So, I’ve been messing around with my golf gear lately, trying to get everything dialed in just right. I’m no pro, but I like to think I know a thing or two about what works for me on the course. Today, I’m gonna break down what I’ve learned from copying Rickie Fowler’s setup – you know, the “Rickie Fowler WITB” thing.
First off, I spent a good chunk of time researching what Fowler’s been using. Gotta start somewhere, right? It is not difficult to find out about his bag setup. I dug through all sorts of articles and forum posts, just trying to get a solid idea of his go-to clubs.
Driver and Woods
Okay, so the driver. Fowler’s been rocking with a new driver, and let me tell you, after trying it out, I get the hype. It just feels…different. Like, it is easier to hit the sweet spot. I played around with the settings, messing with the weights and loft, until I found that sweet spot where my drives were just flying straight and far.
Now, for the fairway woods, Fowler’s got this Cobra Aerojet three-wood and a Cobra LTDx five-wood. He likes them because they keep the ball flight low and reduce spin. Since he swings super fast, this helps him get extra distance. Tried them out myself, and yeah, they’re pretty sweet. Lower ball flight, not as much spin. I could definitely feel the difference, especially when I was trying to reach those par 5s in two. It’s not easy, but with these, I have a little bit more hope.
Putter
Then there’s the putter. Fowler’s using this L.A.B. DF3 thing. It’s designed so that when you set it up behind the ball, it wants to stay square to your putting line. It felt a bit weird at first, but after a few practice sessions, I started to get it. I’m not gonna lie, my putting’s been a bit shaky lately, so I was willing to try anything.
- Driver: New model, adjustable weights and loft.
- Fairway Woods: Cobra Aerojet 3-wood, Cobra LTDx 5-wood. Low flight, low spin.
- Putter: L.A.B. DF3. Lie Angle Balance technology.
I spent hours on the putting green, just getting a feel for this new putter. It definitely took some getting used to, but I think it’s starting to pay off. My putting feels more consistent now, like I have more control over where the ball is going. And that’s what matters, right?
So, yeah, that’s my little experiment with trying to copy Rickie Fowler’s bag. It’s been a fun process, and I feel like I’ve learned a lot about my own game in the process. Of course, what works for him might not work for everyone, but it’s definitely worth a shot. It was a good starting point and gave me some solid ideas. You never know, you might just find your new favorite club!
