Bryson DeChambeau reveals the unique weight distribution in his new ‘mystery’ LA Golf irons

Published

on

Over the past few weeks, speculation has grown over Bryson DeChambeau’s new ‘mystery’ LA Golf irons that he has been spotted with in 2025 but yet to put in play in a tournament.

Now in a recent video with Garrett Clark from Good Good, DeChambeau not only showcased his new irons, but also gave a fascinating breakdown of the clubs which feature a very unique weight distribution concept.

Within the video, Bryson explains how he essentially wanted a better COG (Center of Gravity) location for the entire club and not just the clubhead.

In Bryson’s words from the video (which you can watch below, he starts discussing the new irons at around the 11th minute mark).

“There’s about a 100 grams of Tungsten weight in the toe. So this is just a different design, it’s hollowed out on the heel, weight on the toe, to offset the heaviness of the shaft and the grip. 

“So moved the COG back to the middle. So when they take the head off the COG is right in the middle of the face, they build it for that. But then you have to attach a shaft and a grip and it moves the COG to the heel. So we’ve offset that with the weight, we’ve moved it back towards the toe. So now the center is now dead in the middle.”

Bryson then demonstrates while hanging the club, saying:

“So when you hang it and you start touching the middle of the face, tapping the middle of the face, the face doesn’t open. But when you hit the toe, that opens. And the heel closes it (when you tap it). So now it’s dead in the middle, and if you have another iron the COG will be more towards the heel.

“It depends on how much weight is in the shaft and the grip. There’s a lot of weight, that’s why I have to have so much over here. But it’s just a cool design iteration.”

Here’s what some of our members have been saying regarding the concept, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • ChaosTheory: “He’s trying to make it so that the center of the face is much closer in line with the COG of the finished club than ever before.   On one hand it makes sense.  OTOH, golf physics nerds used to say the head should be treated as if it were on a string, not a shaft.  That always bugged me, because of course the shaft and grip have weight.  And that weight is a factor in the collision with the ball. It probably won’t go anywhere but we shall see.”
  • WristySwing: “Seems like a really cool idea. I cannot imagine these would be cheap (if they ever make it to mass production). I know BD gets a lot of heat because of his weird tendencies, but most of the crap he says when it comes to fitting and clubs makes a lot of sense. It is just really difficult to implement.”
  • adamwon84: “I saw the video and the idea is pretty interesting. I wouldn’t mind giving these a swing, the idea behind them sounds great but you never know if it will actually work out in person.”

    We swing the shaft , not the clubhead, which is offset from the centerline of the shaft. Seems to me it makes sense to have COG in the hosel.
    The hosel and clubface are an additional lever.

    Yes Brandon. Edel wedges too. And Taylormade or Nike tried it with their blades one year, but the feedback from tour players was negative because they all hit the ball where the old CoM was.

    Isn’t that the same concept as the original Cleveland Zipcore wedges?

    Lucky guy. Since he doesn’t have to worry about playing well to earn a massive living, he can experiment to his hearts content.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
