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.

The Road to Bethpage: Anticipation Builds for the U.S. Open’s Return to New York
Bethpage Black looms as the ultimate test of golf’s grit and grace, where the 2025 U.S. Open will challenge the world’s best on one of America’s most feared fairways.

There’s something about Bethpage that makes the heart beat a little faster. Maybe it’s the sign—the infamous warning at the first tee: “The Black Course is an extremely difficult course which we recommend only for highly skilled golfers.” Or maybe it’s the ghosts of past Opens—Phil’s near-miss in 2002, Tiger’s steely win that same year, or the soaked chaos of 2009. Whatever it is, the return of the U.S. Open to Bethpage Black promises a test of grit, patience, and pure golf artistry.
As we count down the weeks, the buzz is building. The New York crowd—famously rowdy, proudly loyal, and brutally honest—is ready. And so are the players, many of whom call a win at Bethpage one of the greatest badges of honor in the game.
This isn’t your average Open venue. Bethpage, a public course with a working-class soul, doesn’t rely on country club prestige. It relies on its teeth—towering rough, penal bunkers, narrow fairways, and greens that demand nerves of steel. This is where champions are forged under pressure, where shot-making and strategy take center stage, and where mistakes are punished with merciless efficiency.
For golf fans, it’s also a spectacle. The energy at Bethpage is electric. It hums with the passion of true golf lovers who’ve stood in line at 4 a.m. just to play it. It’s a place where pros walk the same fairways as weekend warriors, and where every shot is met with a roar—or a groan—that echoes through the Long Island air.
What makes the U.S. Open at Bethpage special isn’t just the course. It’s the drama. The weather. The unpredictability. It’s the way the leaderboard tightens on Saturday and explodes on Sunday. It’s the way golf feels here—gritty, real, and raw.
As the best in the world prepare to battle one of the toughest tracks in America, fans everywhere should be ready for a tournament that will be talked about for years to come. Bethpage doesn’t just host Opens—it defines them.

The 19th Hole: A Philosophical Approach to Post-Round Debauchery
It is here, amidst the clinking of glasses and the murmur of exaggerated tales, that the real game begins.

They say golf is a gentleman’s game, a test of skill and character, played on manicured greens under the benevolent gaze of the sun. And while all that may be true, for me, Ty Webb, the true essence of golf, its very soul, lies not on the fairways or the greens, but in the hallowed halls of the 19th hole. It is here, amidst the clinking of glasses and the murmur of exaggerated tales, that the real game begins.
The 19th hole is more than just a bar; it’s a sanctuary, a confessional, a crucible where the triumphs and tragedies of the day are replayed, dissected, and, more often than not, embellished beyond all recognition. It’s where a triple bogey becomes a heroic struggle against impossible odds, where a shank becomes a strategic maneuver, and where a lost ball becomes a philosophical inquiry into the nature of existence.
Here, the masks come off. The stoic golfer, who maintained an air of unflappable composure throughout 18 holes of torment, suddenly transforms into a garrulous storyteller, eager to recount every missed putt, every lucky bounce, every near-death experience with a rogue golf cart. The quiet observer becomes a boisterous critic, offering unsolicited advice on swings they barely witnessed. And the perpetually frustrated hacker, who spent the entire round cursing the heavens, finds solace in the shared misery of his equally inept companions.
There’s a certain ritual to the 19th hole, a sacred dance of drinks and declarations. The first round is for commiseration, for the collective sigh of relief that another round has been survived. The second is for exaggeration, for the weaving of fantastical narratives that bear only a passing resemblance to reality. And the third, well, the third is for profound philosophical insights, for the sudden realization that the meaning of life can be found in the perfect arc of a well-struck drive, or the subtle nuances of a perfectly poured scotch.
So, the next time you finish a round, don’t rush home. Don’t let the mundane realities of life intrude upon the sacred space of the 19th hole. Instead, pull up a chair, order a drink, and immerse yourself in the glorious debauchery that awaits. For in the laughter, the camaraderie, and the increasingly improbable tales, you will find not only a fitting end to your golfing day, but a deeper, more profound understanding of the human condition. Or at least, a really good buzz.

Sweating It Out: Guide to Playing Golf in the Summer Heat Without Melting Into the Fairway
Learn from Ty Webb on how to play in the heat of the summer without melting into the fairway.

Hey there, sun-soaked swingers of the sticks. Ty Webb here, and today we’re talking about summer golf — you know, that magical time of year when your golf ball flies farther, your shirt clings tighter, and your sunscreen budget could bankrupt a small country.
Playing golf in extreme heat isn’t for the faint of heart… or the faint of hydration. Once the temperature climbs above 90°F, the fairway turns into a frying pan, your putter grip feels like it’s been left in the oven, and you start questioning whether that hazy mirage in the distance is the green or just your sanity evaporating.
The key to summer golf survival? Hydration, shade, and pacing yourself like you’re in a pro-am with a three-hour lunch break. Don’t just drink water — drown in it. Wear light, moisture-wicking clothes (unless you enjoy the sensation of golfing in a wet wool sweater). And for the love of Arnie, apply SPF like you’re frosting a cake.
Now, I know what you’re thinking — “But Ty, won’t all this caution kill my competitive edge?” Not at all. Summer heat golf is all about strategy. Tee off early to beat the worst of the sun, embrace a slower swing to conserve energy, and always, always pick the cart with the best cup holder-to-seat ratio.
And when the last putt drops and you’re peeling yourself off your shirt like a human fruit roll-up, remember: every blister, every sunburn, every suspicious tan line is just proof that you survived the ultimate challenge — golf in summer heat.
So, keep your cool, keep your game sharp, and I’ll see you out there… probably hiding in the cart’s shadow between shots.
