Akshay Bhatia WITB: Rocket Mortgage Classic
Here’s a look at the Callaway and Odyssey equipment in Bhatia’s bag:
- A Chrome Tour Golf Ball
- Rogue ST MAX LS Driver (9°) – Fuji Ventus Black 7X Shaft
- Apex UW (19°) – Fuji Ventus Black 10X Shaft
- X Forged UT (21°) – KBS $-Taper 125 S+ Shaft
- Apex TCB Irons (5-PW) – KBS $-Taper 125 S+ Shaft
- Jaws Raw Wedges (50°, 54°) – KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 135 X Shafts
- Opus Prototype Wedge (60°) – KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 135 X Shaft
- Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380 Broomstick Putter
Akshay has used a Chrome Tour Ball since the season-opening event at Kapalua, including during his victory at the Valero Texas Open. Bhatia particularly likes the feel that he gets off the irons as well as the control that the ball provides him on approach shots and around the green.
Every detail in Chrome Tour has been optimized, including the core that creates a spectacular balance of long distance and soft feel. The aerodynamic package is built for consistently stable ball flights in any condition. Additionally, players can aggressively go after shots from added spin through the bag, while the cover system provides outstanding control and Tour-level feel. Xander Schauffele used a Chrome Tour in his major victory last month at the PGA Championship.
Yin and Thitikul Win At LPGA Team Event
Callaway staffers Ruoning Yin and Atthaya Thitikul made a final hole birdie earlier today to win the Dow Championship, the lone team event on the LPGA. Both players used a Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Driver, Callaway Fairway Woods, Callaway Irons, Callaway Wedges, and Odyssey Putters (Yin games an Odyssey Ai-ONE Jailbird Mini).
Yin uses a Chrome Tour Golf Ball, and Thitikul uses a Chrome Tour X. This win comes just a few weeks after Yuka Saso’s major win at the U.S. Women’s Open. This was the 2nd Callaway win on the day after Marcel Siem’s victory on the DP World Tour.
#1 Driver and Putter at U.S. Senior Open
Team Callaway is the #1 Driver and Fairway Wood this week at the U.S. Senior Open, and Odyssey is the #1 Putter. Paradym Ai Smoke is the #1 Driver model at the major championship and there are 66 Odyssey Putters in the field.
