COUNTER EFFECT
I've always counterbalanced my clubs. I used to put lead tape under the grips, but now I use weight plugs in the butt end—30 grams for woods, 20 for irons and wedges and 50 for the putter.

DRIVER
SPECS: Callaway Rogue Sub Zero, 9˚, 44.5 inches, Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Dual Core 70TX shaft, C-7.5 swingweightI hit down on the ball, even with the driver, so I've always had high spin. I've tried to hit up more to optimize, but this low-spin model also helps.

FAIRWAY WOODS
SPECS: Callaway Rogue, 13.5˚, 42.5 inches, Callaway Rogue Sub Zero, 18˚, 41.625 inches, Mitsubishi Kuro Kage XT 80TX shaftA lot of players use the 3-wood as a second driver, but for me it's almost always a second-shot club. In fact, I use my 5-wood more off the tee.

IRONS
SPECS: Callaway Apex Pro 16 (3-, 4-irons); Callaway Apex MB 18 (5-iron through 9-iron), Nippon Modus 130X shafts, SuperStroke S-Tech 58 round gripsI played blades for a good part of my career, so it feels so good to go back to them for my middle and short irons.

WEDGES
SPECS: Callaway Mack Daddy 4 (48˚, 54˚); Callaway Mack Daddy PM (60˚), Nippon Modus 130X shaftsThese are so consistent. I have the sensation that I can feel the ball more on the clubface than in the past.

PUTTER
SPECS: Odyssey Toulon Azalea, 35 inches, 3.75˚ loft, SuperStroke 1.0 P gripThis is a little different than the Atlanta model I won with at Valderrama in October. It's longer heel to toe but shorter from front to back.

VERSATILE SPHERE
I feel like I can play a greater variety of shots around the green with my Callaway Chrome Soft X.

GOOD VIBE ON THE GREENS
Look hard and you'll see my Masters pin from last year that I sometimes use as a ball marker.

UTILITY CLUB
You never know when you're going to need a small knife or similar tool, so I keep this Swiss Army knife in my bag.
