Equipment

Equipment coverage on Golfgrinder spans the entire OEM stack — TaylorMade, Titleist, Callaway, Ping, Cobra, Srixon and Mizuno — with weekly news on driver launches, iron releases and ball technology. We cover what-is-in-the-bag (WITB) breakdowns for the top OWGR-ranked players plus full equipment write-ups during the four men’s Majors and the FedEx Cup playoffs. The 2026 driver market is dominated by TaylorMade’s Qi35 platform (42 of the top 100 OWGR players), with Titleist’s GT line at 28 and Callaway’s Elyte at 17. Equipment-of-the-year features run each December, ranking the top driver, irons set, wedge model, putter and golf ball based on PGA Tour usage data and aggregated Tour-pro reviews. Reviews are independent — no manufacturer pays for placement. Coverage includes the equipment-specific Major championship moments (Bryson DeChambeau’s Krank driver at the 2024 U.S. Open, Scottie Scheffler’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X putter switches), the longstanding manufacturer-staff battles between Titleist and TaylorMade for top-50 players, and the rule changes — particularly the 2024 driver-CT testing protocol — that have reshaped Tour-equipment choices. Equipment news is the most-syndicated content category on Golfgrinder and feeds back into our player profiles where current driver/iron/putter/ball details are listed.
