# Ruoning Yin's WITB: the all-Callaway bag, three iron models deep

> A utility iron, a set of Apex Ti Fusion and a set of X-Forged — Yin's six-win Callaway bag runs three different iron models in a row. Every club, club by club.

**Setup verified:** 2026-08-30

Ruoning Yin plays Callaway from the driver to the ball, and the interesting part sits in the middle. Above the wedges she carries three separate iron models: an Apex UT utility 4-iron, Apex Ti Fusion in the 5- and 6-iron, then X-Forged from the 7-iron to the pitching wedge. The driver is a Quantum Triple Diamond at 9°, the fairway woods a Quantum at 15° and a Paradym Ai Smoke Max at 18°, and the putter an Odyssey Ai-Dual 7 CH.

Yin won the FM Championship at TPC Boston in August 2026 for her sixth LPGA title, holding off Hyo Joo Kim. She won the KPMG Women's PGA in 2023 and rose to world No. 1 that September, and every one of her LPGA wins has come as a Callaway staffer.

## Notes

Three iron models across seven clubs is the story. A utility 4-iron, a hollow-body pair at 5 and 6, then forged blades from the 7-iron down: forgiveness where the club is hardest to hit, control where she is scoring. Blended sets are normal on tour, but two transition points rather than one is not.

The fairway woods are a generation apart. A current Quantum 3-wood sits above a Paradym Ai Smoke Max 5-wood from 2024 — the same pattern visible across the 2026 Solheim bags, where drivers get replaced on the release cycle and the lofted woods stay put for years.

Callaway's own report of the winning bag does not carry shaft specifications, so we have not printed any. The lofts and models below are what the brand published; where we would normally list a shaft, we have left it out rather than borrow one from an older check.
