When Barela needs to unleash full power and still land in bounds, the Venom is his answer. As a max-speed, overstable distance driver, it matches his aggressive play style perfectly—handling torque, wind, and late-round nerves without blinking.

In his 2025 “In the Bag,” the Venom sits at the top end of his driver lineup, giving him the green light to attack long par 4s and par 5s while still fading back to safety. Including the ESP Swirl Venom in this commemorative set is a way of spotlighting the side of AB’s game everyone sees on coverage: the towering hyzers, the crushed flex lines, and the moments where sheer power changes a hole entirely.
