Wesley Bryan walks through the layout of his unique bag

Wesley Bryan has opened up about what motivates some of his bag setup options including the use of two 4 irons.

Bryan’s use of two 4-irons in his golf bag, including a Takomo 101U Driving Iron and a Titleist T200, has been widely documented, but it’s not the only unusual feature in his bag.

Bryan revealed that he played in the Barracuda Championship with two drivers: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max, who has been his player since the start of the 2024 season, and the new Titleist GT2 driver. According to Bryan, the two-driver configuration allowed him to move the ball from both directions effectively.

“One was more friendly to paint, and one was more friendly to fade,” Bryan said.

Bryan, on the other hand, says he will only use one driver at the 3M Open: the Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max, which he likes for its forgiveness, especially for shots he misses on the toe of the face.

“The reason why I like this driver so much is that… many boys hit the ball between the teams against each other; and, yes, that’s probably how you should hit the driver. I try to use a lot of faces,” Bryan joked.

“You see, my marks go anywhere from (the center of the face) to here (the toes of the face). So I like to use about an inch and a half of the clubface here. Forgiveness in this driver’s toe is second to none, and, again, I hit it wrong, as you know, most of the time, although it gets better. This driver is very sorry.”

In addition to the driver movement at the top of his setup, Bryan added the new Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max 3-wood to his inventory to go along with his driver.

“I had a (TaylorMade) Stealth 3-wood in there for a while, but I was so happy with the Ai Smoke driver that I got Johnny Thompson (Callaway Tour representative) here to build the same 3-wood as possible. ,” Bryan explained. “This club has been used for a round to extract money from Tom Whitney and Zach Johnson on the last hole. I drove it on a hazard, which is obviously not common. Hitting a side hill into the rough from 265 yards, it hit 10 feet… and made the bird difficult. So this club, I’ve been really enjoying it; it has been in the bag for about three weeks.”

Bryan also carries a TaylorMade Stealth 2 hybrid, which luckily ended up in his bag.

“[My hybrid] it was built as a backup while I waited for my clubs to arrive [at the John Deere Classic last year], and I needed stuff to play the pro-am with, so this was kind of an ‘oopsie’ combo… turns out I like it. It has been in the bag ever since.”

Bryan uses a LAB Link.1 blade-style putter, equipped with balanced lie-angle technology and a solid TPT shaft.

“Before I started using the LAB putter, I didn’t understand the importance of the putter shaft,” says Bryan. “I honestly didn’t know that shafts make a difference in putters. When I started with LAB, they had all these shaft options. I decided to go with the TPT one, the strongest option they have, [which provide] better response time in hands. As for placement, I’m very happy with how it folds. I feel like my putt quality has improved.”
