This week’s Wells Fargo Championship is Bryson DeChambeau’s first start since the Masters. DeChambeau, who’s won twice this season, is always experimenting, so it should be no surprise that he was seen on the range this week with a unique club built specifically to handle the tremendous swing speed he creates.
The new club is a custom Cobra RadSpeed Big Tour Proto B fairway wood. The ‘B’ stands for Bryson. It only has 10.5 degrees of loft – the same amount as some players’ drivers with a fixed long hosel. The standard RadSpeed features an adjustable hosel to change the lie and loft.

Bryson DeChambeau was spotted testing a new Cobra RadSpeed Prototype driver this week at Augusta National ahead of the Masters, and it turns out the club is the product of the pursuit of a singular solution for a singular golfer.
When your average ball speed is 191 mph, and you’ve professed you’re pursuing an amount of clubhead speed that will have the golf ball rocketing off the face of your driver at 220 mph, needless to say, you’re in a unique place as a golfer (and a place previously reserved for professional long drivers).
