Lucas Glover What's In The Bag?
American Lucas Glover is a four-time winner on the PGA Tour including a Major at the 2009 US Open at Bethpage Black. After a few years of struggles, including a trip to the Web.com finals, Glover finally snapped his winless drought with victory at the 2021 John Deere Classic. It had been over 10 years since his last win on the PGA Tour but he shot a final round 64 to win by two. Since then he found form once again in 2023 winning two pGA Tour tournaments in a row at the WYndham Championsip and then the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Having previously been a Nike staff player, what clubs does he use at the moment?

Driver
Srixon Z785
At the top of the bag he chooses to use a Srixon Z 785 driver and this club appears to have been in the bag for a while now. This model came out in 2018 and in our testing there were clear improvements over the previous generation in looks, feel and added forgiveness which certainly widens the appeal to more abilities. Glover's model has 9.5 degrees of loft and is fitted with a Fujikura Ventus Blue 7 X shaft.

Fairway woods
Ping G430 Max
Next Glover has two Ping G430 Max fairway woods, one with 15 degrees of loft and the other has 18 degrees. Both are fitted with Fujikura Ventus Black shafts with the former being 8 X, and the latter with 10 X. Overall, with this club Ping continued to impress us with its ability to create a fairway wood that continues to deliver exceptional forgiveness and ball speeds that creep up to match some of the longer fairway woods in the game. The sleek look of the G430 Max fairway makes it even more appealing to hit and is certainly one of the best fairway woods available this year.

Irons
Srixon ZX5 Mk II, Srixon ZX7 Mk II
Moving to the irons Glover uses two different Srixon models at the moment. His four-iron is a ZX5 Mk II, and then from five-iron down to pitching wedge he uses the ZX7 Mk II model. All of his irons have True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts. The ZX5 is the more forgiving model so it makes sense his longer iron is this model, whereas the ZX7 is built around workability and feel.

Wedges
Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore Tour Rack
After having used Vokey wedges for a while Glover now uses a set of Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore Tour Racks. They have 52, 56 and 60 degrees of loft and all of them are fitted with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts. The Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore wedge brings more forgiveness and wet-condition spin to the course in a classy looking head.

Putter
L.A.B. Mezz.1 Max
His final club in the bag has gone through several changes over the years. At a couple of stages he was using an Odyssey #7 and also a Scotty Cameron Select Squareback 2. He had also been using a custom Arthur putter made by Argolf, a company based in America that build a wide range of putters made from aeronautical materials. However right now he opts for a L.A.B. Mezz.1 Max with a broom handle on it and he has seen big success with it especially the two events he won in 2023.
Ball
Srixon Z-Star XV
Finally Glover had been using a Titleist Pro V1 golf ball for a while but he appears to currently use a Srixon Z-Star XV model instead. The latest Srixon Z Star XV offers a firmer option to the Z-Star and is fantastic for those with higher swing speeds. Despite the firmer feel, it does offer plenty of spin.
