WHAT'S IN MY BAG : ANGEL YIN

DRIVER

SPECS Ping G430 LST, 7°, Fujikura Ventus Blue 6X shaft, 45.25 inches.

I’ve played a driver with really low loft ever since I was a kid. I like my driver to look like a knife. If I play a higher loft, the ball shoots up into the sky like a rocket. I hit up on it a fair amount, so I have to stick with a low-lofted driver.

FAIRWAY WOOD/HYBRID

SPECS Callaway Mavrik, 13.5°, Fujikura Speeder 757TR 7X shaft; Callaway Apex 18, 16.5°, Fujikura Ventus Blue 8X.

Last year, my caddie convinced me to take the 2-iron out and put the hybrid in. I’d never liked the look of hybrids, and they always spun too much. But this Apex has a really nice compact head, and

I don’t get crazy spin numbers with it.

IRONS

SPECS Callaway X-Forged UT 21 (4-iron); Callaway Apex TCB (5-PW); all KBS C-Taper S+ shafts.

I grew up playing Japanese blades, Fourteen and Miura. Those really small, super-clean heads have made it impossible for me to look at anything with a thick topline. The shape of these Apex irons fits my eye.

WEDGES

SPECS Epon Tour (50°, 56°);

PXG 0311 S.D. proto (60°); True Temper Dynamic Gold S200.

I go through wedges so fast. In my garage I have a wedge that’s completely smooth from being hit so much. I carry two wedges when I practice: the practice wedge and the gamer. If I played only one wedge, it would last six weeks.

PUTTER

SPECS Angel Yin prototype; 32 inches, 3.25°.

I played a Bloodline putter and liked it but knew I could improve it for my game. My clubfitter connected me with a putter maker. I sketched out the design, and this is what we made. The smaller mallet head shape was key for me.
