Sepp Straka What’s In The Bag?

Josef ‘Sepp’ Straka (opens in new tab) turned professional in 2016 and since then has climbed the professional ranks slowly but surely. After winning on the Korn Ferry Tour back in 2018, eventually he found his way onto the PGA Tour and became the first Austrian to win on the Tour at the 2022 Honda Classic. Let’s take a look inside his bag. 

Sepp Straka What’s In The Bag?

Driver

TaylorMade Stealth Plus

Straka has a mix and match bag of clubs at the moment but we do believe he has an equipment contract with Srixon at the moment. We are yet to confirm what the nature of the contract is but given the setup we will go into below, it looks like it is an irons, wedges, ball and bag agreement. Regardless, at the top of the bag he actually uses a TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver.  A model also used by Tiger Woods (opens in new tab) and Collin Morikawa, when we tested the Stealth Plus it produced excellent results. Consistently impressive ball speeds provided plenty of distance, whilst the compact aesthetics will suit the more confident ball striker. We think it looks outstanding as well.

Fairway

TaylorMade Stealth

He then uses one TaylorMade Stealth fairway wood which has around 15 degrees of loft. There is no red face here unlike the driver but we thought it performed excellently in testing. The striking 3D carbon coated head looks great at address and a new laser-etched alignment aid on the clubface makes it easy to line up. The Stealth model was a clear winner in our testing, even outperforming Stealth Plus. It led several data categories on average, including clubhead speed (103.7 mph), ball speed (150.9) and spin rate (3780 avg).

Hybrid

Callaway Apex UW

Instead of another fairway wood, Straka then decides to put a hybrid in the bag and it is a model that we have seen growing more and more popular out on Tour at the moment, the Callaway Apex UW. Phil Mickelson…
