Keegan Bradley What's In The Bag?
Before getting back into the winner's circle at the 2022 ZOZO Championship, Keegan Bradley's last win on the PGA Tour came at the 2018 BMW Championship in another play-off. That long wait could have been in large part due to the ban of his anchored style of putting.
“A lot has happened to me over these six years,” he said at the time. “The belly putter was a tougher transition than I thought, and I kind of fell off the radar there for a little while. It's tough to go from being on Ryder Cup teams, being on Presidents Cup teams to outside the top 100 in the world. That was difficult.”
Here, we take a closer look at his line-up of clubs for the 2024 season, which contains an interesting mix of brands.
Driver
What Driver Does Keegan Bradley Use?
Bradley's driver situation has changed a bit of late. Over the years he has been using the TaylorMade SIM, Stealth Plus, Srixon ZX5 and Ping G430 models, but he now appears to have a TaylorMade Qi10, 9.5°, in the bag, and it's fitted with a Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X shaft.
Despite the Qi10 Max being the headline product of this family, the Qi10 is bound to appeal to a lot of golfers. We saw the new Qi10 range in the hands of Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler before Christmas, and it more than warrants its place on our list of the best golf drivers.
Fairway Woods
What Fairway Wood Does Keegan Bradley Use?
The American is currently playing with a TaylorMade Stealth fairway wood . We're not certain of the loft, but he used to carry a TaylorMade SIM2 Max fairway wood that was 16.5°. In terms of shaft, it's fitted with the Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI.
The Stealth made our editor's choice in 2022, and Bradley still seems keen by what it offers him, which we suspect, having tested it, is an impressive combination of distance, accuracy and versatility.
Hybrid
What Hybrid Does Keegan Bradley Use?
Bradley has been carrying hybrids for a while now and after using the Callaway Apex Pro for a while, he has now got a newer Callaway Apex UW in the bag. It has 19° of loft and a Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 80 TX shaft. This tour-inspired utility wood, which has a neat look at address and offers a healthy launch, gives the former PGA champion another option at the top of the bag.
Irons
What Irons Does Keegan Bradley Use?
Bradley, a long-time Srixon/Cleveland staff player, has a Srixon ZX Mk II three iron (20°), then plays Srixon ZX7 Mk II irons from 4-PW, all of which are fitted with the True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts.
Having hit the Srixon ZX Mk II utility iron, we believe it combines the onfident shape of the U85 with the looks of the ZX to create a forged face utility iron that blends easily into any set of Srixon irons. It's a club that you'll find on our list of the best utility irons golf clubs.
The Srixon ZX7 Mk II irons are a forged iron aimed at the better player. It's not an overly forgiving set, but good strikes are rewarded with sensational feel and consistent carries.
Wedges
What Wedges Does Keegan Bradley Use?
His two wedges have 52° and 58° degrees of loft, both Cleveland RTX ZipCore models. The exact specs are 52-10 Mid, 58-6 Low, and they are fitted with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts. Cleveland RTX ZipCore is designed predominantly for lower handicappers and it's one of the best golf wedges available right now.
Putter
What Putter Does Keegan Bradley Use?
Bradley is currently using an Odyssey Versa Jailbird, which has been part of his setup for a while. The mid-length mallet is a club designed to improve alignment via its alternating black and white stripes on the clubhead. This Odyssey putter, which features a Golf Pride Tour Velvet Align grip, is obviously one that he's settled on for the time being.
Ball
Bradley uses a Srixon Z-Star golf ball, a model that made our best golf balls guide. The new seventh generation Z-Star features a number of improvements on the previous model. The 0.6mm cover is actually now slightly thicker, promising enhanced spin, feel, and control around the greens.
Apparel/Shoes
What Shoes Does Keegan Bradley Wear?
Bradley has taken to Instagram in the past to share pictures of his golf shoes, the unmistakable Jordan golf shoes, and he appears to have a few favorites. Meanwhile, he was the first PGA player to partner with Flag & Anthem, and he wears the brand's performance golf product and signature brand logo on his chest during all tour events.
Flag & Anthem is a brand that we have had the pleasure of trying out, and you'll find some of its gear on our list of the best men's golf shirts 2024.
