What's in the bag of a 'RED HOT' Wyndham Clark?
Wyndham Clark is one of the few elite players who is currently an equipment free agent, meaning he mixes brands throughout the bag instead of playing a full staff setup. Wyndham offers a unique perspective on the best equipment in golf because, as a free agent not tied to any single manufacturer, he has the freedom to play whichever clubs perform best for his game. For the average golfer, this makes his bag especially valuable to study, as it reflects real-world performance and fitting results rather than brand obligations or sponsorship commitments. Golfers who want a setup which helps their game will often be sold on the "complete set" from one brand however sometimes it is best to mix and match respective to the categories of your game.
After he has just come off a massive win of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, lets take a look at his mix of clubs and why this works for him.
The "D" Stick: TaylorMade Qi4D Driver (10.5°), Project X Titan Yellow 60 TX shaft
The Qi4D has been getting some great reviews after a mixed array of feedback on the Qi35, players like Rory were skeptical about the Qi35 although seem to really enjoy playing the new Qi4D- However, Rory still says his favorite driver of all time is the ancient M2. Clark plays this driver with a Project X shaft. Wyndham Clark's success in 2026 has been built on a strong tee-to-green foundation, hitting 67.0% of greens in regulation while maintaining a 58.6% driving accuracy rate, a combination of length and precision that has helped propel him back into the world's elite.
The Woods, TaylorMade Qi4D Tour 3-Wood (15°), Ping G440 Max 7-Wood (21°)
By using the same club family for both his driver and 3-wood, Clark benefits from consistent technology, shaping, and visual cues, which can promote confidence and a smoother transition between the two lowest-lofted clubs in the bag—a concept many amateur golfers may find beneficial as well. Some golfers like Tiger Woods will advise to find a 3 wood that works and stick with it, as he still uses the old M5 from TaylorMade. In Clarks case, I like the choice to have visual consistency and feel for the 2 clubs where you have similar swing thoughts and goals.
The Ping G440 Max 7 Wood however switches brands and seems to be a "Magic Wand" for Clark. It is a separate category of club in his mind I would assume and offers a lot more versatility. He uses this off the fairway more and can adjust his shot shapes and distances, controlling spin and giving more forgiveness than a long iron. Clark does not have any hybrids in his current setup as we see more and more golfers gravitate towards 7 woods.
Once considered a niche club, the 7-wood has become one of golf's hottest equipment trends, with players increasingly embracing its ability to launch the ball high, land softly, and provide confidence from a variety of lies.
The Irons, a mix:
- Titleist T200 (4-5 iron)
- Titleist T100 (6-9 iron)
- True Temper Dynamic Gold X7 shafts
Mixed iron sets have become increasingly popular as golfers blend more forgiving long irons with more precise scoring irons from the same club family, while occasionally using utility driving irons (UDIs) that stand apart from the set to provide a lower-launching, more controlled option off the tee or from tight lies. The Titleist T100, T200 mix is a proven staple which show consistency and feel among the best in the world.
Wedges Galore: Titleist Vokey SM11, 46°, 50°, 54°, and 60°
In lieu of a pitching wedge, Clark like some other big names like Bryson have switched to a 46 Degree wedge, moving their PW swing thoughts to align more with precision and feel rather than power and drive. To be fair, at 150 yards and in, the goal becomes precision and spin control. Golfers who have consistent wedges and can hit comfortable shots within 100 yards can look to the 46 degree options as a potential replacement for a PW. I would also imagine there are "bump and run scenarios" with a 46 degree that become possible without the weight and backing of an iron shape.
Putt for Dough... Ping Scottsdale TEC Ally Blue Onset
Clark’s putter setup is built around a stable, face-balanced design that suits a repeatable, slightly arcing stroke, helping him keep the face square through impact and control start line more consistently under pressure. The balance and weighting of his Ping Scottsdale TEC Ally Blue putter allow for a smooth tempo and improved distance control, which has been a key factor in his recent performance gains on the greens. In 2026, he’s ranked among the better performers on tour in strokes gained putting, with his confidence on short putts and mid-range conversion rates playing a major role in his wins, including his U.S. Open victory where timely putting runs helped separate him from the field on the weekend.
Balls: Titleist Pro V1x
Do we even have to go into detail here? The ProV1 and ProV1x are proven to be the best golf ball- maybe not bang for your buck though.
The good news is you can buy preowned ProV1, ProV1x, Tp5, Tp5x, and so much more on birdienestgolf.ca
