Is Tyrrell Hatton's success more about his gear or his sheer talent? Let's hear your thoughts!

If there are two things that Tyrell Hatton is known for, they are his aggression and precision. He is an aggressive player off the tee, and well, sometimes on the greens as well when he drops a F-bomb here and there on the course. His precision is something we get to see inside the ropes. This powerful combination has made him one of the most formidable golfers and helped him earn a name and fame in the golf world.

But what has helped him stay consistent on the greens? His equipment, for sure. Hatton needs the irons and drivers to accurately launch the ball as close to the green as possible and the wedges and putters to get the ball into the hole. Let’s take a look at what equipment this PING-sponsored pro uses to get the best results from his natural athleticism.

Power and consistency are key for Tyrrell Hatton

Tyrrell Hatton is a powerful driver for the club. He averages about 304 yards off the tee and uses the PING G430 LST Driver at a loft of 9.1 degrees. This driver is state-of-the-art and is the best choice for consistency and low spin; hence, the LST acronym stands for Low Spin Technology. This top-of-the-shelf piece of equipment costs between $339 and $649. He uses a Mitsubishi Diamond Mana TB 60TX shaft on the driver.

As for the Fairway Woods, he remains with the PING G430 Max models. Both have Mitsubishi Diamana shafts, but one is the TB 70TX 3 wood with a clubhead loft of 14 degrees and the other is the PD 80TX 7 wood with a clubhead loft of 21 degrees. These fairway woods offer great forgiveness and also deliver high performance. These woods have a lot of technology in them, including a carbon fly wrap and a variable roll radius on the face. These retail for approximately $350.

For his approach play, Tyrrell Hatton uses two sets of irons. For 3-6, he uses the PING i230 irons and Ping Blueprint S models, and for 7 upwards to pitching wedge. He uses the Nippon N.S. Pro Modus 3 Tour 120 X shafts. The i230 irons are not exactly blades, as they have a shallow cavity, but they are meant for very good strikers of the ball. A full set of these can cost from $1,312.50 to $1,499.00. They are extremely precise and create a great feel and sound. The Blueprint S irons have a cavity in the back with a small stripe but are nonetheless also very precise and offer a little more forgiveness. These cost about $1,487.

Precision for the win

Hatton carries three wedges. He uses two PING S159 wedges, one 50 degrees, and the other 54 degrees. These are Ping’s precision wedges made of carbon steel, which have a variety of grinds. Hatton uses the S grind, which provides the most versatility. His 60-degree wedge is from Titleist and is named the Vokey WedgeWorks proto wedge.

To get the ball in the hole, he uses the mallet design of a PING Vault Oslo putter with a PING PP58 +6 grip. This putter was released in 2016, and he has used it for many years, it has gotten him quite a few good scores.

Tyrrell Hatton’s bag is full of state-of-the-art clubs and a few trusty staples. He employs both the newest technology as well as sticks with his most trusted clubs. He seems to be very much the ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ kind of person when it comes to equipment.
