Is Bryson Switching to New Irons?

When it comes to his driver, the long-hitting Bryson DeChambeau is ready and willing to test endless designs to ensure he’s using the longest and straightest driver possible. He frequently switches his driver, sometimes week-to-week, and sometimes even round-to-round.
With his irons, though, it’s a bit of a different story.
Early on in his professional career, when he first signed with Cobra, DeChambeau and the Cobra design team tested boxes full of prototype irons…and each one was more outlandish than the next.
DeChambeau’s irons are different than most other golfers, because he uses single-length builds that require slightly different head designs. Since iron game is based around precision, the irons had to be perfect for his unique swing and preferences.
That’s why when DeChambeau and the Cobra team finally decided on the Forged One Length designs in 2016, DeChambeau has had a tough time getting them out of the bag since. Although he’s tested different iron heads throughout the years since 2016, no other iron head has won out.
It seems like that’s about to change, though.
According to a recent video posted to DeChambeau’s YouTube channel on Sunday, DeChambeau has tested Cobra’s unreleased 3D-printed irons and said he’s going to be “putting them right in the bag” after a tweak to the lofts.
During the iron testing video, posted above, DeChambeau tested three different sets of irons: two different Cobra King Forged Tec sets, and one set of “King Tour” 3D Printed prototype irons built to match the design of his old Forged One Length irons. Based on his reaction, it seemed DeChambeau took a particular liking to the unreleased 3D-Printed versions.
Everyone has a slightly different iron testing process, but DeChambeau preferred to start with his pitching wedge and work up through the rest of the set.
With the 3D-Printed irons, DeChambeau was hitting his 8-iron around 215 yards and his 6-iron around 245 yards. Obviously, DeChambeau has been training his golf swing to increase speed, but those iron distances are still scary to see.
The only problem DeChambeau seemed to encounter was excessive spin rates. As reported in the video, DeChambeau was spinning his pitching wedge around 11,000 rpm, which is likely too high for DeChambeau. At his speed, too much spin will cause the ball to balloon in the air, costing him control as it flies and when it hits the putting surface.
That’s likely why DeChambeau said at the end of the video that he’d be putting them in the bag after making some loft changes. All things being equal, less loft will help DeChambeau hit the ball flatter and with less spin, helping him to gain control with the new 3D-printed irons.
So, what does 3D-printing mean, and why can it help DeChambeau going forward?
Recently, Cobra has been incorporating 3D Metal Jet printing into its iron and putter designs, which helps them create extremely precise builds. This helps speed up the prototyping process, and will also allow Cobra to perfectly match the head shape, sole and bounce characteristics of his old irons.
For DeChambeau, 3D printing means he can switch into new irons while still feeling comfortable with the playability of the heads compared to his old designs. Unfortunately, the new 3D printed irons are still prototypes, so we don’t know exactly what’s new about them from a tech and design aspect.
We can assume from DeChambeau’s video, however, that the King Tour 3D-printed iron faces have technology that makes them spin more, and that DeChambeau is seriously considering switching into them in 2022.
Look out for more information on the irons and DeChambeau’s switch in the future, as it becomes available.

When JJ Spaun stood over a 64-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont, few could have predicted what would come next. The ball meandered across the slick green, trickling over every contour, picking up speed at the crest, and then—like it had GPS—dropped center cup. Spaun dropped his putter, raised his arms, and the crowd erupted. With that single stroke, he claimed his first major title in one of the most dramatic finishes in U.S. Open history.
But how does Spaun’s putt stack up against other legendary finishes in the tournament’s storied past? Let’s break down some of the most iconic moments and see where this one lands.
1. Payne Stewart – 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst
Perhaps the most iconic putt in U.S. Open history came from Payne Stewart, who nailed a 15-footer for par on the 18th to win by one over Phil Mickelson. The pose—fist pump and outstretched leg—has since been immortalized in a statue at Pinehurst. What made it legendary wasn’t just the putt—it was the context: Stewart’s final major before his tragic death just months later.
Verdict: Iconic and emotional. Spaun’s putt was longer, but Stewart’s was more poetic.
2. Tiger Woods – 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines
Woods drained a 12-foot birdie on the 72nd hole to force a playoff with Rocco Mediate—while basically playing on one leg. That tournament went to sudden death after an 18-hole playoff, and Tiger prevailed. This was peak Tiger drama, pain and all.
Verdict: Spaun’s putt was longer, but Tiger’s win was sheer willpower and mystique.
3. Jack Nicklaus – 1972 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach
With a 1-iron shot that hit the flagstick on 17 and a crucial birdie putt on 18, Jack sealed a dominant win. His precision and timing under pressure showed why he’s the GOAT.
Verdict: Not a putt for the win, but a signature finishing statement from Jack. Spaun’s was more electric in terms of pure putter drama.
4. Ben Hogan – 1950 U.S. Open at Merion
Hogan’s 1-iron into the 18th fairway and the par to force a playoff—just 16 months after a near-fatal car crash—remain legendary. He won the playoff and completed one of golf’s great comeback stories.
Verdict: Larger-than-life comeback. Spaun’s putt had more flair, but Hogan’s win was heroic.
5. JJ Spaun – 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont
Let’s not underestimate what Spaun accomplished. The pressure was immense. He wasn’t the favorite. And on the most treacherous greens in golf, he buried a 64-foot bomb—a putt most players would be happy to lag to within 5 feet—to win the U.S. Open outright.
Verdict: For distance, surprise, and drama, Spaun’s putt may be the most shocking winning stroke in U.S. Open history.
Final Thoughts
JJ Spaun may not have the résumé of a Nicklaus or Woods, but for one Sunday afternoon in June 2025, he created a moment that will live in golf lore forever. Spaun’s putt was longer than Stewart’s, more unexpected than Tiger’s, and more dramatic than any final-hole finish in recent memory.
In terms of pure clutch putting? It might just be the greatest walk-off in U.S. Open history.

The Zen of the Shank: Finding Inner Peace in Your Worst Shots
Find your inner peace even when you aren’t playing well.

Ah, the shank. That glorious, unpredictable misfire that sends your pristine golf ball screaming sideways, often directly into the unsuspecting shins of your playing partner, or perhaps, with a touch of poetic irony, into the very lake you’ve been trying to avoid all day. Most golfers, bless their earnest little hearts, view the shank as a catastrophic failure, a blight upon their scorecard, a testament to their inherent lack of coordination. They curse, they throw clubs, they contemplate a career in competitive thumb-wrestling. But not I. No, my friends, for I, Ty Webb, have found enlightenment in the humble shank.
You see, the shank is not a mistake; it’s a revelation. It’s the universe’s way of reminding you that control is an illusion, that perfection is a myth, and that sometimes, the most direct path to your goal is, in fact, a wildly indirect one. Think of it as a philosophical detour, a sudden, unexpected journey into the unknown. One moment, you’re aiming for the green, a paragon of precision and intent. The next, your ball is ricocheting off a tree, narrowly missing a squirrel, and landing, by some divine comedic intervention, closer to the hole than your perfectly struck drive ever would have. Is that not a miracle? Is that not a sign that the golf gods, much like life itself, have a wicked sense of humor?
The key, my dear apprentices of the links, is acceptance. Embrace the shank. Welcome it with open arms, like a long-lost, slightly inebriated relative. When that familiar, sickening thwack echoes through the air, do not despair. Instead, take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Feel the gentle breeze on your face. And then, with a knowing smile, open them and observe the chaos you have wrought. Is it not beautiful in its own chaotic way? Is there not a certain freedom in relinquishing control, in allowing the ball to choose its own destiny, however bizarre that destiny may be?
Some say the shank is a sign of poor technique. I say it’s a sign of a vibrant, untamed spirit. A golfer who never shanks is a golfer who has never truly lived, never truly explored the outer limits of their own golfing absurdity. They are content with mediocrity, with predictable trajectories and mundane outcomes. But you, my enlightened few, you understand that the true joy of golf lies not in the score, but in the story. And what a story a good shank can tell.

So, the next time you feel that familiar tremor of a shank brewing, don’t fight it. Let it flow. Let it be. For in the heart of every shank lies a lesson, a laugh, and perhaps, just perhaps, a path to a lower score you never saw coming. After all, as the great philosopher Basho once said, “A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish.” And a golf game without a shank? Well, that’s just not golf, is it?
