Driver

Ping G430 LST

Theegala is a Ping staff player and uses a full bag of clubs from the brand at the moment. Starting at the top of the bag he has a Ping G430 driver which features a 'CarbonFly crown'. A carbon crown might not seem significant but it has a fundamental impact on the performance of the club. The lighter material lowers the centre of gravity which in turn will produce a lower launch with reduced spin and increased distance. As carbon is a lighter material, it pulls mass from the crown of the club and allows it to be positioned elsewhere - expected to be further back for added forgiveness. His model is fitted with a Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 60 TX shaft.

Fairway Wood

Ping G430 Max

Interestingly Theegala had been using an older fairway wood model, the Ping G for a very long time but this has now been replaced with a Ping G430 Max five-wood instead. It has 16.5 degrees of loft and is fitted with a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8 TX shaft.

Irons

Ping i210, Ping Blueprint S

Moving onto the irons Theegala carries two different Ping irons at the moment. His longest iron is a three-iron and it is a Ping i210 model, and then he carries Ping Blueprint S irons from four-iron down to wedge. These new irons we are yet to test but if they are anything like the previous Blueprint iron then it is definitely a model only for the finest of ball-strikers.

Wedges

Ping Glide 4.0, Ping Glide 2.0

He also decides to use two different models of Ping wedge as well. His 50 and 54 degree models are the Ping Glide 4.0's which are the newest Ping wedges in that line. His 58 degree model is a Ping Glide 2.0 which is as you would expect, the wedge which came two generations before the 4.0. In our testing we found them to look great, they created a lot of spin and we enjoyed the fact there are a multitude of grind options.

Putter

Ping TR 1966 Anser 2

His putter has remained the same for a while now, and it is a Ping TR 1966 Anser 2 Prototype. The Anser has always been crucial to the Ping family – the model turned 50 in 2016 and the brand always makes an Anser blade design in all of its putter ranges. 

Ball

Titleist Pro V1

Finally Theegala uses the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball and has done for a while now. Providing superb all-round performance, it produces impressive distance off the tee, as well as excellent control in and around the greens. As such it is easily one of the best golf balls money can buy.

Shoes

FootJoy Pro/SL

Finally Theegala uses FootJoy Pro/SL golf shoes. He uses the 4th generation version and it sees some of the comfort we loved from the FootJoy Stratos golf shoe and the brand’s Hyperflex design added to the midsole of the 2022 Pro SL. We loved these shoes in testing because the comfort straight out of the box is superb and the sole design is among the best spikeless golf shoes we have worn on the course. It provides all the traction you need, even in wet, wintery conditions.
