DeChambeau indicated during his media session on Tuesday that he\u2019s now building his own clubs. Because of course he is. Or at least he is in the process of constructing a set of irons and a driver. Maybe. His answers lacked a little specificity.<\/p>\n
DeChambeau told the media that \u201cit\u2019s my own personal clubs I\u2019m building\u201d. As most who\u2019ve followed DeChambeau can recite, he is the only professional of significance to use irons and wedges that are all the same length (generally the equivalent of a typical 7-iron). He\u2019s played single-length irons since he was a teenager and has made the case that they make for a more efficient and consistent swing<\/a>.<\/p>\n But that hasn\u2019t stopped him from tinkering with the idea, even on the eve of major championships.<\/p>\n \u201c[In] South Africa I was trying wedges, so I was going quite a bit down a rabbit hole there and figured a couple of cool things out,\u201d he said. \u201cHopefully it helps this week. Then, I am working on irons, building irons, building a driver, so we\u2019ll see where it goes, we\u2019ll see where it takes me. All I could say now is, if I don\u2019t put them in the bag, it\u2019s my fault now.\u201d<\/p>\n He\u2019s won on LIV twice this year with a set of Avoda \u201cBryson DeChambeau Prototype\u201d irons, some Bettinardi HLX 6.0 wedges and a Ping Glide 4.0 60-degree wedge, as well as the Krank Formula Fire driver, 3-wood and 5-wood that he has used for some time.<\/p>\n How exactly DeChambeau is \u201cbuilding\u201d his own clubs wasn\u2019t clear. While he certainly has enough money to commission any kind of club construction he might want, or to employ any kind of club designer he might be able to find, his unique set makeup requires unusual head weights that aren\u2019t commonly found. Most companies in trying to retrofit existing clubs to DeChambeau\u2019s specs have to perform some unusual weighting tricks. He has recently used a version of Ping\u2019s i230 irons that in some cases required nearly 50 grams of extra weight in the head.<\/p>\n Golf gear gymnastics is not new territory for DeChambeau. At the Masters two years ago, the two-time US Open champion put custom-made Avoda irons in the bag. The irons, which at the time were not a retail product, feature a curved face with varying degrees of bulge through the set in an effort to improve dispersion based on his higher swing speed. The clubs had to be approved by the USGA for conformance to the groove rules in the days leading up to the Masters that year. DeChambeau went on to win the US Open at Pinehurst No.2 later that year<\/a> with that \u201cone of one\u201d set, and the company went on to introduce versions of those irons in 2025.<\/p>\n Then, at the US Open last year, DeChambeau debuted new irons from a different company, L.A. Golf<\/a>. At the time, he was the company\u2019s flagship player, suggesting on Golf Digest\u2018s \u201cThe Loop\u201d podcast that \u201cwe\u2019re going to change the game. We\u2019re going to ruffle some feathers, I\u2019d say, in a good way. We\u2019re going to innovate beyond what\u2019s known so far.\u201d<\/p>\n But in a disagreement with ownership, DeChambeau broke from L.A. Golf in February after being part of the company since 2018<\/a> as it looked to expand to a full line of clubs. The two sides parted ways after DeChambeau sought to acquire 51 percent of company, up from his two percent stake.<\/p>\n Again, on Tuesday at the Masters, DeChambeau was cryptic about whether he\u2019s been forging and grinding his own designs or weighting up another manufacturers\u2019 current heads. And nothing clear about the prototype driver he\u2019s been developing, either. Based on images from the practice round, he still appears to be gaming the Krank driver and Avoda irons. It seems unlikely that anything will change by the first round. But this is the same guy who once shot a YouTube video of him trying to hit the founder and chief content creator of his production company with a stinger iron shot<\/a>, so anything is possible. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n![\"https:\/\/www.golfdigest.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2026\/4\/GettyImages-2270226936BrysonMasters26Practice.jpg\"\/](\"https:\/\/golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2026\/4\/GettyImages-2270226936BrysonMasters26Practice.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.966.1352.suffix\/1775607036803.jpeg\")
