Bryson DeChambeau Bag Check: Every Club He Plays in 2026

Bryson DeChambeau plays the least copyable bag in professional golf, and he seems to enjoy it that way. He is golf's resident scientist, so almost nothing in his setup comes off a shop shelf. The driver is a Krank Formula Fire, built by a long-drive specialist rather than one of the big retail brands. The irons are one-of-one 3D-printed prototypes. The wedges are Bettinardi prototypes, the putter is an armlock SIK, the grips are oversized JumboMax, and he does not wear a glove at all. The single item you could walk into a shop and match exactly is the ball: a Titleist Pro V1x.

Below is the full setup as reported through the 2026 season, followed by our honest take on what you can realistically copy and what you should leave to a man who has rebuilt his entire body and swing around ball speed.

Bryson DeChambeau's full bag, club by club

The item you can buy today

Most of DeChambeau's bag is either prototype, specialist or built to a spec no fitter would ever hand you. One item is exactly what you would find on a shop shelf: the ball. He plays a Titleist Pro V1x, the firm, high-launch, low-spin sibling of the Pro V1 that suits players who deliver serious speed and want a penetrating flight. The tour ball he actually tees up is the firmer Left Dash version in a private stamp, but the retail Pro V1x is the direct, buyable match and the single cleanest link to his setup.

The glove is worth a mention only because there is not one. DeChambeau is one of the very few elite players who competes gloveless, on the logic that a bare hand gives him more feel and a more consistent grip pressure. It is not advice for everyone, and most club golfers will want a glove for grip security in the wet, but it tells you how much he trusts his own hands.

The clubs you cannot just add to a bag

The rest of the bag is where the "curated by pros" idea runs headlong into reality. These clubs are prototype, specialist, or built to a spec that only makes sense for a swing like his. Here is what is worth understanding before you go chasing any of it.

Driver and fairway woods

DeChambeau's driver is a Krank Formula Fire, a head that comes from the long-drive world rather than the mainstream retail lineup, set very low in loft and paired with a stiff prototype shaft. It is built to survive and reward a swing pushing towards long-drive ball speeds, and it would be almost unplayable for a normal golfer. His two Krank fairway woods follow the same logic. You cannot meaningfully copy this end of the bag, and you should not try. If you want his kind of stability, get properly fitted for a modern retail driver at a loft and shaft weight matched to your speed.

Irons and the prototypes

His irons are 3D-printed one-of-ones, designed around his own preferences for weighting and feel and built on heavy Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X7 shafts. There is genuinely no retail equivalent, because the whole point is that they are unique to him. The lesson to borrow is not the technology but the fitting mindset: a set matched to your swing will always beat a set copied from a tour player. For most golfers a players' cavity-back does far more good than anything resembling a blade.

Wedges

DeChambeau plays Bettinardi HLX prototype wedges in the 50 and 56 slots, with a Ping Glide 4.0 as his 60-degree lob, all on the same stiff shafts as his irons. Wedges are one area where copying a pro's thinking is reasonable, because grind and bounce matter enormously. You will not find his exact Bettinardi prototypes, but a well-fitted gap, sand and lob set from any of the major wedge makers, chosen for the turf you actually play, is a sensible tour-standard buy.

Putter

His putter is a SIK Pro C-Series played armlock, pressed against his lead forearm to take the wrists out of the stroke, with SIK's descending-loft face that is meant to deliver a consistent launch wherever you strike it. Armlock is a legitimate method, and if your putting falls apart under pressure it is worth trying, but it needs a longer, specific build and real practice. This is not a club to copy on a whim.

The closest setup you can actually buy

You cannot build DeChambeau's bag, and honestly you would not want to unless you swing like him. What you can do is copy the one item that transfers and borrow the thinking behind the rest:

• Ball: the Titleist Pro V1x above, the retail match for his firmer tour ball, and the one part of his setup you can own exactly. Not sure the firmer Pro V1x suits your speed? Read our guide on golf ball compression and swing speed before you buy.
• Driver: forget the Krank. Get fitted for a modern retail driver at a loft and shaft matched to your own speed, not his.
• Irons: skip anything blade-like. A players' cavity-back gives you feel with real forgiveness.
• Wedges: a fitted gap, sand and lob set is one of the few genuinely tour-standard buys open to a club golfer.
• Putter: if you fancy the armlock idea, get one built to the correct length rather than adapting a standard putter.

That is the honest version. One item you can match exactly, and everything else copied in spirit and fitted to you. For more tour setups broken down the same way, head to our Bag Check hub.

Frequently asked questions

What golf ball does Bryson DeChambeau use?
He plays a Titleist Pro V1x, specifically the firmer tour Left Dash version in a private Double Dot stamp. The retail Pro V1x is the closest ball you can buy off the shelf, and it is the one part of his bag you can match directly.

What driver does Bryson DeChambeau play?
A Krank Formula Fire, a low-lofted head from the long-drive world rather than a mainstream retail brand, fitted with a stiff Project X prototype shaft and built for extreme ball speed. It is not a driver most golfers could play.

What putter does Bryson DeChambeau use?
A SIK Pro C-Series played armlock, around 39 inches, pressed against his lead forearm with SIK's descending-loft face. It is a very individual putting method rather than an off-the-rack setup.

Does Bryson DeChambeau wear a glove?
No. DeChambeau plays bare-handed on both hands, one of the very few elite players to compete gloveless, because he believes it gives him better feel and more consistent grip pressure.

What irons does Bryson DeChambeau play?
One-of-one 3D-printed prototype irons built to his own spec on heavy True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X7 shafts. There is no retail version, because they are unique to him.

Can I buy Bryson DeChambeau's exact setup?
Only the ball. You can match his Titleist Pro V1x exactly. His Krank driver and woods, 3D-printed irons, Bettinardi prototype wedges and armlock putter are all specialist or one-off builds, so the rest of the bag is best copied in spirit and fitted to your own swing.
