Alright, let’s talk about figuring out what’s in Sam Bennett’s golf bag. It’s something I got curious about, especially after seeing him play, you know? You see a guy hitting it well, especially an amateur holding his own with the pros, and you start wondering what tools he’s using.
So, my process kicked off pretty simply. I just went looking online. Fired up the search engine, typed in stuff like “Sam Bennett golf clubs,” “Sam Bennett WITB,” “what driver does Sam Bennett use,” that kind of thing. You cast a wide net first.
Finding the pieces
Loads of results popped up, mostly from the big golf news sites and some equipment forums. I started clicking through, reading articles, looking at pictures from tournaments. You gotta piece it together sometimes. It’s not always laid out perfectly in one spot, especially since guys, even amateurs, might tinker with their setup.
I noticed a few things kept showing up consistently:
- Ping seemed to be a big part of his setup, especially the driver and fairway woods. I saw mentions of a G430 driver quite a bit.
- His irons were often listed as Ping Blueprint S, which makes sense for a good ball-striker.
- Wedges – saw Titleist Vokey mentioned frequently. Standard stuff for good players.
- Putter – this one sometimes varied a bit in reports, but a Scotty Cameron putter name came up often.
Checking and Double-Checking
Now, you can’t just take the first list you find as gospel. I tried to cross-reference. Looked for articles from different dates – did his setup change between, say, the Masters and other events? Sometimes you see small tweaks. Maybe a different fairway wood or a change in wedge lofts depending on the course.
I also paid attention to photos. Zooming in on pictures from tournaments helps. You can sometimes make out the model names on the clubs, or at least the brand. It’s like playing detective a little bit.
Putting the List Together
After scrolling through a bunch of pages and comparing notes, I felt like I had a pretty solid idea. I basically mentally listed it out, or sometimes I’ll jot down the main components if I’m really trying to lock it in.
Driver: Ping G430 LST seemed the most common mention.
Fairway Wood: Ping G430 Max.
Irons: Ping Blueprint S (often mentioned as a mixed set with maybe a stronger lofted iron at the top).
Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM9.
Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport style putter.
Ball: Titleist Pro V1.
What I learned doing this
It wasn’t super complicated, mostly just took a bit of digging and comparing. What stood out was how his bag, while top-tier stuff, wasn’t full of super exotic or old gear. It looked like a solid, modern setup you’d expect from a high-level player sponsored by Ping. It kinda reinforces that it’s more about the swing than having some magic club, you know? He’s just got good tools and knows how to use them. It’s always interesting to see what these players trust when they’re out there competing.
