WITB: Adam Schenk – 2025 Butterfield Bermuda Championship

Adam Schenk captured the 2025 Butterfield Bermuda Championship with a performance built on elite ball striking and controlling his ball flight better than anyone else. The field battled the elements to say the least this week with the longest driver in the field only averaging 282.5 yards!

His win this week came with zero flashy gear changes and zero experimental pieces. Instead, Schenk stuck with a mix of trusted classics, highlighted by a driver model that dates back years and an iron setup that blends forgiveness with traditional feel.

Driver: PING G400 (9°)

Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 7X

Schenk continues to game the PING G400 — a model that was known for its incredibly reliable launch conditions. At this point, it’s almost vintage on Tour, but for Schenk, the G400 offers a level of comfort and repeatability he hasn’t found anywhere else.  He has this paired with the Ventus Black 7X, one of the stiffest and lowest-torque profiles in modern fitting, Schenk’s driver setup produces a penetrating flight with exceptional control.

Fitting Insight:
Older doesn’t mean outdated. For players who prioritize center contact and stability over pure distance, a proven head paired with a modern, ultra-stable shaft can produce some of the most consistent tee-to-fairway results. In our used fittings this is common for us to use an existing favourite and pair it with a complementing shaft.

 

Irons: PING i210 (2–5), Mizuno MP-18 SC (6–PW)

Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100

Schenk’s iron setup is a notable example of a modern golf bag. His long irons — the Ping i210 — provide forgiveness, higher launch, and faster ball speeds but from the 6-iron down, he transitions into the Mizuno MP-18 SC, a classic forged cavity-back that delivers pure feel and precise shot shaping. This combo set gives Schenk the perfect blend of forgiveness in the long irons and precision in the scoring clubs. He opted for no fairways this week and instead a 2 iron to achieve better results flighting the ball in the windy conditions of Bermuda.

Fitting Insight:
Combo sets are now standard for serious players. Using a more forgiving profile in the long irons and a traditional cavity or blade in the scoring irons ensures proper gapping, confidence in launch, and better control into greens. We often suggest combo sets for most golfers who struggle with their longer irons but tend to have better success in the bottom half of the bag.

Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM10 (52-12F, 56-10S, 60-10S)

Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400

Schenk’s wedge setup is a classic tour combination, anchored by the SM10 line. His 52° gap wedge in the F-grind blends seamlessly with his iron set for full swings, while the 56° and 60° S-grind wedges give him maximum versatility around Bermuda’s grainy greens and tight surrounds. Schenk highlighted this in his scrambling, being an impressive 81.48% percent this week!

Fitting Insight:
Matching wedge grinds to your turf conditions is critical. The S-grind thrives in firm, tight environments like Bermuda, giving players the ability to open or square the face without digging.

Schenk’s flatstick this week was the Odyssey Tri-Hot Rossie – another trusted classic to add to his bag. The Rossie offers a balance of triple line alignment help, face stability, and a compact profile that caters to players who want mallet forgiveness without a large footprint.

Fitting Insight:
The Rossie shape works exceptionally well for players with a slight arc in their stroke who still prefer the stability of a mallet. This head shape has been phenomenal for people who tend to have a right miss or struggle with face alignment due to the added alignment lines on the top line.
