Welcome back to another installment of the Lead Tape Report!

Let’s get right to it.

Maverick McNealy

As seen before on the Lead Tape Report, but a little more in depth this time, Maverick McNealy with his TaylorMade P7CB irons covered in the silver stuff. We commonly see hand-stamping with initials for names or inside jokes, but this is the large stamp in the middle for his name. A strong look. We can also see his TaylorMade 52-degree MG4 wedge along with his Cleveland RTX wedges. Another cool thing here is the head cover setup. With Maverick being a pilot and having a love for hockey, it’s a perfect representation of his passions off the course. Mav is coming off a 3rd place finish at the RBC Heritage last season.

Kurt Kitayama

Kurt arrives at Hilton Head for his third playing of the RBC Heritage. He came in 33rd last go around in 2024. Another thing he has going is a set of TaylorMade P7MB irons but we see some lead tape on the P7CB 4 iron. Dating back to July 2025, we can also see some tape on the 8-iron. This is a bag that spans multiple brands and another instance of golf club free agency. Another thing I see here is a number of bag tag looking objects here, not only provide a little character for the bag. But also double as potential hole locations during practice rounds. That is a case of fashion and performance.

Brian Harman

Well, what do we have here? Our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, brought out the telephoto lens and spotted something new in Brian Harman’s hands this week on the range. The 633BH Titleist iron. Harman adds his name to the short list of players with their initials on the hosel for a custom style of Titleist iron, like we have seen with Justin Thomas, Wyndham Clark and Cameron Young over the years. But not only is there a custom look to these irons for Harman, there is also a custom feel. We have spotted the Titleist logo’d lead tape on the back of these cavity back irons as well. We will have the monitor whether these make it into the bag this week at the RBC Heritage. 

Billy Horschel

Billy Horschel enters the Lead Tape Report for the first time. What caught my eye is the Titleist TSi2 fairway wood. This 2020 model has a lead tape on the toe of the club. The 15-degree fairway metal is set at the C1 setting, which aims for -.75 degree flat in lie angle and -.75 in loft. The flatter setting on lie angle and lower loft, Horschel doesn’t mind have a slight fade bias on this club or keeping it lower in trajectory. Horschel is 9 of 12, making the cut at Harbor Town, his best finish being a tie for 5th in 2018. Last year, he came in tied for 27th.

Akshay Bhatia

Last time we say Akshay’s clubs, it was for the winning WITB at Bay Hill and the Lead Tape Report from The Players Championship. Noticing a couple of cool details and some fresh wedges in the bag. On his Callaway Rogue driver, we can see a permanent marker with the word “Gamer” written on it. It is just that, and it’s cool to see the tape placed on the heel and toe for more club head weight. When it comes to wedges, we can see he has some new Callaway Opus SP wedges, raw finish, but new hand stamping with a tribute to the win at Bay Hill. A nice way to get some fresh grooves and a reminder of a big win on the PGA Tour. Finally, we see a thick layer of tape slathered on the 60-08C grind wedge. The wedges are played with the KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 135 X shaft with Iomic grips. This will be Akshay’s fourth time playing in the RBC Heritage, with his best finish a tied for 18th in 2024.
