Drawing a parallel between the golfer’s 2022 and 2023 sacks, as per National Club Golfer, Burns has stayed true to his Callaway kit—just changing the models of the individual clubheads and drivers in some cases. This year, the golfer carries a Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond S 9° that comes at a market price of $599. With the royal blue clubhead, the golfer uses a Fujikura Ventus Blue 7 TX shaft.
Switching from a Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero to a Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond, the golfer uses a 16° fairway wood with the Fujikura Ventus Black 8 X shaft. It comes at a cost of $350. For his hybrid choices, Burns this year has opted for Callaway Apex UW, 21°, and for assisting the swing, he uses the same Fujikura Ventus Blue 8 X shaft.
