Kevin Kisner What's In The Bag?
At the start of the 2023 calendar year Wilson unveiled Kevin Kisner as a signing to the brand. He was previously a Callaway staff player but we are yet to confirm the exact nature of the new contract in terms of how many clubs he will put into play. As such let's take a look at his current setup below.
Kevin Kisner What's In The Bag
Driver
Ping G430 LST
His driver had been a Callaway Great Big Bertha or a Callaway Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS for a while but interestingly he has now put a Ping G430 LST model in the bag, whilst we have also seen him testing a Titleist TSR3 driver as well. For now though it looks like the G430 LST is the current gamer and it has nine degrees of loft and a Fujikura Ventus TR Red 6 X shaft. The head itself is 440cc but, despite the more compact profile, Ping has done a good job of making this look inviting, not intimidating, at address. It has a similar profile to the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus driver.

Fairway/Hybrid
Wilson Dynapwr, Callaway Apex UW
He the uses one Wilson Dynapwr fairway wood which is his three-wood and then instead of another fairway wood he has a Callaway Apex UW club in the bag. The three-wood has 15 degrees of loft and has a Fujikura Ventus Black 7 X shaft, whilst the hybrid has around 19 degrees of loft with Mitsubishi Diamana PD 80 S shaft.

Irons
Wilson Staff Model Utility, Wilson Staff Model CB
His irons have recently changed. His two longest models, the three and four-irons, are both Wilson Staff Model Utility irons with 21 and 24 degrees of loft. He then has a set of Wilson Staff Model CB's from five-iron down to pitching wedge. We have also spotted him carrying a nine-iron and pitching wedge of the Wilson Staff Model MB muscleback irons so it will be interesting to see which clubs stay in permanently. We will update this section as soon as we have confirmation. We do know all of his irons have Nippon Pro Modus3 120 TX shafts.

Wedges
Callaway Jaws Raw, Titleist Vokey Design WedgeWorks
The iron setup allows him to use a Callaway Jaws Raw model with 52 degrees, and finally a Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks design with 60 degrees of loft. When we tested the Jaws Raw, we were really impressed with the spin on offer from the club's micro-grooves and Raw face. Spin on shorter chips was impressive and the control this wedge offered over a variety of different shots is what stood out most about this club. We also found it very easy to get underneath the ball thanks to the Callaway's Z Grind sole that has been designed to skid along the turf rather than dig into it.

Putter
Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K Seven
His putter situation has changed a fair bit over the last couple of years. He was another golfer who experimented with the arm lock technique in 2021, put an Odyssey 2-Ball Ten in the bag for a bit, and was also using an Odyssey 2-Ball Eleven putter for a while. However this has now come out for an Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K Seven which has the classic fang design.
Ball
Titleist Pro V1
Finally, Kisner uses a Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. At various points he has switched between the Pro V1 and the Pro V1x but right now the former is the model of choice for the American. He also uses a pair of FootJoy's Tour X shoes and Peter Millar apparel.
