A T2 finish is amazing in itself, but what makes it even better is when it comes with a hefty paycheck and a boost of confidence! Ayaka Furue’s impressive T2 finish at the HSBC Women’s World Championship is a testament to her hard work and dedication to her craft. What’s even more impressive is that this result is just the latest step in her remarkable journey. After regaining her tour card in 2022, Furue has been on a roll, racking up top-10 finishes and showing the world what she’s capable of.

So, you wanna know the secret behind the Japanese golfer’s amazing swings on the golf course? Well, let’s take a peek into her golf bag and see what’s cooking! It turns out that Furue’s got a thing for Bridgestone clubs, and for good reason. Her trusty Bridgestone B3 driver (10.5 degrees) gives her the distance and accuracy she needs to crush it off the tee ($600). In fact, she ranked second in 2023 for her driving accuracy, even though she is one of the shortest hitters on the LPGA Tour. And when she’s navigating tight fairways or tricky lies, her Bridgestone Tour B JGR fairway woods, specifically her 3-wood and 5-wood, are the perfect go-to clubs.

These fairway woods boast a compact, forgiving design that makes them super reliable, even from the rough or sand traps. The 3 wood, with its slightly stronger loft, helps her reach those longer par-4s and par-5s with ease, while the 5 wood provides a higher, more forgiving trajectory for those tighter fairways. Plus, they’re priced pretty reasonably, around $299 each, making them a great value for any golfer looking to upgrade their game.

But Furue’s arsenal doesn’t stop there. She’s also got a Bridgestone Tour B JGR 4-hybrid that’s like a Swiss Army knife – it’s super versatile and helps her get out of sticky situations. And when it comes to precision and control, her Bridgestone Tour B X-CB irons (5-iron to Pitching Wedge) are the real MVPs per the Golf Views Guide. These irons cost around $1,299 for a set of six, but they’re totally worth it. With these clubs in her bag, Furue is able to make those incredible swings that leave us all in awe. We can’t wait to see what she does next.

Ayaka Furue’s choice in wedges and putters

When it comes to getting up and down from tricky lies, Ayaka Furue relies on her trusty Bridgestone wedges. She’s got a trio of them in her bag: the Bridgestone Tour B BRM in 50 and 54 degrees, priced around $149 each, and the Bridgestone Tour B B-Limited BRM Full Milled in 58 degrees, which costs around $199. These wedges offer incredible spin and control, helping Furue navigate even the toughest greenside situations. With their precision-milled faces and expertly crafted grooves, it’s no wonder Furue trusts these wedges to help her get the job done.

But what about when she’s lining up a putt? Furue turns to her TaylorMade Spider EX putter, which has been getting rave reviews from golfers everywhere. This putter is priced around $349, but trust us, it’s worth every penny. With its innovative design and expertly crafted face, the Spider EX offers incredible stability and roll. And when it comes to her golf ball of choice, Furue sticks with the Bridgestone Tour B XS, which offers incredible distance and accuracy. Priced around $49.99 per dozen, these balls are a steal. With these clubs in her bag, Furue’s got the tools she needs to take on any course and come out on top!
