The big Austrian pairs a delicate short game with driving power and precision. Watch out, world.

Analysis by Top 100 Teacher Brian Manzella
QUESTION: WHO'S THE FIRST AUSTRIAN to win a PGA Tour title? You guessed it: Sepp Straka, who actually has four. Born in Vienna to an American mother and an Austrian father who is a golf course architect, Straka, now 32, moved to Valdosta, Ga., at age 14. He and his twin brother both played collegiate golf at the University of Georgia, where Sepp earned a business management degree. The brothers had strong junior careers, representing Austria at the 2011 European Boys' Team Championship, finishing second together.
1 Setup Great setup for a tall guy, with more knee bend and upper-body tilt than shorter pros. His left arm extends slightly outward to keep him from standing too close to the ball. His slightly open shoulders are now a Tour standard.

Breaking Away
Unquestionably, the techies and engineers who design the game's newest equipment are fully fit to do the job-and, with each new club, to deliver dazzle to your own game. But some gearheads like to go in a very different direction, because disruption isn't merely about breaking things. It's about being radically better.
