What’s in the Bag?

What's in the Bag of Professional Golfer Jaacob Bowden?
Drivers:

At the moment, Jaacob has two drivers that include:

  • 44.25-inch 8.5-degree 425cc Taylormade R9 TP Driver with 85g Fujikura F185(TP) X-Flex 3.3 Torque Low/Mid Launch Graphite Shaft

Woods:


Hybrids:

  • 16 and 20-degree Wishon Hybrids

Irons:

Jaacob was playing a set of 1iron Golf 3-9 irons with spine-alined Dynamic Gold SL X-100 steel shafts and Sensicore, however, with the new groove rules for Pros he switched to a set of Wishon 555s. The 4-iron is the 555C and the 5 through 9-iron are the 555Ms.

Wedges:
  • Wishon 555M PW (48 degrees), GW (52 degrees), and SW (55 degrees bent to 57 degrees)
Grips:

Avon Jumbo Chamois Golf Grip
• 64g Avon Jumbo Chamois Golf Grip

Jaacob has been using these grips for years. They are cheap, they last a long time, and he really loves oversize heavier grips because they don’t blister the hands as much and they move the club’s center of gravity more towards the handle end (which means significantly lower Moment, resultant forces from impact (Torque and Impulse Reaction), Shock, Work, Shoulder Pull, Shoulder Crunch, Wrist Crunch, and Elbow Crunch).

Putter:

B3 Heavy Putter
B3 Heavy Putter

This putter has tested really well in independent testing and the weight of it is nice for short or nerve-racking putts and on windy days. It took a little bit of getting used to for longer putts, but now Jaacob thinks it's great. The only thing this putter is missing is a line on the top of it for alinement purposes. He tried taping a piece of cardboard with a line to it, but it fell off when he played in the rain...so he needs to come up with another fix. He's had it since 2007.

Ball:

Titleist ProV1x Golf Ball
Titleist ProV1x

Jaacob has been playing this ball since it came out on the market. The regular ProV1 goes high and spins too much for Jaacob, so he uses the ‘x’.
