For his driver, Pendrith uses a Ping G410 with a 9-degree loft. The Canadian fits that with Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green Small Batch 70 6.5 TX. The shaft is listed at Callaway Golf for $445. The PGA Tour Pro is averaging a 317-yard driving distance at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
Pendrith uses a Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond with a Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green Small Batch 90 6.5 TX shaft as his 3-wood, which offers a lower spin and deeper ball flight. The fairway wood comes at $349.99 at the PGATour Super Store. For 7-wood, though, the Richmond native switches to Ping. The G425 max with a 20.5-degree loft is fitted with the same shaft.
On the other hand, Taylor Pendrith prefers Srixon for his irons. For 2 and 3 irons, the Canadian goes with the Srixon ZX. For 4–9, it’s the Srixon ZX7. This is also where Pendrith made a slight change from 2022. The 30-year-old has ditched the Srixon ZU85 that he used as a 3-iron earlier. The ZX7 MKII is priced at $1199.99 at the PGA Tour Super Store.

Putting is Taylor Pendrith’s core strength
Taylor Pendrith changed his putter sometime between August 2022 and April 2023. Previously using an Oddessy 0-Works Black 3T, the Canadian star shifted to an Odessey 2-Ball ten. The double-bend face-balanced mallet putter has helped the Kent alum reach 17th in SG: Putting (0.538). In the ongoing CJ Cup Byron Nelson, Pendrith is leading the field in putts per GIR.
Back-to-back eagles? For the solo lead?!
