WITB: Marc Leishman – CIMB Classic
Marc Leishman WITB. The Aussie secured his third PGA Tour win with Callaway clubs since switching from Titleist at the start of the 2016 season.
Leishman uses the regular Rogue driver after switching from the Epic where he had the weight moved into the heel position.
He also uses a Rogue Sub Zero fairway wood before going into a couple of X Forged utility irons.
Last year Leishman was using the Apex pro irons but has since switched into the X Forged irons.
The Australian opts for a mixture of Callaway Mack Daddy Forged and Vokey SM7 wedges.
The ball of choice for Leishman is the Callaway Chrome Soft X which came out very favourably in our recent balls test.
For around £35, it’s one of the best-value products on the market.
Since his last victory at the BMW International we have also seen Leishman change his putter from a black-white-black 1W model to a red-white-red version.
It’s the same Versa alignment technology but just with red instead of black.
And it seemed to do the job as Leishman romped to victory with a winning score of 26 under.
