The 56-year-old PGA member weighs over 200 lbs, and you can imagine him hitting the balls with dominant force because of his physique. His long drives are great. But now the question arises, are new and heavier clubs the reason for Daly to hit far? Or is there something else? Let’s dig deep and find out.

Why does John Daly use heavier clubs?

Many golf fans do not know, but it’s a fact that the two-time Claret Jug winner has special clubs. His clubs weigh 30 grams more than the usual weight. You might wonder why, and the answer is straightforward; it’s the grips.

Yes. Daly has oversized and heavy grips on his clubs, which a regular club might not handle. As a result, the pro must add enough lead tape on his irons to balance correctly. And it was recently we found his new clubs at the PGA Tour event.

Daly could attract all the limelight at this year’s PGA Championship. The reason was his new wild golf equipment shining brightly. Last week, the two-time major championship winner played on a sponsor’s exemption at Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Unsurprisingly, the new gears were terrific—he unreleased the PXG prototype driver. The club was oversized and had SuperStroke S-Tech Club Cord grips. The new club of Daly is TaylorMade P-770 irons; however, they were covered in tapes, so the brand model could not be determined. 

Did Daly completely change his clubs?

Pgatour.com was able to catch up with the pro golfer Daly during the recent PGA Tour Champions event. Only then did we find out that the pro golfer had significantly changed his clubs and equipment setup.
