Bryson DeChambeau is known for his powerful hitting and obscene ball speeds, and, as a result, the two-time major winner has been forced to change his driver regularly.

DeChambeau was seen changing his driver head multiple times before the final round of the US Open, and the American admitted it was a mistake after he sealed his second major title.

The 30-year-old is never afraid to make alterations to his equipment and blamed his clubs after struggling on day one of The Open Championship.

Now, the American has offered a little more insight into the number of drivers he uses and how regularly he replaces them.

For the average golfer, changing drivers once every three years feels like the norm. And for many, holding onto the same big stick for several years is entirely acceptable.

DeChambeau, however, has revealed he changes his driver once every two to three weeks.

Donald Trump, who featured in DeChambeau’s recent YouTube video, quizzed the 2024 US Open champion on his equipment.

“How long do you use a driver before it caves in?” Trump asked.

DeChambeau replied: “Probably two or three weeks, for me and then it starts to flatten. You see the curvature on that; it starts to flatten because the golf ball compresses it so much, and then it stops performing and curving off-line too much.”

Who makes Bryson DeChambeau’s driver?

DeChambeau’s clubs have become a talking point in 2024. Before the start of the Masters in April, the LIV Golf man gained last-minute authorisation to use 3D-printed single-length irons.

The 30-year-old’s six-degree driver has also made the headlines, with the Krank design made to be the fastest of the fast.

Krank is known for its long-drive pedigree, with their website claiming that they now produce the “undisputed” World Long Drive Champion Driver.

Unsurprisingly, DeChambeau’s driver isn’t cheap. Currently, on Krank’s website, the cheapest design is $429 for the driver head only. The most expensive design with a shaft included is nearly $700.
