What we’re playing: Shop GOLF staffers’ favorite clubs in the bag right now

The summer season is in full swing, and like you, GOLF’s staffers have been taking advantage of the warm weather by hitting the course as much as possible.

For players looking to add a weapon or two to the bag this season, it can be hard to decide what to try, especially with so much worthy equipment in the market. That’s why I decided to poll my colleagues to find out which club is a standout in their bags at the moment. The responses were delightfully varied and literally spanned the entire bag, from drivers, fairway woods and hybrids all the way to irons, wedges and even a putter. It’s proof that satisfaction with your game can be found in every club.

Check out the GOLF staff’s current favorite clubs below, and the reasons they love each one so much. And if you feel inspired to try one of the clubs — or more! — out for yourself, you can click the link to add to cart now.

Titleist T150 Iron

I was fitted into the T150 4-iron in June. Having played a set of Mizuno butter knives for the better part of a decade, it is so nice to very consistently get the ball up in the AIR from 4-iron range. Standing over a 215-yard par-3 isn’t quite as hit-and-hope as it used to be. —Sean Zak

Titleist 2025 T150 Custom Irons

T150 Irons are crafted for added distance with unwavering accuracy. Forged into a player’s shape with progressive blade lengths, T150 offers a precise blend of speed, stability, and consistency—providing the confidence to hit and hold greens from anywhere.   Confidence-Inspiring Forged Design  Forged into a player’s shape with a slightly larger head size for pure feel with extra stability. Elevated Ball Speed 1° stronger lofts (vs. T100) combine with an improved muscle channel through 7-iron and lower long-iron CG to help improve speed, launch, and carry. Superior Flight and Stability  Split high-density tungsten produces optimal CG with remarkable stability for precise shotmaking. Consistent Speed & Spin   New VFT technology and progressive groove design provide consistent spin and speed across the face in variable conditions.

Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas Stroke Lab putter

I’m partial to my Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas Stroke Lab putter, mostly because it’s the only club I can get airborne. But I also dig the weighting and the soft feel and those handy spaceship flanges that make alignment a cinch. —Josh Sens

Toulon 2025 Las Vegas H7 Putter

The 2025 redesign of our popular Las Vegas model emphasizes softness in every detail. We refined the H7 hosel, rounded the top line, softened the wing edges, and added a curve to the flange. As a result, the new model is more visually appealing, and the internal and external design changes have greatly improved its sound and feel making it softer than ever. Las Vegas H7 is a multi-material mid-mallet putter designed with a tour-inspired flow hosel, enhancing toe hang. With 45 degrees of toe hang, the Las Vegas H7 is perfect for golfers with a moderate to strong stroke arc.  The new Las Vegas features a milled 6061 Aluminum sole plate that redistributes weight to the perimeter, enhancing forgiveness through increased MOI. Our front loaded milled round weights improve ball speed consistency across the face and combine with our new Deep Tuna Face Mill to create a soft, yet satisfying sound and feel. The 2025 Las Vegas features our brand-new Anthracite finish and hints of Heritage Blue and Italian Racing Red.

Titleist Vokey SM10 wedge

I was fitted into wedges half a decade ago and spent that time using them (poorly) without much thought to my gear setup. Then, during a short-game lesson in June, a teacher looked at the bounce on my 60-degree and asked me if I needed to get my head examined (I probably did, but it had nothing to do with the clubs). As it turned out, I was playing with far too much bounce, which was killing my versatility around the greens. Three fresh wedges later — with my 60-degree drafted down to the mid-bounce M-Grind — and my short game is playing like new again. I feel creative again with a wedge in my hands, and I never thought I’d feel that way. —James Colgan

Titleist Vokey SM10 Black Vapor Limited Edition Custom Wedge

The limited edition SM10 Black Vapor introduces a premium ultra-dark finish for the most played wedge on Tour. The Titanium Carbide Vapor coating produces a pitch-black sheen with smudge resistance and enhanced durability—keeping your wedges looking as pure as they play.

My Titleist GT1 9-wood (yes, 9-wood!) has become my most reliable club in the bag. With 24 degrees of loft, I can launch it to the moon and stop it on a dime — perfect for attacking long approach shots. —Zephyr Melton

Titleist GT2 Driver, Ping G430 hybrid

I haven’t hit a driver with this much versatility up and down the face in a long time. Runner-up is for sure my Ping G430 hybrid, which is like 9 clubs in one. I can hit it 230 if I gas it and 200 if I chip it. —Johnny Wunder

Titleist GT2 Custom Driver

GT2 — Speed & Forgiveness Across The Face For players who don’t always find the center of the face and need the stability of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed. Speed & Forgiveness Across The Face Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, GT2 extracts maximum performance through forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed. Seamless Thermoform Crown A reimagined ultra-lightweight design, born from a new Proprietary Matrix Polymer. The tunable acoustic properties of this unique composite allow Titleist engineers to realize new material gains while maintaining our signature sound and feel. All wrapped in a clean look that inspires total confidence. Split Mass Construction GT2 delivers a powerful balance of forgiveness and speed thanks to a breakthrough in internal weighting. Mass is shifted to the back of the clubhead to increase MOI for better stability, while also pushing weight low and forward to optimize speed and spin. The result is a driver that frees you to swing with confidence.

PING G430 Custom Hybrid

The PING G430 Hybrid is loaded with innovations like Carbonfly Wrap, PING’s newest technology and the key to more distance and green-holding stopping power. Alongside proven technologies Facewrap Technology and Spinsistency, they deliver the speed and performance golfers need to take on any approach shot. With six loft options (2H/17°, 3H/19°, 4H/22°, 5H/26°, 6H/30°, 7/34°) they are ideal mid- and long-iron replacements to help fill distance gaps in a player’s game. CARBONFLY WRAP The lightweight composite crown wraps into the heel and toe sections of the skirt, creating weight savings of 10 grams which are reallocated to achieve the lower the CG and increase ball speed. The composite also plays a role in the pleasing sound. FACE WRAP TECHNOLOGY FaceWrap Technology, a variable-thickness, high-strength maraging steel face wraps into the sole and crown of the stainless steel head, generating more flexing for faster ball speed and higher launch for greater distance. SPINSISTENCY The variable roll radius of Spinsistency improves performance across the face (especially on thin shots) by reducing spin to increase ball speed from the maraging steel face. TUNGSTEN BACK WEIGHT A tungsten back weight extends the perimeter weighting to ensure maximum forgiveness. TRAJECTORY TUNING The lightweight, 8-position hosel enables adjustments for loft (±1.5°) and lie (3° flatter than std.) to further dial in ball flight for the best results.

Titleist T200 iron

I know the trend is towards, 5-, 7-, 9-woods but it’s summertime and I like the way this fella can fly a whole bunch of different heights and the way he runs when hit low. —Dylan Dethier

Titleist 2023 T200 Custom Irons

The Tour-proven player’s distance iron, with the ideal shape, performance, and dramatically enhanced feel.With the new T200, distance has never felt so good. Built with a forged face, hollow-body construction and shaped by Tour technologies, it delivers incredible launch and forgiveness in a pure player’s design.T200 represents a dramatic leap forward in feel. The entire internal construction of this forged-face iron has been reengineered – with a more stable chassis, refined Max Impact Technology and a new dual taper face – to deliver maximum speed with Tour-level feel. ENHANCED FEEL Every component of T200 contributes to its solid feel. The reengineered chassis creates a stiffer structure, while allowing the refined Max Impact Technology to fit tighter against the new dual taper forged face. This leads to better feel and performance across the entire surface. CLEAN AND CONFIDENT SHAPE For all that has changed, the Tour-inspired shape of T200 remains consistent. Players will still draw confidence from a distance iron that looks clean and has less offset, with an optimal blade length and topline thickness based on player feedback. EFFORTLESS TURF INTERACTION Working with Tour Pros as well as the grind experts at Vokey Design, our engineers were able to further improve our Variable Bounce Sole by softening the trail edge to allow the club to flow faster through the turf, even after contact. Developed for T100, it brings a Tour touch to T200. BETTER TUNGSTEN FOR BETTER SCORING By utilizing dense D18 tungsten and a 2000º aerospace brazing process, Titleist engineers can eliminate weld points and shift CG more precisely to optimize every club in the set – from fast, high launching long irons to accurate, forgiving short irons.

TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini Driver

I was so anti-mini driver for a while, but I love having a club I can swing like a driver and hit 3-wood distances. It spins more than my 3-wood which makes it so much easier to control. —Jack Hirsh
