Keegan Bradley booked his ticket to the Tour Championship with a one-shot win at the BMW Championship. The victory moved Bradley to fourth in the season-long FedEx Cup standing as he heads to East Lake Golf Club. His seventh Tour title came with a mixed club setup that features a Ping driver, TaylorMade fairway wood, Callaway utility wood, Srixon irons, Cleveland wedges and an Odyssey putter.
The Srixon Z-Star Diamond ball he used on every shot was developed with Tour feedback and is a worthy option for players looking for a feel between the standard model and VX. Its compression sits in the middle to balance distance and greenside spin.
Take a closer look at Bradley’s winning gear setup.
Hybrid: Callaway Apex UW (Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 80TX shaft), 19 degrees
Callaway Apex Custom Utility Wood
The Apex Utility Wood is the go-to option for the best players on Tour. The unique profile promotes the launch and distance benefits of our high lofted fairway woods, the versatility of Callaway hybrids, along with a more neutral ball flight. It’s a multi-purpose offering that better players can use with confidence off the tee into tight landing areas, out of the fairway into Par-5s, or from the rough.

TOUR-INSPIRED COMPACT, WORKABLE SHAPE & OPTIMIZED LENGTH
The distinct clubhead shaping is inspired by in-depth feedback from Tour pros. They require a compact profile to enhance shot-shaping and improve control. Club lengths are set between a fairway wood and a hybrid, allowing for versatile playability while still being easy to hit.
FAST BALL SPEED FROM BATWING TECHNOLOGY & AN A.I. DESIGNED C300 FACE CUP
The A.I.-designed Batwing structure is pushed to the perimeter to stiffen the body, allowing the high-strength C300 maraging steel face cup to flex for fast ball speeds.
ENHANCED TURF INTERACTION FROM CUTWAVE PRO SOLE
The Apex UW is designed for versatile shot-making. An all-new Cutwave Pro Sole is a streamlined design, engineered specifically to cut through the turf more efficiently.
HIGH LAUNCH, CONSISTENT CONTROL AND TIGHTER DISPERSION
The center of gravity is precisely positioned in a neutral location for an exceptional combination of high launch, steeper landing angles, consistent spin characteristics and reduced draw bias. The Apex UW is an excellent option for better players looking for a more playable hybrid or fairway wood.
To push the limits of your game, you need a ball with all the right ingredients. That’s why the entire Z-STAR Series was designed to deliver tour-level distance, control and feel, from tee to green. Starring a reformulated FastLayer DG Core and improved Spin Skin+ coating, you, too, can experience the formula trusted by Major Champions when wins are on the line.
FASTLAYER DG CORE
The trade-off is age-old: hard cores are fast, soft cores are slow. But the firmer a golf ball, the harsher it feels at impact, which can reduce your confidence when the pressure is on. That’s why our new FastLayer DG Cores are soft at the center and get firmer from the inside out. The contrasting compression helps them rebound quicker off the face for incredible distance while still providing exceptional feel.
NEW SPIN SKIN+ COATING
This micronic layer of specialized urethane increases the cover’s degree of friction for even more spin and control.
THIN, PREMIUM COVER
Every Z-STAR Series golf ball features an extra thin, thermoplastic urethane cover to provide tour-level stopping power around the greens.
SPEED DIMPLE PATTERN
With their deep dimensions, the 338 Speed Dimples on each Z-STAR Series golf ball punch through air for a penetrating launch. Once aloft, the dimples generate lift, driving the ball upward toward its peak and maximizing glide distance during descent. When conditions get tough and the winds reach high speeds, the 338 Speed Dimples’ low drag coefficient helps the ball stay on target through the moving air and maintain distance in headwinds.

The MCC Plus4™ is a tour-proven, hybrid golf grip featuring a larger lower hand and new softer rubber material. The MCC Plus4 simulates 4 additional wraps of tape on the lower hand to encourages lighter grip pressure, reduced tension, and increased power.
