Sergio Garcia - What's In The Bag | Golf Monthly - video Dailymotion

Golf Monthly

In this video, we take a look inside the bag of Spain's Sergio Garcia! The leading point scorer for Europe in the Ryder Cup was kind enough to give us a quick tour through his bag during the LIV Golf UK event in July, where he now plies his trade as captain of the Fireballs team.

00:00Right, we are here at the JCB Golf and Country Club

00:03for the Live Golf UK event,

00:04and I've got Sergio Garcia with me.

00:06What a pleasure.

00:07And we're gonna go through your bag in just a second.

00:09First of all, you're a contract-free agent now,

00:12so I've known you as a Titleist player, a Callaway player,

00:14TaylorMade player over the years,

00:16and now you've got the freedom

00:17to build whatever bag you want.

00:19How have you found that?

00:20Yeah, no, it's obviously, I mean,

00:22I still have a great relationship with TaylorMade,

00:25I mean, with other companies,

00:26but I played so many years with TaylorMade,

00:29so my bag is predominantly TaylorMade at the moment.

00:32But yeah, no, they take good care of me,

00:34so that's good.

00:35It looks like they do take good care of you.

00:37So starting with the driver,

00:38we're in the QI10 Max from TaylorMade.

00:40So that was the big story about their release,

00:43huge MOI numbers, 10K of inertia.

00:45How have you found that?

00:46Why have you ended up in the Max model?

00:48I tried the LS, and it was good,

00:51but I felt like this one,

00:53even though probably I don't hit it quite as far,

00:55I feel like it's super easy to hit,

00:57so it's giving me a lot of confidence.

00:59And at the end of the day, for me,

00:59if I have confidence,

01:00I feel like I can swing a little harder,

01:02and at the end of the day, I don't lose that much distance,

01:04but more than anything, it feels very easy club to hit.

01:06Have you done anything internally with hot melt

01:09or anything?

01:09You're not a spinny driver, I found in testing.

01:11Yeah, no, I mean, I'm fine.

01:15Like, what I've done is I'm playing at a much lower lock

01:18than I usually do.

01:19So I have it, it's a nine degree,

01:21I have it probably like at eight,

01:23maybe just under eight.

01:26So that obviously brings the spin down for me a little bit,

01:29but I like the way it comes out, so.

01:31Perfect.

01:32And then we've got one of my favorites here,

01:33the new mini driver from Sailor Maiden,

01:34the copper version.

01:35Have you found that, and why have we ended up there?

01:36Yeah, I just got it.

01:38I just got it this week, I've been wanting to try it,

01:40and I'm putting it in play for the first time, so.

01:45We'll find out.

01:45Yeah, so we'll see how it goes, but yeah.

01:48I was watching you hit a couple, it looked pretty good.

01:49It feels good, yeah, it's good.

01:51And then we go from there down into Firewood,

01:52QA10 Tour, and we have Ventus Black throughout here.

01:56Yes.

01:578X, and we're sending weight, so you just-

01:58876, yeah.

01:59Perfect, so you just like to keep a constant feel

02:00at that top end of the bag?

02:02Yes, I like to keep the same shafts as much as possible.

02:07Obviously, on the irons, I have the LA shafts,

02:11the LA Gulf shafts, but on the woods,

02:13I have all the Ventus,

02:14and I don't like to have too many different,

02:16so I just kind of keep the same feeling.

02:18On the LA Gulf shafts,

02:20I've seen so many people in the bag

02:22at this LIV event, more so than I've seen at other events

02:24with the LA Gulf, is that, what's the deal there?

02:26We've got reps on LIV that are pushing

02:29that LA Gulf shaft more, or you just found yourself in it?

02:31Not really, I found myself in it.

02:33I tried it last year in Orlando, I remember.

02:36I think it was kind of beginning of last year,

02:38and it felt really, really good,

02:41so because of that, I decided to put it

02:44in every single club, in every single iron,

02:46and I'm very happy with it.

02:48Really stable, right?

02:49Yes, very, very stable.

02:50Perfect, so we're in P770 in the 3-iron,

02:53into the blades, into the P7MBs,

02:56so just presumably in the 3-iron

02:57for a bit more forgiveness, a bit more pop?

02:59Yeah, just a little bit, like you said,

03:01a little bit more pop, a little bit easier

03:03to hit than a normal 3-iron,

03:04and I can use it kind of like a driving iron kind of stuff.

03:07Perfect, 3-wedge setup, stock pitching wedge,

03:1054, bent to 52, I see.

03:12Yes.

03:12And then 58 T-grind.

03:14Skip over the others, get to T-grind.

03:16I see so many people in that T-grind, what is it?

03:19Well, funny enough, I have a funny story about that

03:22because obviously I, my first three years on tour,

03:26I was with Tyliss, and obviously I was starting

03:28using Tyliss wedges, then I went to Telemate,

03:30and I switched to Telemate wedges,

03:32and I remember in 2020 when I became a free agent again,

03:37I was like, you know, I wanna get back

03:38to the bulky wedges, and Aaron Drill from Tyliss,

03:44I talked to him, and he said,

03:45well, I'm gonna send you a couple,

03:47and then I'm gonna send you one,

03:48I just want you to try it.

03:49So he sent me, I think it was like a 10-degree bounce,

03:53eight-degree bounce, and he sent me the T-grind,

03:56which is four-degree bounce, and I tried it,

04:00and I loved it from the beginning.

04:01I was like, ooh, this feels really, really good.

04:03So then I talked to him, and I said,

04:05I really like the T-grind.

04:07I said, well, funny enough, that's the grind

04:09that you were using when you were with us

04:11in like 99, 2000, 2001.

04:13So it's kind of a retro without realizing it.

04:15That's really cool.

04:16But there's so many people.

04:18Scott, you should have every What's in the Bag I do

04:19on our podcast.

04:20So many people in T-grind, so that's really interesting.

04:23Putter, now this is a throwback to me, never compromised.

04:26So this was a brand from my youth.

04:28I know.

04:29Thoughts here?

04:30Well, there's a couple of things.

04:32So obviously, Goldfire, the Swiss brand

04:36that I was using at the beginning of the year,

04:38the carbon fiber one, they're making me

04:40a smaller version of it.

04:42I really like it, but they're making me a smaller version,

04:44so it takes a few months to do it.

04:46So with Bobby Dean, a guy that I work with,

04:50my putting in Austin, I wanted to find a putter

04:54that hit the ball hard.

04:55So then, usually my problem with putting is

04:59if I feel like I have to hit the ball,

05:01then I get out of rhythm.

05:02So I wanted something that came out fast, yeah.

05:05And we tested a few until I get my,

05:08obviously my Goldfire one.

05:10And this one was the one that felt and reacted the best.

05:13And it's been good for the last three months or so

05:16that I've been using it.

05:17Okay, brilliant.

05:18And what ball are you in, Sergio?

05:19The TP5X.

05:20Yeah, the new one, yeah.

05:22I've done a lot of testing with that myself

05:24when I'm in that, it's brilliant.

05:24Which I like it because I'm always been a TP5 player,

05:30the black one, always.

05:33But this one, this X, feels like it spins

05:36a little bit more for me,

05:37so it allows me to hit more shots.

05:40Cool.

05:41Any go-to training aids you have in the bag

05:42that you always go with?

05:43Not really.

05:44A training aid guy?

05:45Cool.

05:46Old school.

05:47Love it.

05:48Sergio Garcia, that was brilliant.

05:49Thank you very much.

05:50Play well this week.

05:51Thanks.
