TBS Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 If I was an equipment company, I would stay far away from Bryson. The amount of resources you would have to put forward to R&D to make a driver that fits Bryson would take a lot of time, money, and people. Full recap of what happened - in Bryson's post round interview (https://twitter.com/theopen/status/1415699970276139010?s=21) he says the "driver sucks" and mishits result in really bad shots. Golfweek then gets a Cobra rep to comment on his statement. The rep who goes into detail about what they are having to do to work with Bryson. People are actively CAD'ing to get him a better driver. At what point is Cobra not seeing ROI when Bryson demands so much? What they design for him would never touch a shelf in a big box store. aerospace_ray, Vegan_Golfer_PNW, PMookie and 4 others 7 Quote M6 12* Oban Kiyoshi Purple 65g stiff TS2 16.5* HL Oban Kiyoshi Purple 75g stiff G410 Hybrid 19* Tour stiff i210 KBS tour stiff 4-GW 54* RTX Zipcore 58* glide 3.0 TP Black Copper Juno 34in Oncore elixr or Snell MTBx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy MPR Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 A few thoughts: Based on everything I've read, Bryson is amazing at finding the center of the face. I believe Tony Covey has tweeted things to this effect. That means he's not asking for a driver that saves drives that he's hitting all over the face. That said: he's playing a 5° driver and approaching 200mph of ball speed. There just isn't legal equipment (and in my opinion, there shouldn't be) that eliminates the prospect of giant misses there. Bryson nearly single-handedly created a niche product market for single-length irons. Nope, almost no one is playing the same clubs he's playing (and no one should). But I'd love to see what happens to One Length iron sales each time he wins. I wonder if that alone is worth keeping him on.

I am just saying in the context of winning this tournament (which then is a bad idea for anyone to change what they do best). I love his unicorn style. it is great for the game IMO. He also is forcing Cobra (and others) to really get down to the physics of their designs. I wonder if he is at a tour van now, hot melting his driver in the heel and lofting up to 6* to give him the draw bias he would like?

KC Golf Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I really don't see the trickle down of Bryson based technology to the mainstream golfer. May be I am too pessimistic, but its hard to see it working out for Cobra.

Bryson's swing is so unique in almost every facet that it would be only a fluke if it had any significant impact for average golfers. If I'm understanding Bryson correctly, he's only talking about work Cobra has done with the face tech of the driver. This doesn't have much to do with his unusual swing: the issue is how forgiving can you make a face that is also designed for absolute max ball speed. While the specific face build they end up with for Bryson won't have much use for me, I imagine there will be things that they learn about face tech that might.

GolfSpy_SHARK Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Sounds like there may be some behind the scenes things he is dealing with. While Bryson doesnt really hold back comments this sounds like A) a frustrating round compounded by B) those behind the scenes issues he is dealing with.

03trdblack Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 F1 drivers blame their cars all the time whether it's really a mechanical issue or not. It pushes engineers to make the car better and better and that eventually trickles down into the regular cars we purchase. It's the same here and we will all benefit from what Cobra is learning from Bryson's constant envelope pushing. Don't get me wrong, I don't really align with Bryson's personality but he's the face of Cobra now and they have to roll with it. I'm sure there will be some great internal meetings at Cobra to discuss further and I'm sure Bryson will post some sort of apology and life will move on. fozcycle and MaxEntropy 2 Quote My bag is a revolving door!

Popular Post bens197 Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 There are plenty of guys on Tour who are pains in the rear with their club specs and rightfully so. Just look up Bubba and his 14 layers of tape… When you consider how competitive it has become, I would want my tools to be absolutely precise. I mean, we have 9 handicaps on this forum who tinker with clubs as much as some Tour players. At the end of the day, Cobra signed him knowing full well what he was all about.

HeathS16 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I am not a huge fan of Bryson and I feel he needs to realize that if you are going to push the boundaries of ball speed and equipment it might take some time for manufacturers to streamline it. Seems a bit tone deaf to be saying this after a round, definitely sounds more like a frustration point. That being said he has certainly garnered more attention on golf, we basically talk about everything that he does each week!

GolfSpy_APH Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Just to quickly add my two cents in. I think he is unhappy with the wrong company... In the last two majors I've seen him loose grip on footwork several times slipping as he is trying to swing for the heavens. Considering if that happened to me I would end up on my face or whiffing on the ball completely I would say his driver is doing a respectable job.

MaxEntropy Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I'm not a fan of BAD, at all, and this is yet another episode that does not change my mind. I really like the analogy to F1 (win on Sunday, sell on Monday) - especially with the prima-donna drivers that won't accept fault for anything. Bryson having a bad time getting a good driver? Maybe he's not communicating well enough to the R&D guys? Maybe he's not as smart as he thinks he is so he is speaking nonsense to the tech guys who really understand engineering? Who knows, but it was not a very professional way to air his grievances. sirchunksalot, tony@CIC, GolfSpy_SHARK and 3 others 6 Quote Driver: Epic Speed 9* (set -1) MMT 70X 3W: Tour B JGR Recoil 760ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-AW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 SW: RTX Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: TAIII Black 58* Putter: Scottsdale TR Senita Bag: BigMax Dri Active Lite Ball: TP5x or AVX (yellow) Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Testing Complete, Final Review Posted: Sub70 TAIII Forged Wedges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook DeLoft Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 It sounds like he wants the driver to somehow account for his misses. When Ben Hogan couldn't keep it on the golf course in his early career, he changed his swing. tommc23, tony@CIC and HardcoreLooper 3 Quote 14 of the following: Ping G430 Max 10.5 degree Callaway 2023 Big Bertha 3 wood set to 17 degrees Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees Callaway Epic Max 11 wood Ping Eye 2 BeCu 2-SW Mizuno 923 JPX HM HL 6-GW Hogan sand wedge 56 degree bent to 53 Maltby M Series+ 54 degree Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree Ping Glide 3.0 60 degree Evnroll ER2 Ping Sigma 2 Anser Cheap Top Flite mallet putter from Dick's, currently holding down first place in the bag TaylorMade Mini Spider Bridgestone XS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russtopherb Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 That's not an apology. That's an "oh crap I'm very close to costing myself a LOT of money so I better have my agent write something for me ASAP" statement.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 4 hours ago, GolfSpy MPR said: This is a good point. That said, his caddie got on the bag knowing what he was about as well. I will add this, because I had to look it up: Bryson is almost certainly bringing money into Cobra on irons: Source: https://mygolfspy.com/cobra-radspeed-irons/ Yeah. I was going to post that info as well. When I attended the 2021 RadSpeed launch they really went into detail talking about how one length sales are growing at unexpected numbers every year. They aren’t going to sell 5 degree drivers But they are selling a ton of OL irons. I think it’s fair to say Bryson exposure of OL irons is more important to Cobra than any iron played by any other Tour Pro. Because they are all essentially the same thing One Length is an entire product of its own, that no other major company offers Cobra needs Bryson, like him or not I suspect this is a bit of a speed bump that both sides will get over. All that said, I’d pay a lot of money to be a fly on the wall in Koepka’s rental house tonight tommc23, HardcoreLooper, Vegan_Golfer_PNW and 4 others 3 4 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
