Thomas Detry’s Bag

Thomas Detry’s Driver

Detry uses the Callaway Paradym Ai-Smoke TD driver. It is a powerful option for golfers seeking control alongside impressive distance. Built by Callaway, a trusted name in golf equipment. The "Smoke" name suggests a focus on generating high clubhead speed, while "TD" stands for Tour Driver, indicating a model geared towards skilled players.

This specific version comes with a 9-degree loft, ideal for golfers who prefer a lower launch angle for more control off the tee or fairway. The MCA Tensei CK Pro Blue 70TX shaft is a stiff option for golfers like Detry, with powerful swings that generate significant clubhead speed.

Thomas Detry’s Fairways

Detry used the Callaway Paradym Ai-Smoke 3HL 3-wood. It is another club in the Ai-Smoke line aimed at golfers seeking distance with control. Similar to the driver, "Smoke" implies a focus on generating high clubhead speed. The "3HL" designation specifies a 3-wood with a High Launch option.

This 3-wood boasts a 16-degree loft higher than the driver's loft. This design choice creates a higher launch angle, resulting in more forgiveness and easier shot execution off the tee or fairway. The MCA Tensei CK Pro Blue 80TX shaft is a stiff option, ideal for golfers with powerful swings who generate significant clubhead speed. The "Tensei" branding indicates it's a high-performance shaft from Mitsubishi Chemical.

Thomas Detry’s Hybrid

Detry uses the Callaway Epic Flash 2H hybrid. Unlike the Paradym Ai-Smoke line, this hybrid (2H likely means strong hybrid) is designed to replace a difficult long iron (possibly a 2-iron) with a more forgiving option. The 18-degree loft offers more control than a fairway wood but an easier launch than a long iron. The ultra-stiff MCA Tensei CK Pro White 100TX shaft caters to highly skilled golfers with powerful swings.

Thomas Detry’s Irons

Detry uses the Callaway Apex Pro Double Dot Raw irons. The "Double Dot" likely signifies a specific model within the Apex Pro lineup. This set includes irons from 5-PW (5 iron through pitching wedge), a typical iron set composition. The PX 6.5 shafts are lightweight steel shafts with a regular flex for a smooth feel.

Thomas Detry’s Wedges

Detry uses the Callaway Jaws Raw wedges (54° & 50°). The 54° wedge with 8° bounce excels at chip and bunker shots, while the 50° wedge with 60° bounce opens for higher launch and soft landings. Stiff flex steel shafts offer a feel for moderate swing speeds.

Thomas Detry’s Putter

Detry uses the Callaway Odyssey O-Works 7 DBL Bend putter. This mallet putter features a double bend hosel for face balance and a larger sweet spot for forgiveness on mis-hits. "O-Works" indicates Callaway's innovative putter line known for its exceptional feel.

Thomas Detry’s Golf Ball

Detry uses the Callaway Chrome Tour X 24 golf ball. Designed for better players, it delivers exceptional distance, control, and spin throughout the bag. The soft core offers a great feel and distance, while the aerodynamic design ensures a penetrating ball flight.
