The clock is ticking for the onset of the one-of-a-kind mixed-gender edition of the Match. With stars like Lexi Thompson gearing up to display her talent at the Park Golf Course, the competition is set to be intense in this entertainment-centered golfing challenge on February 26th. But will Thompson be able to win the trophy from under the noses of stars like Rory McIlroy and Max Homa?

Well, only time can answer this. However, her choice of artillery in this ninth edition of the game can help us make an educated guess. So what are the secrets to potential success hidden in the 29-year-old’s bag?

Considering Miss Thompson is a Cobra Puma athlete, one would expect her bag be full of the brand’s equipment. However, there is a small portion of diversity in her bag. Starting from her driver that helps her make her impactful shots, the LPGA sensation makes use of the Cobra RadSpeed driver with a 9-degree loft and a Fujikura Ventus Black shaft.

Further, her carefully-picked set of clubs is what makes her a household name at just the age of 29. To make her wondrous shots even more perfect, she uses the Cobra S2 Forged (4-PW) irons, all fitted with Project X shafts. She puts her trust in her 3-irons in the Srixon Z U85 with Project X Rifle 5.0 shafts, however.

Her most recent addition to her strong picks is the Cobra King TEC Utility with a 17° loft and a Project X Rifle 5.0 shaft. She also deploys an interesting mix of fairway woods to further perfect her shots.

For the purpose of 3-woods, she chose the Cobra King LTD in Lexi Blue with a 12.5-degree loft and Graphite Design Tour AD GP 6S shafts. Her 5-woods are an occasional addition to her bag. She trusts the Cobra King LTD with an 18.5° loft and Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7S shaft.

But is that all of the contents of her bag? No, there’s more!
