Seamus Power What's In The Bag?

Seamus Power What's In The Bag?

After playing golf at East Tennessee State University and competing on the then Web.com Tour, Seamus Power worked his way onto the PGA Tour and finally got into the winner's circle in 2021. His first victory came in a playoff at the Barbasol Championship in a playoff over JT Poston. After Poston drove his ball into the water on the 6th extra hole, Power made a simple par to win $630,000. What clubs does he put into his bag each week out on Tour? Let's take a look.

Seamus Power What's In The Bag?

Driver

Ping G410 LST

Power is a Ping staff player and as a result plays a full bag of clubs from the brand. He starts with a Ping G410 LST driver after briefly having used the newer G425 model. It has nine degrees of loft and has an Accra Tour shaft. In fact all of his woods have Accra Tour shafts in them. The LST model is the lowest spinning driver in the G410 range and provides another option for faster swingers or simply anyone who would benefit from knocking spin off their drives.

Fairway

Ping G425 Max

He then carries two Ping G425 Max fairway woods, one with 14.5 degrees of loft, and the other with 19. This model made our Editor's Choice list in 2021, as well as our guide on the best fairway woods because it is the most forgiving and universally playable fairway wood in the G425 family. It is made with a one-piece face, rather than the steel face insert used in the G410 models, and this has increased ball speeds across the face by up to 1.5mph - a significant amount in an evolutionary model from Ping.

Additionally Ping has done away with the Turbulators that dominated the crown on last year’s G410 fairway wood and replaced them with a simple, clean three dot system. This is great for lining up the ball consistently in the centre of the face.

Irons

Ping i59, Ping Blueprint

Moving to the irons Power did have a TaylorMade P790 UDI utility iron in the bag but this appears to have gone right now. As such his longest iron in the bag is a Ping i59 three-iron. He then follows in the footsteps of players like Billy Horschel by deciding not to carry a four-iron. His iron set goes from five-iron down to pitching wedge and they are all Ping Blueprint's. The Blueprint's are only for the finest ball-strikers because of the very short blade length, thin topline and narrow sole. In our testing though, once we found our rhythm, they were very enjoyable to hit because of the feel, ability to control the ball flight, and shape the ball.

Wedges

Ping Glide 3.0

In terms of wedges, Power uses three Ping Glide 3.0's and they have 50, 54 and 58 degrees of loft. The three-wedge setup is very common out on Tour because wedges not only have to fill in distance gaps properly whether that be on full shots, or pitches, but also top players carry three wedges to give them some options and versatility when facing different shots in competition. 

Putter

Ping PLD 3 Prototype

His final club in the bag is a Ping PLD 3 Prototype. It is a mallet design and he uses a claw grip with it as well. 

Ball

Titleist Pro V1

Finally Power uses a Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. One of the best golf balls money can buy, the Pro V1 provides superb all-round performance with impressive distance in the long game, excellent control into the greens and high levels of consistency throughout with a soft feel.
