What’s in My Bag Nick Taylor
DRIVER
FAIRWAY WOODS/HYBRID
IRONS
SPECS Titleist TSi3, 10°, Fujikura Atmos Blue Tour Spec 6X shaft, 45.5 inches It has been difficult to find a driver that spins consistently for me and has the launch that I like. Everything is lower spinning. That’s why I’ve been with the TSi3 since 2022. Last summer, the face cracked, and I had a hard time finding a replacement. Luckily, I found one, and I’ve been playing it ever since.
SPECS TaylorMade Qi10, 15°, Mitsubishi Tensei AV 75 TX shaft; TaylorMade SIM2 Max, 18°, Mitsubishi Tensei AV 85 TX shaft; Titleist TSR2, 21°, Graphite Design Tour AD DI 95 X shaft The 5-wood has been in my bag for five years. I launch it high, and it’s great out of the rough – I don’t have to worry about hitting it choppy out of a thick lie. I can chase it onto the green.
SPECS 4-iron: Titleist T150; 5- to 9-irons: Titleist T100, True Temper Dynamic Gold S400 shafts, Golf Pride Tour Velvet Align grips The 4-iron was a change during the week of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. I wanted an extra six to seven yards of carry, and the Titleist reps were able to shave it down, so the offset wasn’t there. Right away, it took off in the nice, high window I like.
HUSKY FOR LIFE UW was a very special time for me. They’ve sent me all kinds of stuff, including this yardage book. I’m a proud Washington grad. JURASSIC GOLF My son, Charlie, loves dinosaurs. If I’m fumbling for tees in my bag and find his stegosaurus figurine, it just puts a smile on my face.
WEDGES
PUTTER
SPECS 47°, 53°: Titleist Vokey SM10; 59°: Titleist Vokey Design WedgeWorks, True Temper Dynamic Gold S400 shafts I’ve predominantly been a lob- wedge chipper throughout my career, but I’ve grown to like the 53-degree because of the higher bounce, especially in Bermuda grass. I like having the versatility of two different bounce angles in the 53 and 59 because that allows me to use the same motion, making it easy to hit the ball solid.
SPECS TaylorMade Spider Tour Red, 3° loft, 35 inches, Super- Stroke Zenergy Pistol Tour grip I was on the cusp of losing my PGA Tour card in 2018. I had a week off before the Wyndham Championship and spent an hour in my local Golf Town trying all types of putters. I was sure I’d walk out with one, but I just wasn’t sold on any, so I stuck with the putter I’d used the weekend before. I finished top 10, kept my card and have been using this putter ever since.
KIDS’ LUCK I switched to the Pro V1x in January 2022. The “C” on my ball is for my son and the “H” is for my daughter, Harper.
