Driver

Titleist TSi2

Starting with the driver, and Im currently has a Titleist TSi2 set at just eight-degrees. Featuring a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7 X shaft, which is 45.25 inches, the South Korean has had this driver in the bag for a while now, previously using a Titleist TS3. Interestingly he hasn't shown that much willingness to switch into the newer TSR range but if he does we will update this section.

Fairway/Hybrid

Titleist TS3, Titleist 818H2

Moving to the fairway woods and we see a Titleist TS3 fairway wood, which is at 13.5 degrees of loft. That is followed by a Titleist 818H2 hybrid at 19 degrees of loft, with both featuring a Graphite Design Tour AD DI shaft. The three-wood is a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8 X, whilst the hybrid is a Graphite Design Tour AD DI Hybrid 105 X.

Irons

Titleist T100

Im has been known to put a Titleist T200 three-iron into the bag, but the South Korean primarily plays with the Titleist T100's (three-iron to nine iron). These are all fitted with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts. Much like the rest of his setup, Im clearly sticks with models he likes and doesn't switch often, as he uses the older T100 irons and hasn't shown any inclination to switch. 

Wedges

Titleist Vokey SM9

However, Im appears to have recently changed his wedges moving on from the set of Titleist Vokey SM7's he had in the bag for a while, into a set of Vokey SM9's instead. A new spin milled cutting process in them means grooves are sharper, while each groove is specifically cut based on loft and finish. Speaking of lofts, Im carries them with 48, 54 and 60 degrees of loft at the moment.

Putter

Scotty Cameron TourType SSS Flowback 5

The final club in the bag is a centre-shafted Scotty Cameron TourType SSS Flowback 5. Im has had this putter in the bag for a few years and has had some big successes with it. During the final round of his 2021 Shriners Children's Open victory, Im needed just 26 putts, gaining more than six shots on the field that day.

Ball

Titleist Pro V1x

Like many others on the Tour, Im uses a Titleist Pro V1x, with the ball ranking as the most popular on Tour and one of the best on the market. Thanks to its soft cast urethane elastomer cover and fast casing layer, it gives the player confidence, a consistent flight and control around the greens.
