Okay, so I got curious about what Cameron Smith actually carries in his golf bag. You see him play, especially that short game, and you just wonder what tools he’s using, right? It wasn’t like some official assignment, just me wanting to figure it out piece by piece.
First thing I did was just watch him more closely during broadcasts. You pause the screen a lot, try to catch glimpses when they zoom in on the bag or when he pulls a club. It’s harder than you think, the coverage doesn’t always cooperate.
Digging into the Details
So, watching wasn’t enough. I started looking through photos from recent tournaments. You know, those galleries photographers post? Spent a good bit of time zooming in, trying to make out logos and head shapes. It’s like detective work, honestly.
Here’s what I pieced together through watching and looking at pictures:
- Driver: Looked like one of those black Titleist heads for a long time. Recently, seemed he might have switched things up, maybe trying out different stuff. Hard to keep track sometimes, these guys tinker.
- Fairway Woods: Usually see a couple in there. Again, looked like Titleist gear mostly. You try and guess the lofts based on when he pulls them out on the course.
- Irons: This was interesting. He had those Titleist blades, the black ones, for a while. Real classic look. Then I noticed he mixed it up sometimes, maybe a different model in the longer irons. Takes effort to spot the exact models, they change subtly.
- Wedges: Big part of his game. Definitely saw those Vokey wedges. Multiple lofts, naturally. You see him work magic around the greens, and you pay attention to what he’s hitting. Looked like he had specific grinds, judging by how he hits certain shots.
The Putter Situation
Ah, the putter. That’s usually the star of the show for Cam. Spent ages trying to get a clear view of it. It’s obviously that Scotty Cameron blade style he’s famous for. You see it in his hands, and you know it’s part of his success. Looked like an older model, one he’s stuck with, which tells you something about feel and trust.
Putting it all Together
So, after all that looking and pausing and zooming, I got a pretty good picture. It wasn’t like reading a spec sheet; it was more like building a profile based on observation. You see the brands, you see the types of clubs, and you get a feel for why he might choose them.
It’s mainly Titleist stuff, top to bottom, which isn’t surprising. But the specific models, the mix in the irons, the trusty putter – that’s the stuff you pick up by paying attention over time. It’s a practical setup, nothing too crazy, just solid gear that clearly works for his game. Took a bit of time, but it was kind of fun figuring it all out bit by bit.
