Ben Griffin showed nerves of steel and relied on a precise club setup to secure his PGA Tour win in Mexico.
American golfer Ben Griffin claimed victory at the World Wide Technology Championship on the PGA Tour in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Coming from two shots behind in the final round, Griffin secured his third PGA Tour win of the season. A look into his bag reveals a unique mix of clubs from various manufacturers, all geared toward precision over forgiveness.
Driver and Fairway Wood: Built for Control
Off the tee, Griffin trusts the Ping G430 Max 10k driver with 9° loft. According to Ping, this model is their straightest and most forgiving driver ever, surpassing the 10,000 g-cm² MOI threshold. The large head profile and Carbonfly Wrap crown are designed to promote higher launch and lower spin. Complementing his driver is a TaylorMade Qi10 fairway wood with 15° loft. This club targets players with higher swing speeds, offering precision, versatility, and a solid feel. Its compact head and adjustable hosel allow loft tuning by ±2° for customized trajectory and spin.
WITB: Griffin Chooses Precision Over Forgiveness in Irons
For his irons, the 29-year-old from North Carolina opts for Japanese engineering with Mizuno Pro S3 irons (4-PW). These clubs are forged using Grain Flow Forged HD technology from soft steel, offering a solid yet soft feel. A copper underlay beneath the chrome finish adds further softness at impact. The compact head design, thin topline, and minimal offset cater to players seeking maximum control over ball flight and shot shaping, with minimal forgiveness.
Griffin also uses a Mizuno Pro T1 wedge with 50° loft, rounding out his Mizuno set. He complements this with TaylorMade MG5 wedges at 56° and 60°. These wedges are designed for control, feedback, and versatility, rather than forgiveness, making them ideal for low-handicap players aiming to maximize performance.
On the Green and the Ball of Choice
On the greens, Griffin uses a TaylorMade Spider Tour X Black putter. He recently switched from a classic Scotty Cameron Concept 2 Tour Prototype to the Spider Tour X Black, which combines blade-like feel with mallet-style stability. Notably, Griffin chooses a less common golf ball on tour—the Maxfli Tour X from the 2025 series—over the more typical Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1X, highlighting his preference for unique performance characteristics.
