There is only 1 non-PXG piece in Justin Lower’s golf kit, and that’s his driver. For his strokes off the tee, Lower uses the Ping G430 LST which is a much-loved driver among pros. In fact, Denny McCarthy recently used it during his battle at the top of the table in the 2024 Sony Open. The club offers control on spin and high ball speed along with a lot of forgiveness. It is priced at $399.98 on the Ping website.

According to the PXG website, Lower has a pair of 0317 Filled Cavity Irons from PXG. It is great for consistent play as it offers a lot of forgiveness due to its large frame. The large back cavity of the iron makes it suitable for its long iron design as it provides better control over strokes. The club is currently found at a discounted price of $179.99 per piece.

Justin Lower also carries the 0211 ST Irons that offer a better range of play. These clubs offer great control over the impact and a lot of forgiveness to their users. Each of these irons can be bought at $149 per club.

These are all the clubs Justin Lower has for his long-range shots. But what about the pieces he needs for bunkers and putts? Let’s learn about them.
