Talor Gooch used Odyssey's Tri-Hot 5K Two putter to hit the ball in his first week.

Welcome to Wall-to-Wall Equipment, this is the equipment summary on Monday morning, where GOLF equipment editor Jonathan Wall will take you to the latest trends, rumors and breaking news.

Talor Gooch can stop the putter search. After winning by three strokes in the RSM Classic, it is safe to say that Odyssey's Tri-Hot 5K putter has won a place.

After a mediocre performance in Houston, Gucci went to the island to practice the green to find a solution. The 30-year-old player is one of several players in the field. They tested the prototype named "Tri-Hot 5K" through the on-site Odyssey laboratory. During the test, Gucci saw a significant improvement in eccentric strike performance, which led to the conversion.

Gucci said after hitting a 64 in the final round: "I had a few chances to make things worse and I was able to put in some key putts." A new putter was installed in the bag and it worked well this week. . I pushed a few putts this week. "

Even the White Hot insert on Odyssey's Tri-Hot 5K putter has a classic look.

Gucci pushed in more than a few putters. He caught 20 birdies and ranked 6th in SG: Putting with a new wand for a week. In fact, Gooch is not the only professional player in the field who gives Tri-Hot a chance. Five players, including Gooch, put the Tri-Hot 5K into use in the first week it was opened to professionals.

It is not clear when Tri-Hot 5K will be launched for the general public, but according to Andrew Tursky of GOLF.com participating in the RSM Classic on the spot, putting seems to be an explosion in the past.

In the early 2000s, Odyssey released a series of "Tri Hot" putters that combined three different materials; a steel body, a tungsten alloy counterweight, and a White Hot face insert. Although the company remains silent on the design details of the 2021-22 version, Odyssey seems to be returning to a similar three-material design.

Matt Kuchar's 2022 Bridgestone Tour BX prototype golf ball.

After extensive testing with the company's R&D department, Matt Kuchar jumped to Bridgestone's 2022 Tour BX Prototype ball.

"This new prototype ball, I saw in my tests, it hits the ball faster from the driver and chips-as a professional tour player, when you get the right feeling, the right Track, even a small pitch, you will be very excited, this new golf makes me excited around the tee and green," Kuchar told GOLF.com.

Kuchar finished with a new ball in his first week and tied for 37th.

Justin Rose made several changes to his equipment settings.

The beauty of being an unequipped agent is that whenever something goes wrong, you can change it freely—without having to sweat the brand.

For Justin Rose, this means changing the driver and putter grip before the final game of the PGA Tour in 2021. The former US Open champion switched to a 9-degree Titleist TSi4 driver and Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black 70 shaft, and replaced the Lamkin grip on his Axis1 Rose putter with a SuperStroke Traxion Claw model.

Rose is considered one of the most detail-oriented players on the tour, so these changes may not come on a whim. When Rose finished tied for 12th-his best performance in three starts this season-both in SG: 8th in the kickoff zone and SG: 25th in putting, both paid off.

Fast hitter: Rory McIlroy added two highly resilient TaylorMade MG3 wedges (54 degrees and 58 degrees) in Dubai. …Danielle Kang achieved a score of "approximately 20 yards, 30 yards" only by switching to a lower pitched Titleist TSi3 driver (8 degrees). ...Rory Sabbatini was disqualified because he unknowingly hit a small Foresight benchmark sticker on the fairway wood. … TaylorMade released a customized TP5 golf ball, which will please Matthew Wolfe and Ricky Fowler. ...
