Figured it might give me some ideas to up my own game, you know?
Started off kinda basic, just poking around online, seeing what folks were saying about his gear. Found out he’s got this Titleist TSR3 driver, which is apparently a big deal. Nine degrees, whatever that means. Sounds important, right?
- First thing I did was try to find out what driver he’s using. It’s a Titleist TSR3, 9 degrees.
- Then I dug into his putter.
Digging into Stricker’s Bag
Then, I tried to find out more about his putter, ’cause that’s where I really struggle. Turns out, he’s using an Odyssey White Hot No. 2. Looks pretty standard, but I guess if it works for him, there must be something to it. I spent a good chunk of time just reading reviews about this putter, trying to figure out if it’s something I should consider.
From what I gathered, Stricker’s bag is a real mix of stuff. Some new gear, some old. Like, he’s got this new SM10 wedge, but then he’s also using some older model for his fairway wood and hybrid. Makes sense, I guess. You stick with what works, right?
- Spent time figuring out his overall bag setup.
- Noticed he uses a mix of new and old clubs.
It’s All About the Feel
And get this, I even found a quote from him talking about why he switches things up. He said something about looking for that “little bit of an advantage” and finding a better “feeling.” That really hit home for me. I mean, who isn’t looking for that edge, right? He was talking about a new putter he tried, saying his stroke felt “more solid” and “flowed better.” I gotta say, that got me thinking. If a pro like Stricker is still tinkering with his gear to find that perfect feel, maybe I should be paying more attention to that stuff too.
- I read a quote from Stricker about always looking for an edge.
- Made me think about how important “feel” is.
So, yeah, that’s where I’m at with this whole Steve Stricker WITB thing. It’s been kinda eye-opening, to be honest. I’m no pro, but seeing how a guy like Stricker approaches his gear, it’s given me a lot to think about for my own game. I realized it’s not just about having the newest, fanciest stuff. It’s about what works for you and makes you feel confident on the course. Now, I am gonna spend some time messing around with my own clubs, trying to find that sweet spot. Who knows, maybe I’ll even try out that Odyssey putter.
