Ben Griffin WITB June 2024: PGA Tour Pro’s Golf Bag Explored

Ben Griffin joined the PGA Tour in 2023. He has had 1 runner-up finish and 3 top-5 finishes so far. At the 2022 Butterfield Bermuda Championship, he finished tied for third with a total of 17-under par. In the 59 events he has played so far, he has made 39 cuts.

Currently sitting in second place at the Hamilton Golf & Country Club with a 10-under at the end of Saturday’s round, Griffin is proving himself to be a rising star. With no win so far on the American Tour, he is eyeing one, and his skill, along with his equipment, is to play an integral role. 

Ben Griffin’s arsenal of choice 

At 28, Griffin relies on a Mizuno ST-X 230 driver for his long shots. Priced around $500, this driver features a more rounded, deeper profile with weight positioned closer to the hosel, resulting in a slightly higher spinning and draw-biased performance. This makes it more workable for elite players like Griffin. He pairs it with a LING M40X shaft, which enhances ball speed for natural drawers.

For his Fairway Woods, Griffin turns to TaylorMade. His 3-wood is a TaylorMade Qi10 Fairway with a 15-degree loft, popular among both Tour players and amateurs for its ideal blend of distance and forgiveness. This club is priced at around $349. Additionally, he uses a 5-wood with 18-degree lofts and a 7-wood TaylorMade Stealth with a 21-degree loft. His TaylorMade Stealth Plus fairway wood with a 19-degree loft delivers precision playability and fast ball speeds. Each of these fairway woods is equipped with a LING M40X shaft, with prices ranging from $349 to $429.

Griffin’s choice of irons then shifts back to Mizuno. He uses Mizuno Pro 241 golf irons (4-PW), which feature aggressively tapered blades for an ideal trajectory across the set, delivering flighted long irons and penetrating short irons. These irons are paired with Tour Dynamic Gold X100 shafts, and the set is priced at $1400 on the official Mizuno store.

Becoming the first PGA Tour pro for his different ball choice

For his wedges, Griffin relies on Mizuno T22 wedges with 46-degree, 50-degree, and 56-degree lofts. Additionally, he uses a TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 wedge with a 60-degree loft, priced around $179. This wedge utilizes a laser-etched spin tread and a raw face for a better bite around the greens and superior spin in wet conditions.

Finally, to perfect his putting game, Griffin uses the Scotty Cameron Tour Only Concept 2 GSS putter. This putter features a GSS insert for a tour-preferred sound and feel, helping him achieve those crucial finishing touches on the green. For golf balls, he relies on Maxfli. With Maxfli Tour X balls, he has seen increased distance off the tee, stability in the wind, and great control around the greens. Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, but he isn’t the first professional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson did it before him.

As Ben Griffin prepares for the final round of the RBC Canadian Open, the question remains: can his chosen arsenal help him clinch his maiden win? Stay tuned to find out if Griffin’s choices take him to victory.
