Welcome to Fully Fit 2026, GOLF’s new platform for providing you with real-golfer insights into what 2026 gear might be best suited for your game. To this end, we assembled six GOLF content creators of varying abilities and ran them through the gauntlet of six full-bag fittings (driver to putter!) at six major club manufacturers in Phoenix and Carlsbad, Calif. Our hope: that you might see shades of your own game in one of our panelists’ and take some learnings and inspiration from their fitting experiences. In this installment (below), GOLF Content Manager for Gear and New Equipment Jake Morrow runs you through his new bag. You may browse our other panelists’ 2026 dream bags here:

About my game:
Right now my game is in the best spot it’s ever been. I have gotten down to a scratch handicap for the first time ever, and I don’t feel like I am going to slow down any time soon. My golf season is really broken down into an opener at BryanGolf’s Battle at the Beach tournament (which I am up against Johnny Wunder this year) and an end-of-season tournament in BryanGolf’s Player’s Cup (a Ryder Cup-style event that we take very seriously). The biggest thing I think I lacked in 2025 was the ability to consistently hit greens. While that made my scrambling stats go sky high, I’d much rather find more comfort in my irons and wedges and create some less stressful chances for birdies.
My golf goals for 2026
I am a scratch golfer who has never broken par on a true test of a golf course, including my own home course. That is the only goal that matters this year.

What I learned from 6 fittings in 9 days!
I think my experience with this whole process was a bit different than the rest of the group. I was only about 50% concerned with my own bag and 50% concerned with following Sean and Maddi around for most of the trip. As new people to the experience, I wanted to make sure they got any guidance they needed, but it was also a cool way to sort of see things through a new lens. I did learn a couple of things about my own game, my own preferences, and also, my own needs in a fitting.
The single most important lesson for me was realizing that if I completely ignore any ego, my fits are quicker, more fun, and perform better. What I mean is that I used to get stuck in a moment where I didn’t want to be very direct in my fittings. I didn’t want to argue with the fitter or give too much input, so the fitter felt like I was sort of fighting back or trying to guide my own fittings. The truth is, though, that was doing me a huge disservice. So for this entire trip, my goal was to get fit in as few swings as possible. If I didn’t like something in the first couple of swings, I just handed it right back. This actually helped my fittings more than I could have thought it would. Weirdly, they also made it more fun. I got to have some really care-free moments with the fitters. Lots of laughs together about me handing things back quickly, and we also took some opportunity to get a little bit more creative with combinations. We knew that I wasn’t going to take a ton of swings, so why not throw a couple of swings at some “odd” combinations and see what happens?
Finally, every OEM makes really good stuff. I could genuinely play a full bag of clubs from each OEM we visited without having too much of a problem. That’s something I have been waiting to say for quite a while. There would be some personal pros and cons to each, but the truth is, with a little bit of TLC in certain areas, they would work out just fine for the game. Luckily though… I don’t have to.

My 2026 Fully Fit Dream Bag
(One important note here: I have access to lots and lots of gear in my wonderful job. This article, and the Fully Fit process is only going to include the clubs that we got fit for on the trip. Yes, I even committed to something outside my five-year relationship with the Toulon Chicago. I even changed the GOLF BALL. I will have numerous WITB updates over the course of the year as I test others and bring in some other OEMs as well. But for now, for Fully Fit 2026, here’s the bag.)

The 1 club I can’t live without:
The biggest surprise to me over the course of the entire trip was that I found a 3-wood I feel I can actually succeed with. Not only that, but the way we got to the final result was with components I would never have thought to put together.
I ended up in a TaylorMade Qi4D Core 15º set to LOWER on the sleeve (to 13.5º) using a Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black 75 TX shaft. My first thought was, “Why the hell would I end up in a 1K Black for a fairway wood?” A 1K Pro Blue, or a Diamana BB would make sense in my head, but never would I have thought to throw a 1K Black in there.
The results spoke for themselves. It was an absolute rocket off the deck that I could work both ways in the air, and off the tee it gave me the same accuracy and dependability that I have found in a mini driver for the past couple of years.
I have been really, really keen on finding a good 3-wood for the bag. I don’t need that shot off the deck very often, but when I have the chance to unleash it, I do get very upset that I don’t have the club in the bag. As of right now, for 2026, that’s definitely changing thanks to this unicorn build from Duane and the TaylorMade staff at the Kingdom.

Why it’s in my bag: If you have been following any of my content in recent years, you know that I am a massive fan of the Wilson Staff Model X golf ball, and choosing something else was probably the most maddening decision of this trip for me. However, the one ball that stood out above the rest was the 2026 Callaway Chrome Tour X. We did a great video out at Omni La Costa that gives some great insights into why the ball has intrigued me as much as it does, and it has only continued to do so. I have lots more questions about why this ball performs, but for now, it’s in the bag with more testing to come.

ALSO AVAILABLE AT: PGA Tour Superstore, Callaway
Why it’s in my bag: I actually actively tried NOT to have this one in my bag this year. There are two other drivers in the Cobra OPTM X or the TaylorMade Qi4D that I could absolutely play with zero hesitation, but I’ve been playing a Callaway player’s driver for the better part of the last decade, and this just feels like home. It looks like a Callaway, it sounds and feels like a Callaway, and it’s FAST. Even on my bad days, the Callaway has given me the fastest ball speeds out of the bunch that I tested this year. I am still juggling the TD and the TD MAX, but I can’t really go wrong with either. A lot of the decision for what travels to Battle at the Beach is going to be based on some more on-course testing with both heads, but regardless of which head I choose, I know I’m going to be hitting the ball just a touch farther this year than I did last year.
1 key data point: Ball speed. I touched 170 with this several times in testing. As I gear up to get back to 170 on a consistent basis, I feel like I’m going to get there a little faster with this one.
Mini Driver

Shaft: Diamana D-Limited 70 TX
Loft: 13.5º

Callaway Elyte Custom Mini Driver
View Product
ALSO AVAILABLE AT: PGA Tour Superstore, Callaway
Why it’s in my bag: I’m a big Mini Driver fan. As I stated above, I don’t really find myself in much need of a true 3W other than off the tee, so the concept of a mini driver just works. Super accurate, dependable, and the Elyte specifically fits my needs really well. The Elyte is a bit spinnier than others are, and I’ve built it really, really short with a heavier shaft so it fulfills a specific job. I essentially built a big 5-wood. I want it to carry about 250 yards floating and not roll out past about 265. I can also manipulate the Elyte Mini a bit better than I can some of the other mini drivers on the market, so that’s been helpful as well. Something like the R7 or the Cobra just goes too far.
1 key data point: Spin. All the other minis that I’ve tried are closer to driver numbers than they are to numbers that help for a secondary tee shot. The Elyte, however, spins. I keep it around 4,000 rpms to give myself a really nice flight window with room to work the ball both ways, as well as up and down with ease. If I need to bunt one to roll, I can kill spin, and if I really need to float one, I can very easily send it to the moon with a nice spinny little slice.

Why it’s in my bag: As I mentioned above, it’s honestly just because I can hit it. I did find a couple of others during testing that could have worked, but none of them gave me the big off-the-deck performance that the TaylorMade Qi4D did. And, it doesn’t hurt that last year I played the Qi35 5-wood for most of the year, and that was an easy switch (that we’ll talk about next), and it’s nice to have the same visual in both fairway woods in the bag.
1 key data point: This is a pretty easy one. I actually hit the center of the face and the ball goes up in the air.
5-wood
Head: TaylorMade Qi4D
Shaft: UST Lin-Q Red Proto V1 8 TX
Loft: 18º
FCT Hosel Setting: 1 Click lower
Length: 42″
Tipping: 1.5″
Swingweight: D2

ALSO AVAILABLE AT: PGA Tour Superstore, TaylorMade
Why it’s in my bag: This was the simplest fit I had the entire trip. I was simply upgrading from a Qi35 to the Qi4D. I put my Lin-Q Red 8TX into the Qi4D head, took one swing and Duane and I looked at each other and said, “Just a head swap then?” and we moved on with the fit. Is it better than the Qi35? I honestly couldn’t tell ya. But it does what my Qi35 does. Goes high. Goes left. And it doesn’t get mad at me when I get a bit too steep on the ball.
1 key data point: It’s newer than my Qi35.
Driving Iron
Head: Ping iDi #3
Shaft: Ping Tour 2.0 Black 90 X-Stiff
Loft: 20º
Lie: Black Color Code – 59º
Length: 39.25″
Swingweight: C9+
PING iDi Custom Driving Iron
View Product
ALSO AVAILABLE AT: PGA Tour Superstore
Why it’s in my bag: I haven’t had a driving iron in the bag for a while. I’ve toyed with the Mizuno FliHi (the new one is really good, fyi) and the older Ping iCrossover (of which I was internally at Ping called the biggest fan of), but they just didn’t really stick after I found love in the Qi35 5-wood and a Ping G440 hybrid. When we tested the iDi, though, it just felt super easy. I could choke up and hit low cutty fairway finders or play it at length and hit super high draws. It also feels much better off the face than you would expect it to. I have to give credit to Adam Harding on the Ping PGA Tour truck for this. He’s the one who told me that I absolutely needed to hit it, and that’s really the only reason that I did when we went for our fittings. Turns out, he was correct.
1 key data point: Not really a data point per say, but how easy it is to change flights is what ended up selling me. The one downside to hybrids is that they are sort of one-trick ponies. Into the wind, or shots where you have to make a certain flight happen, aren’t really their strong suit. The iDi checks that box.
Irons
Model: Cobra 3DP Tour, Cobra 3DP MB
Set composition: 4, 5-GW
Shafts: Project X 6.5

Loft: 34º 7-Iron

Cobra 3DP MB Custom Irons
View Product
ALSO AVAILABLE AT: PGA Tour Superstore, Cobra
Why they’re in my bag: I’ve played the Cobra King CB/MB set for the better part of the last 4 years, and putting the 3DP MB in the bag was a no-brainer. It gives me the turf interaction, size, and relative shape of the MB that I love with forgiveness that exceeds the CBs that I love. It’s a fairly easy switch to end up with these in the bag for me. We decided to throw a 3DP Tour 5-iron in the top end of the bag for just a touch more forgiveness, but really it’s for easier tee shots on longer par 3s. I may actually end up doing a little bit of custom work to the sole on that one, but more to come on that if I get the opportunity.
1 key data point: Forgiveness. At the beginning of this, I mentioned that the weakest part of my game is iron play on the course. These are going to and have already helped me with that. I have tried a ton of irons this year, with sneaky contenders in the Wilson Staff Model CBs, but the Cobras just continue to prove their worth every time I test. It’s not about the good ones, it’s about the bad ones. And the bad ones from these can be just as good as the good ones from others. It’s a no-brainer in forgiveness.
Wedges
Heads: Cobra King RAW
Lofts/grinds: 50V (Custom Grind) 56W (Custom Grind), 60T (Custom Grind)
Shafts: Nippon Tour Modus 125 Wedge
Length: 35.5″
Lie: 2º Flat
Cobra KING Custom Wedge
View Product
ALSO AVAILABLE AT: PGA Tour Superstore, Cobra
Why they’re in my bag: I had a very fortunate opportunity to work with both Jose Miraflor and Cobra tour rep Ben Schomin on this set of wedges. With the 50 and the 56º, we took off just a little bit of the toe and the heel, and we also gave the leading edge a bit more of a blunt shape, and slightly squared off. My primary use for the 56º is on full shots, or out of the bunker, so something with a bit more of a ski effect on the leading edge was really helpful. The W grind is quite lovely on the 56, as it’s a lower bounce option that’s easy to play with on approach shots, but it’s a wide sole that works really well in wet conditions or out of the bunkers. The 60º has been through a couple of iterations and the latest one, courtesy of Ben and a night spent on the Cobra tour truck, is actually inspired by a Rickie Fowler custom grind I found lying on the truck one night. Lots of heel relief, and a little bit taken off the back of the wedge to make it come out of the turf a bit cleaner. The Cobra King wedges are highly underrated, but they’re really, really good. The spin just as well as anything else, and I really appreciate the shape of the wedges as well as the CG locations. They just seem to come out of a perfect window for my game. Yes, I am a bit biased. It helps when you’ve gotten a little extra attention and some custom grinds.
Putter
Head: TaylorMade My Spider X
Length: 34.5″
Loft: 3º
Lie: 70º
Hosel: L-Neck
Shaft: BGT Stability One
Grip: SuperStroke 1.0P Claw
TaylorMade 2025 Spider Tour X Black L-Neck Custom Putter

ALSO AVAILABLE AT: PGA Tour Superstore, TaylorMade
Why it’s in my bag: This was the toughest switch, and I can’t say that it’s going to be a permanent one, but if there’s a mallet I am going to play this year, it’s going to be this one. I went into the trip and told each fitter that I was only interested in finding a mallet, which is not something that has been accomplished in my game up until this point. I actually walked into the TaylorMade Kingdom on our fitting day asking for a Spider Tour Black with no sight lines or alignment aids. The original plan was to recreate Tommy Fleetwood’s putter. The problem was that no matter how hard I tried, the Tour X just performed better for me than the Tour did. So we went with the performance and stuck with the Tour X. I was able to use their My Spider Tour X platform to build this beauty. I have the firmer face insert, a black head with zero alignment features — including an unpainted Tru Path — with a BGT Stability One graphite putter shaft and a SuperStroke 1.0P Claw. I may be swapping this out soon for one of those new TPT Pulse shafts, but more on that soon. For right now, this is in the bag, and I’m going to dedicate some time to it. It’ll probably even make the trip with me to Battle at the Beach, but we’ll have to see if it makes it in play or if it gets benched at game time.
Accessories & Other Items in the Bag
I try not to keep a ton of stuff in my bag. I usually have a driver tool with me as well as some backup screws and weights in a little baggy, as well as about eight new golf balls to use. Past that it’s just some tees, a pack of replacement spikes, and my ball mark repair tool, which is a cheap style flip tool with a Chicago Blackhawks ball marker on it. I think we’re going on Year 7 of it. It’s just nice to have one thing in my pocket instead of two. I also started using the Bruce Bolt gloves recently and I love the quality of them. They’ve been super durable in testing and the colors they have available are fun as well.
I also make sure to always have my Bushnell Pro X3+ with me on the course for trusted yardages, and the Bushnell Wingman HD helps to keep the vibes right and provide some front, middle, back distances as well.
