Since meeting Blades Brown in late 2023, it comes as zero surprise to me that he has already notched his first PGA Tour victory at the ripe age of 19. That happened Sunday, culminating what might be the ultimate pro golf “side quest.” Brown had already locked in his Tour status as a Korn Ferry Tour gradbut decided to take some “big show” reps in this fall. I’d say the side gig has worked out nicely.
His gear has barely changed since the day I met him, with the exception being his new Quantum Ti 3-wood, Quantum Triple Diamond driver, his updated Opus SP wedges and Odyssey Double Wide putter.
He’s a modern looking, old soul, throwback golfer who does it all with a ridiculous amount of confidence, and what I find most impressive is his reserve speed. Standing roughly 5’9″ and weighing maybe 170 pounds, he can create 190 mph of ballspeed off the driver when he wants, but only when he wants to. He continues to get stronger and stronger — hell, the kid is still growing.
All I can say is i’m honored to have been close to the Blades Brown show early on and I know USA golf has one more phenom to add to its roster.
Here are the sticks that got it done.

SPIN POCKET™ CONSTRUCTION A re-engineered 2-piece construction head design strategically reshapes mass to optimize CG locations. The Spin Pocket redistributes weight higher, raising the CG, and promoting a lower, more penetrating launch. The result is more spin and enhanced control, especially when you need to flight shots or attack tight pins. NEW SPIN GEN 2.0 FACE™ The most advanced face in OPUS history. A new 17° groove angle with tighter pitch spacing delivers more groove edge contact for more consistent spin across a variety of lies. Combined with a deeper cross-hatch laser pattern across the face, Spin Gen 2.0 produces enhanced friction for more bite and stopping power on all types of approach shots. SHAPE 6 – TOUR-VALIDATED PROFILE Trusted by Tour players for its clean, confident look at address, Shape 6 offers precise leading edge shaping and refined sole geometry. Shape 6 is the 6th and final iteration in the Opus prototype shaping phase, validated by Tour players and major champions. OPUS SP introduces progressive shaping in gap wedges to seamlessly blend with modern iron sets—creating a more cohesive setup from top to bottom. X GRIND – VERSATILITY WITH BOUNCE Back by popular demand, the X Grind returns in OPUS SP. Designed for shotmakers who want added bounce for forgiveness, without giving up versatility, the X Grind is ideal for players who like to open the face around the greens or play in firmer turf conditions. It’s the perfect blend of playability and performance in a wide range of shots and conditions.
