Why Jordan Spieth made ‘extremely rare' changes to his gear | Tour Report
Jordan Spieth made rare in-season equipment changes ahead of the Cadillac Championship, switching to a Titleist GTS2 driver and 3-wood along with a new Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash golf ball. The changes come after Spieth noticed unusually high spin rates on certain shots over the past year and sought a lower-spinning ball. He tested the new setup after the Masters, where launch monitors are not permitted, and implemented it at the RBC Heritage before this week's event.
