We take a look inside the bag of Ireland's Solheim Cup star Leona Maguire
Leona Maguire What’s In The Bag?
The darling of Ireland, Leona Maguire announced herself as one of the biggest stars in the women’s game with a record-breaking performance as a rookie at the 2021 Solheim Cup, going undefeated and collecting four and a half points to help Europe claim the trophy. She quickly followed that up by becoming the first Irishwoman to win on the LPGA when she claimed the 2022 Drive On Championship and is currently one of the biggest names in the sport. So let’s take a look at what’s in her bag.

Driver
Ping G430 LST
Maguire is a Ping staff player and has almost a full bag of clubs from the brand. Starting with the big stick, she uses a Ping G430 LST with 10.5 degrees of loft. This is a driver set up to accelerate ball speed while reducing spin. The LST has a smaller profile head (440 cc) than other models in the G430 range and is a good fit for faster swing speeds.

Fairway Woods
Ping G430 Max, Ping G425 Max
Interestingly, Maguire carries three fairway woods including a nine-wood. Her three-wood of choice is the G430 Max (set at 14.6 degrees) with a Tour AD-CQ 6 stiff shaft, but for the five and nine-woods she is still using the older G425 Max models.
Her five-wood is set to 17.5 degrees of loft while the nine-wood is 23.5 degrees and both of these are fitted with a Mitsubishi Tensei Orange 65 S shaft. Ping are among the very best fairway woods and we were very impressed with the G430 Max when we reviewed it, finding it to be very forgiving while also delivering consistently fast ball speeds.

Hybrids
Ping G425
Maguire carries two hybrids and both are from the G425 range. She has a 26 degree five-hybrid and a 30 degree six-hybrid, and both are fitted with a Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro Blue 80 stiff shaft. We found this club to be extremely forgiving in testing and we were also impressed with its versatility in pulling off different types of shots.

Irons
Ping i210
When it comes to irons, Maguire is playing the i210 irons, from seven-iron down to pitching wedge, all with KBS TGI 80 stiff shafts. When we tested these irons we were impressed with the distance and accuracy and found them easy to hit well. These irons are aimed at the better player who still wants the extra forgiveness of a cavity back club, while still looking nice and compact over the ball.

Wedges
Ping i230, Titleist Vokey SM7
Maguire carries a Ping i230 Utility Wedge but also has a couple of non-Ping clubs in the bag in the form of a pair of Titleist Vokey SM7 wedges. The i230 UW loft is 50 degrees while the Vokeys are 55 and 60 degrees. We absolutely love the Vokey SM7 wedges and they tested extremely well. A stunning wedge that plays as well as it looks.

Putter
Ping Vault 2.0 Ketsch
The final club in Maguire’s bag is the Ping Vault 2.0 Ketsch Putter which is set to 3.5 degrees loft and 20 degrees lie. This is a mallet design featuring simple but effective sight lines that provide a nice contract against the head. It's a forgiving putter which is easy to line up and has a nice feel to it. Maguire has used this putter for a while now and has had great success with it, so it isn't likely to change.
Ball
Titleist Pro V1
As with a great many tour professionals, Maguire uses the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. In our testing of the latest version of this iconic ball we were most impressed with the consistency in the long game. The Pro V1 ball has been hugely popular for a number of years but Titleist have been able to make some subtle improvements without sacrificing any of the things that have made this ball the most used on tour for many years.

Dave is a distinctly average golfer with (fading) aspirations to be so much more than that. An avid collector of vintage Ping putters and the world's biggest Payne Stewart fan, in 2021 Dave turned his front garden into a giant putting green to work on the weakest area of his game. Progress has been slow but steady! In addition to his work reviewing golf gear and writing features for Golf Monthly and T3, Dave is the founder of the Bang Average Golf website.
Dave’s lowest round is a one over par 73 around Kirkby Valley Golf Club in 2018, which included a bogey on the 18th to ruin the one and only chance he’ll ever have of shooting an even par or better score. That errant tee shot on 18 does not still haunt him to this day though, in fact he hardly ever thinks about it. No, honestly, he doesn’t. Not at all. Never.
Dave splits most of his golf between Hurlston Hall Golf Club in Ormskirk, Lancs, and Berrington Hall Golf Club in St Helens and has a handicap that fluctuates between 9 and 12, largely depending on how poor his putting is.
Dave’s current What’s In The Bag?
Driver: Wilson Staff Dynapower Titanium, 9.5°
5 wood: Tour Edge Exotics 722, 18°

Irons: Wilson Staff Dynapower, 6-PW
Wedges: Cleveland CBX ZipCore (graphite), 44°, 48°, 52°, 56°
