Ben Griffin showed nerves of steel and a precise club setup to claim victory at the World Wide Technology Championship.
American golfer Ben Griffin secured a narrow win at the World Wide Technology Championship on the PGA Tour in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Overcoming a two-stroke deficit in the final round, Griffin captured his third PGA Tour victory of the season. A look inside his bag reveals a unique blend of clubs from various manufacturers, focused more on precision than forgiveness.
Driver and Woods: Power and Precision
Off the tee, Griffin trusts the Ping G430 Max 10k driver with 9° loft. According to Ping, it’s their straightest and most forgiving driver ever, surpassing a combined MOI threshold of 10,000 g-cm². The large clubhead profile and Carbonfly Wrap crown are designed to promote higher launch and lower spin. His fairway wood of choice is the TaylorMade Qi10 with 15° loft, aimed at players with higher swing speeds who value precision, versatility, and feel. The adjustable hosel allows loft tuning by ±2° for customized ball flight and spin.
WITB: Griffin opts for control over forgiveness in irons
For his irons, the 29-year-old from North Carolina relies on Japanese craftsmanship with Mizuno’s Pro S3 (4-PW). These irons are forged using the Grain Flow Forged HD process from soft steel, providing solid yet soft feedback. A copper underlay beneath the chrome finish enhances feel at impact. The compact head design, thin topline, and minimal offset cater to players seeking maximum control and shot-shaping ability, with little margin for error.
Griffin also uses a Mizuno Pro T1 wedge (50°) and complements it with TaylorMade MG5 wedges (56° and 60°). These wedges are designed for low-handicap players who prioritize control, feedback, and versatility over forgiveness.
On the green and the ball of choice
On the greens, Griffin recently switched from a Scotty Cameron Concept 2 Tour Prototype to a TaylorMade Spider Tour X Black putter. This model blends the characteristics of a blade putter with the stability of a mallet. Notably, Griffin uses a Maxfli Tour X golf ball from the 2025 series—a rare choice among pros who typically favor Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x balls.
