MY BAG: Billy Horschel
"The club that works the best and makes the most money is my putter. I have a special neck on it that's a little more offset, which allows me to get my hands a little more ahead."

Supreme Adjustability
Callaway Big Bertha Alpha driver
The newest Bertha lays claim to being the most customizable driver on the market. The head features a first-of-its-kind removable carbon tube, dubbed Gravity Core, that has heavy tungsten on one end and light nylon on the other. Position the tungsten end near the sole for a low-spin driver; place the nylon end near the sole to increase backspin by as much as 600 rpm. In addition the adjustable hosel allows for loft variations (2° up to 1° down), while removable weights in the heel and toe provide shot-shape tuning (draw or neutral). Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Stuart Appleby and Nicolas Colsaerts are among the Tour players using the Alpha driver. $500
