If you thought Adam Scott was slowing down on the equipment changes, you’d be wrong.

GolfWRX got the first look at the retail version of Adam Scott's Miura AS-1 irons back at The 2023 Players Championship, but it wasn't until this week at the 2023 Memorial Tournament that he actually put the new irons in the bag. He was previously using the original Miura prototype heads that, coincidentially, he first put into play at last year's 2022 Memorial event. In exactly a year's time, Scott replaced those prototype heads with the Miura AS-1 irons that were recently made available to the public.

This week, we also got an in-hand look at Scott's new Srixon ZX Mk II driving iron, which he's now equipping with a True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft.

Additionally, Getty Images spotted Scott with a new TaylorMade BRNR Mini driver in the bag this week.

According to TaylorMade, Scott is using a Stealth 2 Plus driver in combination with a BRNR Mini this week, and he's currently leading Strokes Gained: Off the Tee after the first round of the Memorial, where he shot a 2-under 70.

Head: TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus (9 degrees, with 10 degrees of actual loft)Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 7XLength: 45 and 1/8 inches CUT (tipped 1 inch)Weights: 19g back, 15g frontSwingweight: D3.5Stealth 2 Plus launch conditions: 11.5° degrees launch at 2400 spin, 305 carry, 320+ total, 181 ball speed

Head: TaylorMade BRNR Mini (13.5 degrees, with 13 degrees of actual loft)Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 7X (tipped 1 inch)Length: 44 inchesWeights: 13g back 5g frontSwingweight: D3Launch Conditions: 11 degrees at 2800 spin, 282 carry, 305 total, 173 ball speed

"The BRNR Mini driver went into the bag for Adam this week because of the golf course and the distance gap between his driver and 4-wood," said Adrian Rietveld, TaylorMade Senior Tour Manager, according to TaylorMade. "At Muirfield, drivers run out and the gapping with his 4-wood left him too far behind. As he told us during testing, with BRNR Mini, he can play the golf course instead of the golf course playing him."

The Adam Scott equipment-centric weekly reality show continues on, and it's appointment television at this point. Check out what the GolfWRX Forum members are saying about Scott's latest switches in our forums.

Following the Pal and Pal 2, Ping today announced the release of the third of four "Ping Slam" putters, which commemorate the 1988 season in which the brand won all four men's major championships.

The precision-milled PLD Limited Zing 2 putter commemorates Curtis Strange's 1988 U.S. Open win — the first of his two consecutive U.S. Open wins using the putter.

"We’re really enjoying celebrating the ‘Ping Slam’ and reliving some wonderful memories from 1988," said John A. Solheim, Ping's Executive Chairman. "Curtis’ thrilling win at the U.S. Open was soon followed by the U.S. Women's Open champion using a Zing 2, giving us wins at both national championships that summer. The next year Curtis won the U.S. Open again with his Zing 2. That was a remarkable run for the Zing 2 and secured its place in Ping's putter history."

Arriving on tour in 1984, the original Zing 2 was inspired by the Zing was cast from stainless steel. Ping cites the heel-shafted design and heel-toe weighting as key elements of the putter's popularity.

The putters are custom-built by Ping WRX master craftsmen at the company's headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Each putter is serialized for authenticity and includes a custom headcover. Ping's engineers and company historian scoured the archives to retain the integrity of the four classic designs during the milling process, spending time in the legendary Ping Gold Putter Vault to ensure the integrity of the designs.

Only 88 of the 100-percent milled, 303 stainless steel, natural finish putters are available via pingpld.com at 2 pm ET, Tuesday, June 13 at a price of $990.

Later this year (December 5), 35 complete sets of the PLD Limited ‘Ping Slam’ putters will go on sale for $4,990 (limit one per customer), which will include a custom-designed display unit.
