Lexi Thompson What's In The Bag?
American Lexi Thompson seems to have been around for a ridiculous amount of time now and yet she is shockingly only 26 years old. She turned pro when she was just 15 and became the youngest player to ever play in a U.S. Women's Open at the age of 12 as well. A winner of the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship, she has won 10 other times on the LPGA. But what does she put into the bag at the moment? We take a look below.

Driver
Cobra RadSpeed
Lexi has been with Cobra/Puma Golf for her entire professional career and currently plays all of their clubs aside from one iron and the putter. At the top of the bag she has Cobra's Radspeed driver which has nine degrees of loft. This came out a few years ago and Lexi hasn't really been spotted testing anything else so clearly she likes the performance on offer.

Fairway woods
Cobra King LTD
She then carries a Cobra King LTD three-wood with 12.5 degrees of loft and occasionally uses an 18.5 degree model too but this comes in and out of the bag. Once again Lexi seems to enjoy the performance despite these being older models, and we actually see this quite a lot in the fairway wood slots in Tour bags. It is arguably the most tricky section to get right so once players find a model they like and trust, they seem to stick with it - Thompson is yet another example of this.
Irons
Srixon Z U85, Cobra S2 Forged
Her longest iron is a Srixon Z U85 three-iron and the rest of her irons come in Lexi Blue and are the Cobra King S2 Forged design. They go from four-iron down to pitching wedge. She has also been spotted with a Cobra King Tec Utility iron so it will be interesting to see if that or the Srixon gets the long-term nod. However the S2 irons have been part of her setup for many years now.
Wedges
Cobra King
The American uses three Cobra King wedges at 51°, 55°, and 59° degrees of loft. This seems to be a pretty common setup for Thompson and doesn't seem to change very often.
Putter
Scotty Cameron GoLo N5
Finally she has a Scotty Cameron GoLo N5 putter despite dabbling with the TaylorMade Spider X for a while. Putting has been a source of frustration for Thompson over the years and the move back to the Scotty is possibly an attempt to find a comfortable flatstick.
Ball
Bridgestone Tour B X
Finally she use a Bridgestone Tour B X ball. Thompson said at the time of when the balls came out; "When Bridgestone was designing the new Tour B balls they asked me what I was looking for. I told them I've never had a problem with distance but more sure wouldn't hurt - and it's got to spin around the green too! So when they came back to me with this Reactiv cover I was really blown away."
