Patrick Reed’s Unconventional Golf Gear Shines at Dubai Event
Golf fans, hold onto your hats because Patrick Reed is back at it, showcasing his incredible and rather unique golf club setup. This equipment-free agent has always had a flair for mixing and matching brands, and this week at the Dubai Desert Classic, he’s done just that. Reed has completely embraced the idea that golf gear doesn’t have to follow convention, and boy, is it paying off!
Career Highlights
Let’s take a moment to appreciate Reed’s impressive career. With a remarkable Major win at The Masters, alongside nine PGA Tour victories and one win in the LIV Golf League, it’s no surprise that he’s turning heads wherever he goes. But keep your eyes on the clubs, folks, because this set-up is just as exciting as his achievements.
A Fresh Take on Equipment
Reed has a mixed bag of golf clubs in his arsenal, featuring brands like Titleist, TaylorMade, Cleveland, and Grindworks. It’s almost like a buffet of top-tier golf gear, and he’s made it work flawlessly. His driver? It’s a Titleist GT3 set at an 8.5° loft paired with an Aldila Tour Rogue Silver 70 Tour X shaft. He’s switched between drivers, previously using Ping G400 LST and G440 LST, showcasing just how much flexibility he has with gear.
At the Dubai Desert Classic, he wowed spectators by opting for the Aldila Tour Rogue Silver shaft, demonstrating his knack for finding the right fit. Reed believes that shorter drivers enhance his swing, granting him a more free and versatile approach to shot-making. That sounds like a winning strategy to us!
Utilities and Irons: Uniqueness on Course
When it comes to his fairway wood, he relies on the TaylorMade Qi35 at 15°, a staple that will likely remain through much of 2025. Though Reed has played with other fairway woods like the Titleist GT3 and Callaway Elyte, he often keeps switching shafts, further showcasing his adaptability on the green.
His utility iron is the Titleist 2016 716 T-MB, a trusty club that he uses in various course conditions. He’s also got a Callaway Apex Pro hybrid in his bag, featuring an 18° loft for those tricky shots.
As for his irons, they include the Grindworks PR-202 (for the 4-iron) and Grindworks PR-101A (5-iron to pitching wedge), all equipped with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts. Reed actually designed these Grindworks irons after encountering some challenges with typical one-piece forged irons during a practice session. How innovative of him!
Wedges and Putter Choices
When it comes to short game, Reed’s got a solid selection. He uses a Cleveland RTX6 Tour Rack wedge at 52°, alongside a Titleist Vokey SM10 in both 56° and 60°. All of these wedges have True Temper shafts as well, creating a cohesive short game setup tailored to his preferences.
As for the putter, Reed has made the move to a Scotty Cameron Tour Rat 1.5 Proto, stepping away from his previous choice of an Odyssey White Hot Pro #3. That’s a significant change, and it’s evident that he enjoys experimenting with his tools!
Final Details
He prefers using a Titleist Pro V1x golf ball, having opted for the Pro V1x Plus during some of his major victories. Consistency is key! And let’s not forget that Reed is a proud member of the 4Aces Golf Club in the LIV Golf League and is even teaming up with Under Armour for some stylish tournament apparel.
Equipment Adaptability
One notable aspect of Reed’s prowess is his ability to adjust to varying course conditions. His extensive knowledge of golfing equipment enhances his performance, allowing him to maximize each club’s potential. It’s that kind of adaptability that sets Reed apart from other golfers on the circuit!
As the Dubai Desert Classic continues, keep an eye on Patrick Reed and his eclectic golf setup. It’s a mix of ingenuity and talent that we can all appreciate!
