Brooks Koepka could have stayed the course and remained an equipment free agent. Four major-championship wins in a two-year span will keep anyone from making wholesale changes to their equipment setup. But even the best players in the world know when it’s time to shake things up, Koepka included.

Things changed for him in early 2021 after conducting offseason testing with Srixon’s ZX7 irons. The feel, dispersion pattern and consistency were noticeably better — to the point that Koepka needed to know if the performance was for real.

So he added a tournament to the schedule.

“That’s why he played the American Express,” said Cleveland/Srixon Tour rep Rob Waters. “He really liked the irons and wanted to put ’em to the test.”

Two weeks after breaking in the irons, Koepka found the winner’s circle in Phoenix. He was officially sold on the clubs.

What makes Brooks Koepka’s equipment setup unique? A gear expert explains
By: Jonathan Wall

The validation on the course wound up leading to a full-bag equipment deal with Cleveland/Srixon, in 2022, that includes even more gear he trusts, including a ZX5 LS MKII driver, Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore wedges and the Z-Star Diamond golf ball. It’s the same setup he used to win his fifth major title at the 2023 PGA.

Wholesale gear changes don’t always pan out, but, in Koepka’s case, his move to Cleveland/Srixon has taken his game to new heights.

Brooks Koepka: What’s in My Bag

Driver: Srixon ZX5 LS MKII (Mitsubishi Chemical Diamana D Limited 70TX shaft); 10.5 degrees

Srixon ZX5 LS MK II Custom Driver

$499.99
ZX5 LS Mk II features the same large footprint and flattened shape as ZX5 Mk II; but the game changer here is the forward-placed, adjustable 8g weight that keeps spin low and distance high. ZX5 LS Mk II is made for players with very aggressive swings wanting max length off the tee plus a high level of workability. REBOUND FRAME Rebound Frame’s Dual Flex Zones focus more energy into the golf ball at impact, creating a purer energy transfer that instantaneously increases ball speed and distance on every strike. ADJUSTABILITY The ZX5 LS Mk II comes equipped with one 8g sole weight placed forward in the head. An adjustable hosel also provides variation in loft, lie, and face angle. STAR FRAME CROWN A complex series of ridges and latticework provides the structural integrity necessary to feature a remarkably thin titanium crown and to place discretionary mass where it best suits each ZX Mk II Driver’s ideal launch and spin characteristics. VARIABLE THICKNESS FACE An intricate variable thickness pattern expands the high COR area across the entire clubface. These unique ridges enhance high COR from heel to toe by improving how energy reflects into the ball on off-center shots.

$171.5
A players Iron with tour-preferred looks and the pure feel of a premium blade, offering total control—ZX7 Mk II delivers it all. Featuring a compact shape, narrow topline, single-piece forging, and narrow sole. PUREFRAME Forged into ZX7 Mk II as an 80% thicker portion of 1020 Carbon Steel, PureFrame is strategically placed right where you strike the ball, delivering an enhanced impact feel for pro-level performance. PLAYERS IRON SHAPES Tour-level and low-handicap golfers prefer the thin topline, narrow sole, short blade, and minimal offset of ZX7 Mk II. These compact players Irons feature a muscle-back cavity for maximum workability and a razor-sharp look at address. PROGRESSIVE GROOVES The 3i–7i feature wide grooves, ideal for longer shots in all conditions. The 8i–AW have deeper, closer set grooves which cut through grass and debris to enhance spin on approach shots. Laser milling between each groove, on every loft, enhances friction in all conditions. TOUR V.T. SOLE Tour V.T. Sole takes turf interaction to a whole new level of detail with a proprietary combination of sole widths, bounce angles, and notches that encourages a smooth glide through fairway, rough and sand to strike the ball solidly without losing speed.

Wedges: Cleveland RTX ZipCore Tour Rack (46-10 Mid degrees, True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft); Cleveland RTX6 ZipCore Tour Rack (52-10 Mid, 56-10 Mid and 60-06 Low degrees, True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts)

Cleveland Golf RTX 6 Zipcore Custom Wedge

$169.99
New RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges are designed to unlock maximum spin performance across the golf course, regardless of lie. Yep, that includes the fairway, rough, sand, and even in wet conditions. You might think Wedge shots spin far less in rough or wet conditions. But with the all-new RTX 6 ZipCore, when it comes to spin, it’s all lies. By combining our new HydraZip face, UltiZip grooves, and upgraded ZipCore tech, these Wedges are designed to improve spin, conditions be darned. HYDRAZIP How’d we pack so much spin into RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges? HydraZip. That’s how. HydraZip technology features a dynamic blast and laser-milled line system designed to maximize spin in wet or dry conditions, and from anywhere around the green. MAX SPIN. ANY CONDITION. The striking areas of RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges include dynamic blast media and laser patterns specific to loft groupings 46°–48°, 50°–52°, and 54°–60°. Lower lofts receive a less rough blast, while higher lofts receive a rougher blast and more laser lines for more consistent dry and wet spin performance across the course. ZIPCORE Our proprietary, low-density core technology sets the Center of Gravity right where you strike the ball, giving you more consistent performance and enhanced forgiveness. Meanwhile, by adding an abundance of high/low and heel/toe MOI into every loft in the line, you’ll enjoy increased spin, consistency, feel, and control. ULTIZIP UltiZip equips RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges with a specialized sequence of deep groove lines with our sharpest groove radii ever. Tighter grooves offer more serious bite, while deeper grooves create space for grass, sand, dirt, or water to evacuate the impact zone.

$449.99
Refined and re-designed for 2023, the iconic Scotty Cameron heel-and-toe weighted putter shape—the Super Select Newport 2—emerges again as the flagship model of our most modern blade line to date.

Ball: Srixon Z-Star Diamond

Srixon Z-STAR DIAMOND 2023 Golf Balls

$47.99
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. Swing Speed: 90+ mph Launch: Mid-high Construction:3-Piece Cover Material: Urethane Cover Thickness: 0.6mm Compression: 102 Dimple Number: 338
