Aberg during an interview with Skratch shared that, if you want to win a tournament, you need to be a little more aggressive, I think. When shown data from the previous RSM Classic, he agreed and said could do that every week. Aberg was ranked 6th in driving accuracy and 2nd in driving distance.
Definitely, the driver is definitely the key to his performance. He uses the Titleist TSR2 driver along with a TaylorMade Stealth 2 3-wood and a 5-wood. With easy driving of more than 400 yards, the golfer relied on his driver, which is 45.5 inches long and has a head size of 460cc. Fitted with an Aldila Rogue M-AX Shaft and a 9-degree loft angle, fits well with his style.
Even for better distance coverage, the professional uses Titleist T-MB 718 iron. This club is known for its versatile performance and unique design. Great for hitting more distance, which Aberg really prefers. This iron is great for professionals who prefer high swing speed.

To get the best precision in shots, the golfer uses Titleist Vokey SM9. The wedge is available in 3 loft angles, i.e., 50, 54, and 60 degrees suiting the style of the players. It is paired with the KBS Tour 130X shaft, which makes it a versatile option for short games. The wedge offers great spin and trajectory control, making it a great option for getting to the hole.
