His clubhead velocity (averaging approximately 124 miles per hour) hasn’t transformed because his novice time in 2024, when he was actually T48th in SG: OTT, and also he’s still top-10 in steering span on each evaluated travels plus all travels.
But what has actually transformed is actually an around six-point boost in Gotterup’s steering reliability, and also a great deal of it is obligated to pay to a button to the Ping G440 LST driver. Gotterup has actually consistently wanted Sound motorists as a result of the reliability of the system, Sound Trip Agent Kenton Oates informed GOLF. He recently participated in a G430 LST.
“The 430 LST was actually great for Chris, however still, if everything, possessed an added right overlook sometimes that he carried out certainly not such as,” Oates claimed. “The G440 style invites taken that away, which was actually the primary cause for changing.”
The enhancement of a 7.5˚ head to the G440 LST line enabled Gotterup to play his motorist in the much more neutral “Dot” benting on Sound’s hosel adapter, permitting him an even more unbiased skin and also creating it less complicated to begin the round left behind for his trademark vanish.
In addition to Movements Obtained, Gotterup is actually balancing profession highs in Steering Span (321.7 gardens) and also is actually merely under the profession higher in reliability (55.75%) he specified in 2013.

Gotterup is actually an incredible instance of just how the present day gamer has actually inclined the little motorist. While the main try design along with his motorist is actually a hairstyle, the mini motorist’s smaller sized profile page permits him to transform it over less complicated without quiting as long as a 3-wood.
“The BRNR Mini provides him an extremely details round tour,” TaylorMade Trip Agent Adrian Rietveld claimed. “It supplies extraordinary command coming from the tee while still supplying sufficient velocity when he requires it. For sure golf links, it fills up a void that a standard motorist or even 3-wood doesn’t fairly deal with.”
Gotterup substituted this driver along with his older TaylorMade RSi TP 1-iron for his Scottish Open victory in 2013, however it shows up that was actually additionally the final opportunity he gamed that nightclub.
PERFORMANCE FOR THE MODERN PLAYER
Inspired by one of the most iconic models in TaylorMade history, the R7 Quad Mini Driver pays homage to what’s come before, while creating its own modern identity in the same breath. It’s that very modern design that incorporates proven TaylorMade technologies to give golfers versatility and playability.
R7 QUAD WEIGHTING SYSTEM
The new quad weighting system features four movable weights (13g x2, 4g x2) that provide the ultimate in spin management and shot shape control. Forward CG creates a penetrating flight best suited for maximizing distance whereas rear CG helps prioritize control and ease of use from the deck. Shot shape can also be fine-tuned helping create the most optimal flight. Additional weights can be purchased for a wider range of adjustability.
INFINITY CARBON CROWN
A new satin Infinity Carbon Crown has been added to the R7 Quad Mini Driver chassis creating a stunning look while saving weight for better mass optimization. The cosmetic package is clean, elegant, and confidence-inspiring.

This is the part of the bag that changes the most depending on the course setup. While the 7-wood was in the bag for Gotterup’s most recent win at the John Deere Classic earlier this month, it was the 3-iron that saw action last week and will likely be called upon again this week.
The 3-iron comes into play when the course demands lower flight, more rollout and precision off the tee, Rietveld said. “It’s an excellent option in firm conditions or when positioning is more important than maximum carry.
“The 5- and 7-woods are chosen when Chris expects to hit more long approach shots or needs additional stopping power into greens. The higher launch angle and steeper landing angle allow him to attack pins from longer distances.
“It’s less about one club being better than another and more about building the best 14-club setup for the challenges each golf course presents.”
With his fairway woods specifically, Gotterup also prefers square face angles, rather than open, and prioritizes turf interaction and spin to make sure he can hold fairways and greens in firm conditions.

Chris Gotterup is the only player on the PGA Tour using Bridgestone’s 220 MB irons. He’s also not contractually obligated to play them.
When Gotterup signed with Bridgestone, he wanted to remain a free agent for clubs so he could play whatever performed best. To Bridgestone, that actually made him the ideal candidate to put in their new 220 series irons, which were released just ahead of his PGA Tour rookie season. They were the first clubs the company had released in North America in five years.
Gotterup’s contract with Bridgestone doesn’t require him to play any clubs, but there are incentives if he does. He initially started testing the 221 CBs in the past finding success with the 220 MB.
“The boy loves to cut the ball. He likes to fight it. So the MBs work very well for him,” Rehberg said. “We worked through a lot… different grinds, taking different weights off the hosel and adding, and got him to a good place where he feels comfortable.”
One of those customizations includes his KBS C-Taper 130 X shafts being inserted 2 mm deeper into the head and using a longer ferrule to help stiffen the shaft tip. Bridgestone’s Tour Director Todd Corum said that it helps keep Gotterup’s spin in check and tightens his dispersion.
Gotterup loves to tinker and is constantly checking the lofts and lies of his irons, which is key given his steep delivery.

Gotterup has played TaylorMade wedges since his college days.
Rietveld calls it a great example of a player choosing equipment purely for performance reasons.
“The scoring clubs are where players develop enormous trust,” he said. “Chris has complete confidence in the look, feel and consistency of the MG5 wedges. Distance control, trajectory management and spin consistency are everything inside 120 yards, and he feels MG5 continues to deliver exactly what he wants. Tour players don’t switch wedges for the sake of it — they switch because performance improves.”
That’s exactly what happened when TaylorMade brought out the MG5 wedges. Gotterup switched from his MG4s to the MG Protos last summer and then moved seamlessly into the MG5 later in 2025.
“We spent time comparing launch, spin rates, carry numbers, dispersion and, equally importantly, his feedback on feel,” Rietveld said. “Around the greens we evaluated how the club interacted with different turf conditions, rough and bunker sand because those are often the deciding factors.
“Once Chris saw the performance benefits and, just as importantly, developed trust in what he was seeing, the transition became very natural.”
FORGED FEEL
Incredible feel is a must for having a great wedge game. MG5 has been forged from soft carbon steel and designed with geometry to provide excellent feel with great feedback.
MAXIMUM SPIN
MG5 uses all-new, more aggressive grooves designed to maximize spin. Saw-milled grooves produce tighter tolerances allowing engineers to design steeper walls and sharper radii intended to maximize spin in both dry and damp conditions.
PERFORMANCE IN ALL CONDITIONS
RAW face with Spin Tread technology channels away moisture to help retain spin. The same way that tire treads help your car stay connected to the road, laser-etched channels redirect water at impact and creates more friction between the club face and golf ball to maintain spin in wet conditions.
CRAFTSMANSHIP MEETS CONSISTENCY
Crafted by hand and then milled to perfection. Each wedge and sole grind are precision-milled to eliminate the natural human error that comes with hand polishing. Our grinds deliver unmatched consistency and craftsmanship that players can count on every time.
CHARCOAL FINISH
MG5 debuts a sleek, sophisticated charcoal finish that reduces glare and enhances its aesthetic appeal in the bag.

This season, Gotterup has seen a dramatic uptick in his Strokes Gained: Putting, going from outside the top-100 on the PGA Tour the past two seasons, to 27th this year, picking up .376 shots on the field.
A lot of that improvement can be owed to switching from a previous-generation Spider Tour X to a 2025 Spider Tour X Black with a short line at the 2025 U.S. Open.
Gotterup holds his putter very vertically at setup, so finding something that soles properly on the ground can be a challenge.
“For most of that year prior to the U.S. Open, we would test different putters in order to find one that sat correctly on the turf,” TaylorMade putter rep James Holley said.”We were able to match the face angle of the old Spider with the new Black. And with the short line and no TruePath he lined it up better with his hand position.”
Holley said they’ve tried putters with more upright lie angles, but that usually ends up throwing off Gotterup’s wrist angles and rotation in the stroke.
The putter has lead tape caked on the sole instead of heavier weights because Gotterup wanted the weight spread out evenly as opposed to a deeper CG that the heavier backweights would cause.
SPIDER TOUR X L-NECK
For nearly two decades Spider putters have been delivering championship-winning stability and performance to professionals and amateurs alike. Scottie Scheffler recently joined this group by stepping into the winner’s circle for the third time in four starts with a Spider Tour X L-Neck in the bag.
