Overall I consider myself practical and traditional when it comes to my equipment. Golf is a game of misses, so I would link to thank Pat Carli and Ping for providing me with a bag full of forgiving clubs to make my misses better.

Driver:

I am currently playing a Ping G400 LST. I have the 8.5-degree head set at the stated loft. The LST head helps to maintain a lower spin while the neutral face alignment allows me to shape shots in both directions. The shaft in my driver is the Ping Tour 65 stiff at a playing length of 45.75″.

Fairway:

My fairway wood is a Ping G400 3-wood set at the stated loft of 14.5 degrees. Like my driver, the neutral face alignment allows me to shape shots in both directions. The shaft in my 3-wood is the Ping Tour 75 stiff at a playing length of 43″.

Hybrid:

This is the part of my bag where I sometimes interchange clubs depending on the playing conditions. My normal hybrid is a Ping G400 19 degree with the Ping Tour 85 stiff shaft. Under summer conditions, I transition to a Ping i210 22.5 degree 4-iron with a KBS Tour 120 stiff steel shaft. The 4-iron gives me a lower trajectory with more roll which makes it a good option off the tee on tight driving holes during the summer months. Under softer conditions, or at courses demanding a higher trajectory on approach shots, I have incorporated a Ping G410 22 degree hybrid with the Ping Tour 85 stiff shaft instead of the 4-iron. This hybrid provides a higher trajectory and a steeper landing angle which helps to hold the greens on longer approach shots.

Irons:

My iron set is a black color code (standard lie angle) Ping i210 4-iron through U-wedge with KBS Tour 120 stiff steel shafts. This smaller profile cavity back set provides a great feel and forgiveness on mishits, while still allowing for workability and trajectory control. As I stated above, I sometimes remove the 4-iron in favor of a 22 degree 4-hybrid depending on the playing conditions.

Wedges:

I carry 4 wedges in my bag. My pitching wedge and utility (gap) wedge are a part of my Ping i210 iron set, with lofts of 45 degrees and 50 degrees respectively. I chose to match these two clubs to my iron set because I primarily hit these clubs with full swings and a square clubface. My two higher lofted wedges are Ping Glide 3.0. My sand wedge is a 56 degree SS 12 (standard sole with 12 degrees of bounce) bent 1 degree strong to 55 degrees with 11 degrees of bounce. This allows for a consistent 5-degree gap between all of my wedges. My lob wedge is a 60 degree TS 6 (this sole with 6 degrees of bounce). Having a mid bounce sand wedge and low bounce lob wedge allows me the flexibility to play short-game shots from all turf conditions, types of lies, and sand conditions. As with my irons, my wedges all have the KBS Tour 120 stiff steel shafts.

Putter:

My Putter is the Ping Sigma 2 Valor set at 34 inches with a 70-degree lie angle and 3 degrees of loft. It is a face-balanced, full mallet with a long, single white line. I use the site line in conjunction with a Sharpie line I drew on the side stamp of my ball for aiming and feedback on my putting stroke. If I see the line roll end over end on a good line with good speed I am happy! I also like that the high MOI design of the putter provides extra stability and a more consistent roll on putts of all length.

Grips:
