# Brad Dalke's WITB: the YouTube bag that contended on the DP World Tour

> A full Callaway setup with a zero-torque putter and no fairway woods at all. Dalke took this bag to the halfway lead group at the BMW International Open on a sponsor's exemption.

**Setup verified:** 2026-07-05

Brad Dalke is the answer to the question of what happens when a YouTube golfer's game holds up against tour fields. A Junior PGA champion and NCAA team winner before the channel, he got into the BMW International Open on a sponsor's exemption and sat two shots back at halfway.

The bag is a full Callaway staff setup with two things worth stopping on: a zero-torque Odyssey putter that has been in play since the start of the year, and a week in Germany where he carried no fairway woods at all, replacing them with utility irons.

## Quick facts
- **Known for:** YouTube · 400k+ subscribers
- **Clubs:** Callaway
- **Driver:** Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond (10.5°)
- **Ball:** Bridgestone Tour B X

## The bag

| Club | Model | Spec |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Driver | Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond | 10.5° · Fujikura Ventus Blue 6X |
| Utility iron | Callaway X Forged UT | 16° · Fujikura Ventus Black HB 9 TX |
| Irons | Callaway Apex CB | 3-9 · True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 |
| Wedges | Callaway Opus SP | 46°, 52°, 56°, 60° raw · True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 |
| Putter | Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Max 1/2 Ball |  |
| Golf ball | Bridgestone Tour B X |  |

## Notes

The no-fairway-woods week is the most instructive thing here. Rather than a 3-wood, Dalke went with a 16° X Forged UT utility and a 20° Apex CB 3-iron — a setup built for control off a tight European lie rather than maximum distance. His Quantum Triple Diamond 3-wood and 21° Apex UW travel with him and go back in when conditions ask for them.

The putter is the other tell. Zero-torque putters were the breakout equipment story of 2025 and Dalke has been on one all year, in an era when most staffers still putt with a conventional mallet.

One sourcing note: Golf Monthly hedges the ball ("we believe Dalke uses the Bridgestone Tour B X") while GolfWRX states it outright. Two independent bag checks a day apart agree on every other club.
