I heard adam say on interview that he doesn't really hit the gym that much. How do you have arms like this naturally? Was I the only person to notice this on TV?

Activity and genetics.  They aren't really above average all that much...he is just lean

Surfing would help for sure.

Some people are just built like this. - like TN94z said - genetics

How much muscle mass do you gain from surfing? He's either lifting or been lifting.

that's even more impressive. Most 32yr olds aren't in shape.

in the playoff he hits a 3wood on the tee while angel hits a iron and I believe the iron went longer.(or about the same)

Most 32-year-olds aren't professional golfers.


I'm sure he lifts. Most PGA players these days put more importance on physical fitness. Like some others have already said, it's not that he's jacked, he's just lean. When you're thin and with the proper diet, it doesn't take much weight lifting to build that amount of muscle.

In my Callaway stand bag:

9.5 Degree Taylormade Burner Superfast Adilla Voodoo shaft
3 Wood: Cleveland Launcher 15 degree Adilla Voodoo shaft
Irons 3-SW: Callaway X-14 Steelhead

Lob wedge: Cleveland 60 degree

Putter: Ping Anser Karsten

His arms aren't above average? Lol. Yeah, you get well defined massive biceps without lifting. Sorry, but that's just a silly statement. They may be average biceps for an NBA player, but he may have the largest arms on the PGA tour.

+1 MyrtleBeachGolf. Maybe he hasn't lifted in awhile, be he had to have had to sometime in his life and not a trivial amount either. The average person I see is carrying at least an extra 25 pounds and that's not in muscle.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • Day 259: did mirror work while watching TV. Trying some wrist feels while trying not to lose the lower body stuff. 
    • Day 3 (5 Apr 25) - long day with setup and rehearsal for band’s church service gig tomorrow.  Got home to hit a very chippy wedges (from about 10ft to out to 40yds or so).  Focus was simple - feel the bounce and quiet hands.  
    • Day 187 - 2025-04-05 Got my time in today. Hoping to get a little more time in tomorrow, though. May get there early.
    • Day 14: 4/5/25 Putting through 50 mm gates.
    • While on vacation in Punta Cana a few weeks ago I played with rental clubs, Mizuno Pro 245's with KBS Tour Lite steel shafts. Surprisingly, I was blown away, not only by the distance, trajectory and dispersion I was getting but also about how soft and buttery they felt. It got me thinking.... IT'S TIME FOR NEW IRONS! Just yesterday, at my local Golf Galaxy, I tested them again side by side with the JPX Forged (recommended by the Mizuno rep who happened to be there) which also felt pretty good. Not as buttery soft as the 245's but they did produce slightly better numbers on off-center hits. Also, I haven't played with forged clubs with steel shafts in 10 years thinking I was getting too old and that I needed the lighter weight but these clubs with that shaft felt really, really good. So that's my long and drawn-out intro to my question: Does anyone here at TST play with either of these clubs and if so, what's your opinion?
