Bryson DeChambeau is known for testing out cutting-edge equipment, and the LIV Golf star has made a “bold” claim about the current state of technology in the professional game.
After struggling during the first round of The Open and ultimately missing the cut, DeChambeau claimed his equipment was to blame.
The 30-year-old has also revealed that he’s working on releasing a “unique” club, which could be available to purchase soon.
And now, DeChambeau has dropped an interesting suggestion regarding the way clubs are manufactured.
Bryson DeChambeau says golf equipment is being built incorrectly
DeChambeau’s latest YouTube video included a bizarre collaboration with former President Donald Trump, and the 30-year-old initially shed light on his preferred shot shape.
“I try to draw it as much as possible,” said the LIV Golf star. “It’s too tough for me to control [fade]; I just spin it way too much. I’ve always spun the golf ball, and I try and reduce it as much as possible.”
Trump replied: “Cause on the tour, 75% are now cutting it?”
DeChambeau went on to suggest modern equipment encourages a fade shot.
“100%. It’s all equipment driven,” said the 2024 US Open champion. “It’s a pretty bold statement, but if you build the equipment the right way, you can start drawing it again.”

Before The Masters at Augusta, DeChambeau hit the headlines after gaining last-minute authorisation to use single-length 3D-printed irons.
The clubs appeared to work well after the American held a first-round lead and eventually finished T6, nine shots back of Scottie Scheffler.
However, the 3D-printed irons are unlikely to be available for mass consumption anytime soon.
It’s believed the irons – from Avoda – cost £10,000. However, the company’s website does advertise iron sets nearer the £1000 mark.
