His equipment setup immediately caught the attention of tour range photographers and equipment forum regulars, who noted the serious, tour-quality nature of his bag.
Wilkes carried a PING G440 driver in the draw setting with a Fujikura Ventus HB 9TX shaft — an extremely heavy, stiff driver shaft at 90 grams in Tour Extra Stiff. His Titleist 620 MB muscleback irons featured lead tape on the backs for custom weighting, and his Vokey wedges with 'TW' custom stamps drew laughs from forum commenters due to sharing initials with Tiger Woods.
