Unique Clubs in Play | Scottie Scheffler's Qi35 7-Wood & Srixon Z U85 Utility Iron

It's fascinating to observe how even world #1 Scottie Scheffler will shuffle equipment in and out of his bag to meet the demands of specific courses and conditions. Specifically, his willingness to use either a TaylorMade Qi35 7-Wood or a Srixon Z U85 Utility Iron near the top end of his setup is noteworthy.

Scheffler's decision to incorporate the Qi35 7-wood reflects a keen awareness of course conditions, particularly the challenging rough encountered at venues like Torrey Pines. As with all 7-woods, this club fills a crucial yardage gap, providing a versatile option between his 3-wood and longer irons. The 7-wood's higher loft facilitates increased launch and spin, enabling Scheffler to navigate thicker rough.

The Srixon Z U85 Utility Iron, while not quite as versatile out of the rough, is seen in many other professionals' bags, Scheffler included. The two-time Masters champ's use of this club really underscores his commitment to precision, as it has served him particularly well on long par-3s and approach shots requiring pinpoint accuracy. The Z U85 also promotes a more penetrating ball flight than normally seen in a 7-wood, making it ideal for windier conditions.
