Brooks Koepka seems to have made a controversial shift to his old driver and golf ball in the pursuit of winning his third US Open this week at Brookline. Keopka was seen using a TaylorMade M5 driver and a Titleist Pro V1x in practice for this week’s Major, the same combo that he used to win his Major title at the 2019 PGA Championship.
Surprisingly for all four of his Major titles, the Pro V1x has also been the golf ball of his choice. His switch to Srixon last year came as a huge shock to everyone. Koepka began using the ZX7 driver and Srixon Z-Star Diamond golf ball as well as Srixon irons and Cleveland wedges according to golfmonthly.com.

Making the change away from Srixon, the company responded saying, “The characteristics are not a perfect fit, yet,” “In this early stage of our partnership, Brooks Koepka has validated the performance of the Srixon driver and golf ball. Though performance has been promising, the characteristics are not a perfect fit, yet.”
“To work through this adjustment period most efficiently, we decided to focus our energy on fitting Brooks into the next generation Srixon driver and golf ball prototypes that will debut on tour in the near future — products developed with Brooks’ input and needs in mind,” concluded the statement. The statement said that they hoped to be working with Brooks in the future again.
