Ben Griffin's WITB: four brands and a golf ball nobody else plays
Arguably the most genuinely mixed bag in the world's top 30 — a Ping driver, TaylorMade woods, wedges and putter, Mizuno irons, and a Maxfli ball almost unseen on tour.
By Jordan Hale · Equipment Writer
Ben Griffin plays the most genuinely mixed bag in the top 30: a Ping G430 Max 10K driver, TaylorMade fairway woods, wedges and putter, Mizuno Pro S-3 irons — and a Maxfli Tour X ball, which makes him effectively the only high-profile male tour player gaming Dick's Sporting Goods' own brand. He has won on it more than once.
Two things stand out beyond the ball. The driver is a G430 Max 10K he has never replaced, despite Ping having launched newer heads since; and the putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X mallet he only switched to at the 2025 World Wide Technology Championship, having walked away from a Scotty Cameron blade. He won that week and kept it.

Ben Griffin's bag
Driver
Ping G430 Max 10K
9° · UST Mamiya LIN-Q Proto V1 7 TX
A notable retention: every reputable check from his November 2025 win through to July 2026 still has the G430 Max 10K rather than a newer Ping head.
3-wood
TaylorMade Qi4D
15° · UST Mamiya LIN-Q Powercore White 8 TX
The loft is constant, the head has rotated. He won the 2025 World Wide Technology Championship with a Qi10 at 15°, National Club Golfer's February 2026 check has the Qi4D, and Today's Golfer's July 2026 list has a Qi35. Treat the model as the current best-supported answer rather than a settled one.
7-wood
21° · UST Mamiya LIN-Q Powercore White 8 TX
Listed as a Qi10 21° in his 2025 winning bag. This slot also swaps out for a long iron at some courses.
Irons
Mizuno Pro S-3
4-iron to pitching wedge · True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100
The one part of the bag every source agrees on, unchanged from his 2025 wins.
- MizunoGap wedge
Gap wedge
Mizuno Pro T-1
52°
Split sources on the head, not the loft. golf.com's list from his 2025 win has a Mizuno Pro T-1 52°/10S bent to 51°, and Today's Golfer's July 2026 list still has a Mizuno T-1 here (at 50°); National Club Golfer's February 2026 check instead has a TaylorMade MG5 52°-SB09.
Wedges
56° SB, 60° LB · True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400
Today's Golfer's July 2026 list has an older MG4 in the 60° slot; the MG5 is the better-supported reading across his 2025 winning bag and the February 2026 check.
Putter
SuperStroke Zenergy 1.0PT grip
Switched in from a Scotty Cameron blade at the 2025 World Wide Technology Championship, which he won. Worth watching, though: GolfWRX's tour-photo forum carried a 'Ben Griffin's custom Cameron putter' thread from the 2026 RBC Heritage, while Today's Golfer (July 2026) and National Club Golfer both still list the Spider.
- MaxfliGolf ball

Maxfli Tour X
The genuine outlier of the bag. Maxfli is Dick's Sporting Goods' own brand, and Griffin is the only prominent male tour player using it.

The story of the bag
Dating: the core of this bag — driver, irons, putter and ball — is corroborated by Today's Golfer's update of 13 July 2026 for The Open, National Club Golfer's detailed check of 4 February 2026, and golf.com's club-by-club list from his November 2025 win. The fairway wood models and the gap wedge are where those sources diverge, and we have flagged each in place.
The long-game slot above his 4-iron is not fixed. National Club Golfer's February 2026 list adds a Mizuno Pro M-13 2-iron, Today's Golfer's July list a Mizuno JPX 923 3-iron, and his 2025 winning bag had no long iron at all — it rotates with the 7-wood depending on the week, so we have left it out of the fixed 14 rather than name a club he may not be carrying.
Griffin has no single club sponsor. Four manufacturers are represented across the bag, and his only firm equipment tie is the Maxfli ball deal he signed in 2024.
Frequently asked
- What driver does Ben Griffin use?
- A Ping G430 Max 10K at 9° with a UST Mamiya LIN-Q Proto V1 7 TX shaft. He has stayed with it through newer Ping releases — it is one of the longest-serving drivers among the world's top 30.
- What ball does Ben Griffin play?
- A Maxfli Tour X. He signed with Maxfli, Dick's Sporting Goods' own brand, in 2024 and is the only high-profile male tour player using it — including for his PGA Tour wins.
- What putter did Ben Griffin switch to?
- A TaylorMade Spider Tour X mallet, put in play at the 2025 World Wide Technology Championship in place of a Scotty Cameron blade. He won that week and it has stayed in the bag through 2026, though tour photographers have since spotted a custom Cameron in his hands, so the slot is not guaranteed.
- Who are Ben Griffin's club sponsors?
- None exclusively. His bag runs a Ping driver, TaylorMade fairway woods, wedges and putter, Mizuno irons and a Maxfli ball — four brands, chosen slot by slot.
