Patrick Cantlay What's In The Bag?
A multiple PGA Tour champion, including two victories at the Memorial Tournament and a FedEx Cup win in 2021, Patrick Cantlay used to be a Titleist staff player and had a full bag from the brand. However, that partnership ended in 2023 - so what clubs is he playing now? Let's take a closer look at his equipment line-up for 2024.
Driver
What Driver Does Patrick Cantlay Use?
Interestingly, Cantlay had been using the Titleist 917D2 driver for a while and was one of the few staffers who didn't switch to the newer TS models when they came out. However, he did eventually switch to the newer TS3 model, which he is still using. It has 9.5° of loft (set at 8.75°)‚ and is fitted with a Mitsubishi Diamana ZF 60 TX shaft.
When we tested the TS3, it provided speed from the first shot and, if you want to tweak your set-up, the adjustability options are very impressive. It's a classic-looking model, too, traditional and very Titleist-like down behind the ball.
Fairway Woods
What Fairway Wood Does Patrick Cantlay Use?
Like many other professionals, Cantlay rarely changes his fairway wood slot in the bag because it can be a hard club to get right. As such, he continues to use a Titleist 915F model (three wood) which first showed up on Tour back in June 2014.
Back then, the feature that raised some eyebrows was the Active Recoil Channel (ARC). It was a slot cut into the sole of the club which was said to allow more flex at impact. This was designed to increase ball speed on thin shots and reduce spin for a lower flight.
Cantlay also carries a Titleist TS2 five wood with 21° of loft, although he has shown he likes carrying a hybrid with this loft as well. It's quite likely that this section of his bag can change from time to time. Both of his fairway woods are fitted with Mitsubishi Diamana ZF 70 TX shafts.
Irons
What Irons Does Patrick Cantlay Use?
At the top end of the bag, Cantlay carries a Titleist T200 three iron, which we believe comes in and out. His main weapons of choice are still the Titleist 718 AP2 irons (4-9), which are fitted with True Temper Dynamic Gold 120 Tour Issue X100 shafts. This is a model that we first tested back in 2017, and clearly Cantlay sees no reason to change what was one of the best golf irons on the market at the time.
Wedges
What Wedges Does Patrick Cantlay Use?
Having previously used different generations of Vokey wedges (he once had an SM5, SM6 and SM7 in the bag at the same time), Cantlay now has two SM7s in the bag - 47° (10F) and 52° (08F). He also has two Titleist Vokey SM9 wedges - 57° (08M) and 61° (T-grind). His wedges are fitted with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S300 shafts, and he has had them personalized with his initials.
Putter
What Putter Does Patrick Cantlay Use?
One club in the bag that Cantlay does appear more willing to experiment with is the putter. The Ryder Cupper used to be a Newport blade player, but in 2021 he switched to a mallet design. It would appear that he continues to putt with a Scotty Cameron T-5 Proto, which has a SuperStroke grip.
Ball
What Ball Does Patrick Cantlay Use?
Cantlay plays the Titleist Pro V1x golf ball, one of the best premium golf balls on the market 2024. The latest iteration of the Titleist Pro V1x delivers in all areas of the game. In testing, we noticed a jump in ball speed off the tee which, combined with a strong flight, offered superb distance.
Apparel/Shoes
What Shoes Does Patrick Cantlay Wear?
Cantlay wears FootJoy shoes, specifically the FootJoy DryJoys Tour BOA. Sometimes when you find a comfortable pair of shoes - and we're not just talking golf shoes here - then it just doesn't make sense to change. In terms of his choice of golf clothing, B.Draddy and Zero Restriction are two of his partners.
