My Deep Dive into Zach Johnson’s Golf Bag
Alright, so the other day I got this itch, you know? I follow golf pretty closely, especially the gear side of things. And I started wondering about Zach Johnson. He’s been around, super consistent, grinder type. What’s he actually swinging these days? It’s easy to assume guys just play the newest stuff, but I wanted to really see what was in his bag, right now.
So, first thing I did was hop on my computer. Started simple, just searching around for “Zach Johnson what’s in the bag” or “Zach Johnson equipment”. You get a mix of stuff, some articles, some forum posts. The trick is finding something recent and reliable. Sometimes you see lists from six months ago, a year ago, and you know things change.
I spent a good bit of time clicking through different sites. Some are official tour partners, they often have good galleries from recent tournaments. I looked through photos, trying to zoom in on the club heads, the shafts, even the grips. You try to piece it together. Found a couple of articles from the bigger golf media places that seemed pretty current. Compared what they listed.
Okay, so after sifting through all that, I started making my own list. Here’s basically what I pieced together for Zach’s setup:
- Driver: Seemed like he was using a Titleist model, probably one of their recent ones. Had to look close at pictures to guess the model.
- Fairway Woods: Again, looked like Titleist woods. Often pros carry a 3-wood, sometimes a 5-wood depending on the course. I noted down the models I could identify.
- Irons: This was interesting. He’s known for his iron play. Looked like he had a split set. Maybe some cavity backs in the longer irons and blades or muscle backs in the shorter irons? Definitely Titleist irons, seemed like his go-to brand for a long time. I jotted down the specific models I saw mentioned consistently.
- Wedges: Man, his wedge game is key. He carries multiple wedges, usually Titleist Vokey designs. Finding the exact lofts took some cross-referencing between articles and photo checks. I listed out the likely loft combinations he uses.
- Putter: He’s used a few different putters over the years, but seems pretty loyal to SeeMore putters. I confirmed the model he seems to be using most recently.
- Ball: Pretty standard for a Titleist guy, plays the Pro V1 or Pro V1x. Found confirmation he’s sticking with that.
I also tried looking for details like shafts and grips. Sometimes that info is harder to find reliably unless a site specifically lists it from a tour van source. Found some mentions of his preferred shaft brands, mainly for the driver and irons, and noted those down too. Grips often look like standard Golf Pride Tour Velvet, pretty common out there.
Putting it all together, it wasn’t super surprising, really. Zach seems like a guy who knows what works for him and sticks with it, mostly within the Titleist family. No crazy experimental stuff in there. It fits his image: precise, reliable, not overly flashy. It was kind of cool just confirming it all piece by piece.
So yeah, that was my little project. Just digging into the details, confirming the gear, and making my own little record. It’s satisfying to get a clear picture. Maybe I’ll look into someone else’s bag next week, keeps things interesting.
