The Honda LPGA Thailand is heating up, and American Angel Yin is taking center stage! With a second successive eight-under 64, Yin stormed into the lead after the third round, carding eight birdies without dropping a shot to reach 21 under, five strokes ahead of second-round leader Akie Iwai. The 26-year-old Californian was modest about her performance, saying she “got away with some good lies” and had a “great mindset.” Meanwhile, local favorites Jeeno Thitikul and Moriya Jutanugarn are tied for third at 15 under par. With a commanding lead, Yin is poised to secure the title on Sunday, but the question on everyone’s mind is…what equipment is Yin using to climb the ladder?

We’ve got the inside scoop on Angel Yin’s golf clubs, and it’s pretty interesting! The American golfer, who’s had two pro wins since 2016, has a unique mix of clubs that seem to be working wonders for her. Her driver of choice is the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond, which costs around £449.00 (RRP £599.00). However, she’s recently been spotted with a Ping G430 LST driver, so it’s unclear which one she’ll stick with.

The golfer also got a few other trusty clubs in her bag, including her Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero Fairway Wood (13.5°) priced at £269.00, and her Callaway Apex 19 Hybrid, which costs between £99.99 and £231.99 (pre-owned). What’s impressive is that Yin doesn’t have a contract with any club manufacturer, yet she’s managed to put together a solid set of clubs that are helping her compete at the top level.

With four top-10 finishes in her last six outings, it’s clear that Yin’s got game – and her equipment choices are proving that you don’t need the latest and greatest clubs to succeed. But is that all she has in her bag? Well, no!

Angel Yin’s irons, wedges, and putter of choice

So, let’s dive into Angel Yin’s bag and see what irons, wedges, and putter she’s using to dominate the course. Yin’s iron game is seriously strong, and she relies on a full set of Callaway Apex TCB Irons, which will set you back £1,100.00. These irons are designed for top-notch ball strikers, and Yin’s set includes a 4 or 5-iron through to a pitching wedge. She pairs these irons with KBS C-Taper or C-Taper Lite shafts, which gives her the smooth finish she needs to take her game to the next level.

When it comes to wedges, Yin uses PXG 0311 Forged Wedges, which are priced at £149.99. Although these wedges are from 2017, it’s unlikely Yin is using the same ones – after all, pros tend to switch out their wedges pretty frequently. She’s also spotted with a prototype wedge, but the details are still under wraps, leaving us all curious about what’s in store for her game.

Yin’s putter of choice is the Burke AI-77 Putter, which is a pretty unique find in the world of professional golf. Unfortunately, this putter isn’t available to the public just yet, so we can’t all rush out and buy one. Rounding out her bag is the Titleist Pro V1 Golf Ball, priced at £42.95. With her impressive iron game, reliable wedges, and trusty putter, Yin is a force to be reckoned with on the course. It’s no wonder she’s been making waves in the golf world, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for this talented player.
