Ian Poulter What’s In The Bag? 2025 Update

Ian Poulter What's In The Bag?

Englishman Ian Poulter plays on the LIV Golf Tour and is one of the most iconic players to compete in the Ryder Cup. For many years he was a Titleist ambassador but he is no longer contracted with the brand and is free to use and test clubs from any brand. Let's take a look at his specific club specifications and setup.

Driver

What Driver Does Ian Poulter Use?

The Englishman had been using the Titleist TSi3 driver for some time but he has now moved into the newer GT3 model for 2025. The GT3 delivers exceptional acoustics and impact feel, as well as impressively high ball speeds across the face and high levels of adjustability.

Poulter has also used a Ping G430 LST driver and hasn’t really made up his mind which one to go with full time, so we may see both this year. His driver is fitted with a Fujikura Ventus Blue 6 S shaft which has proven to be a very popular model out on Tour. In our testing we thought the G430 LST was a hugely impressive driver that does a great job of balancing distance with consistency.

Fairways

What Fairway Woods Does Ian Poulter Use?

Poulter has replaced his TSi2 fairway wood. with a Titleist TSR2+ model. It has a 13 degree head with an AV 75 Flex TX shaft. We enjoyed testing this fairway wood. It’s a sleek, traditional looking and aimed at golfers in search of a combination of distance and consistency. A big advantage is that is so easy to launch, providing confidence that you don’t need to swing too hard to get the ball up and away.

Hybrid

What Hybrid Does Ian Poulter Use?

Poulter has also shown a willingness to put a hybrid in the bag, sometimes replacing his second fairway wood. As far as specific model goes, he was using a Titleist 816H2 hybrid for a long time but we have spotted him with a TSi2 model as well. This hybrid has an Aldila Tour Green shaft but is currently not in the bag as he has opted for an extra long iron, which we will explain below.

Irons

What Irons Does Ian Poulter Use?

Moving onto the irons and Poulter has remained loyal to his Titleist roots. He uses a pair of Titleist T200 irons (a 3 & 4) with Mitsubishi Tensei AV series shafts, before transitioning into a set of Titleist T100 which go from 5-9 and are fitted with Project X LZ 7.0 shafts. Poulter is one of many players to use a combo set of irons right now, with many players opting for a model they feel like they can control better with the shorter irons, and an iron that offers a touch more forgiveness at the top-end of the bag. This just shows even the finest ball-strikers in the world want and need a bit more forgiveness.

Wedges

What Wedges Does Ian Poulter Use?

Poulter has two Vokey WedgeWorks design 60 degree lob wedges with different bounce and lie angles. Which one goes in the bag depends on the course he is playing. They are fitted with S400 shafts. He also has three Titleist Vokey SM9’s in 48-10 (fitted with a 7.0 Project LZ 46 shaft) as well as 52-12 and 56-14 (S400 shafts).

Putter

What Putter Does Ian Poulter Use?

The Englishman has changed putters a lot recently. After using an Odyssey Stroke Lab 7 model for a long time, he switched to a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11 Prototype for a couple of years and is now using an old Odyssey DFX 1100 that he recently found in his snooker room! It has a slightly firmer insert to the Odyssey white hot putters and that feel is the reason it is in his bag at the moment. Poulter has said in the past that he does test a lot of different models and we do not expect this older model to stay in the bag throughout the year, but we’ll see!

Ball

Titleist Pro V1x

His ball is the Titleist Pro V1x. Like many other professionals, Poulter opts for the Pro V1x because it is an excellent all-rounder. It is designed for players who want a higher trajectory and increased spin relative to Pro V1, with a slightly firmer feel. In our testing we were particularly impressed by the improved ball flight in the long game which didn’t come at the cost of any short game control or feel.

Shoes

FootJoy

Poulter is best known for wearing apparel and shoes that stand out, so it is unsurprising that he wears FootJoy golf shoes, regularly switching between the Tarlow and Packard shoes in FootJoy's Premiere Series. The Packard is inspired by Frederick Packard, FootJoy’s founder and a shoe pioneer who drove the adoption of many modern manufacturing and design innovations that are still used today. The Tarlow is FootJoy's modern interpretation of the timeless cap toe design, made with a natural grain leather. Both of these shoes are classic designs that fit with Poulter’s look perfectly.
