For a golfer to maintain his PGA Tour status, it is important to stay consistent with their performance. Inconsistency affected Mark Hubbard‘s long career, which began in 2012. After turning pro, in the next year, Hubbard won his first PGA Tour event, i.e., The Wildfire Invitational. However, the victories went to a halt after that, resulting in dropping back to the Korn Ferry Tour in 2019.

While not for long, the professional has found his way through to the PGA Tour with his win at the LECOM Suncoast Classic 2019. Even recently, in 2023, he made it to the FedExCup ranking playoffs for the first time. The great comeback of the golfer seems to be coming, overcoming the inconsistency issues. Here is what the American professional prefers in the course for overcoming his issue and overpowering other competitors.

Hubbard’s average driving distance of 300.30 yards is acquired by his Ping G430 driver with 9 degrees loft and Fujikura Ventus TR 6-X. The long driver, with its great forgiveness and ease of play, makes it a great option to stay on the fairway with each shot. The $400 driver offers a great package for the players. Along with the driver, he prefers hybrids from the same brand, i.e., Ping G430 Max 3-15 and 7-21 with supporting shafts 7-X and 8-TX, respectively. The hybrids offering low ball spin and increased ball speed are a variable option for longer courses. Coming at a price of $300, it ensures higher accuracy, irrespective of the course.
