No FW wood? Lighter shaft in hybrid than long iron? Interesting setup there.

Love this guys setup and how he plays! Hope he breaks through this week!

Completely agree. Love his demeanor, style and game. One of my new favs and cannot wait for him to win.

What putter line is that from?  Not a PLD or Vault as the bumpers on his are more rounded.

I think it's the karsten tr 1966 anser 2 they released about 6 years ago.

Good call, completely forgot about those!

He plays the 17* hybrid lofted down a bit and uses it as a FW replacement

 

Hes been on and off with a 3W in the bag for years I believe

I thought it was the other way round. DI-95X in the hybrid, and DI-85X in the 3i, no?

Yeah sorry. That’s what I meant.

Very nice wear mark on the putter developing

For a standard Ping OTR putter, these are extremely hard to find

That’s actually the milling.  Only reason I know that is I have that putter

You had me confused for a moment. Not that it takes a lot to confuse me...

 

But, yes, I think what's odd is that he has such a light shaft in the 3i iron. Seems like a big shift from a PX 6.5 in his 4i to a DI85X in his 3i. 

Whatever works, I guess.

Hope Sahith grabs his first win this year.

[Lacey Underall]

This guy is a ton of fun to watch. So many robots on Tour, Sahith is anything but boring.

Does anyone know why some of the Ping guys have put a Glide 2.0 lob wedge in their bag?  Hovland has recently bagged one too.

Because its Ping's last good wedge

Should have gone with it and professed you’re a certified flusher too 😂😂

 

I absolutely love how ping does mill that wear mark look. It’s so good

Mine is still basically new. Only games it a couple rounds

Love the unique setup here with the lofted down hybrid and the hybrid shaft in the 3 iron. I am also considering passing on my 3 wood and just lofting down a 5 wood and using a 3 iron. 5 wood is much easier to hit off the deck for me. 

[KimmerBH]

I'm actually surprised way more tour players don't go this route. Ditching the 3/5 wood for a much easier to hit hybrid.

Too large of a gap distance wise between driver and 2-3 hybrid.

The G425 2 hybrid is 17 standard loft. He plays it in the -2 setting, dropping the loft down to 15*. 15 is a fairly standard 3 wood loft from most manufacturers. Combine that with his club head speed, and he is not concerned about a driver gap. That 15* number also drops a little lower with dynamic loft.

That setting is the flat -1* 

 

Ping doesn't go 2* - 1.5* is the max adjustment

I have a tour issue hybrid that's 16*, cranked open 1* making it 15.5*.  There's still too large of a gap between my driver and hybrid where I need my 3 metal to fill the gap.  My ball speed is in the mid to high 170's like Sahith for reference.  This is what led to my previous statement.

It's a unique setup for sure. But, I guess it works for him.
