Rose Zhang What's In The Bag?
A young star in the world of golf, Rose Zhang survived a tense playoff against Jennifer Kupcho at the Mizuho Americas Open to become the first player to win an LPGA Tour event on professional debut since 1951. Undoubtedly many more wins will come for one of the brightest talents in the game, so let's have a look at the clubs and ball in her golf bag.
Driver
What Driver Does Rose Zhang Use?
Zhang is part of Team Callaway, and she currently has the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond driver in the bag in 9° loft and fitted with the Fujikura Ventus Red 5 S shaft. This club is an exceptional driver in the better player market and is one to consider should you be playing a low spin driver and are in need of an upgrade.
Although Zhang is not the longest of drivers, this club clearly helps her to hit more fairways, as at the start of the year she was up at number two for accuracy (nearly 90 percent).
Fairway Woods
What Fairway Wood Does Rose Zhang Use?
Zhang has two fairways in her bag – both Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max fairway woods. She gives herself two different options off the tee and hitting into par 5s with a 15° and an 18° model, both of which are fitted with the Fujikura Ventus Red 6 R shaft.
This is a club that will take some beating in 2024, one that comfortably makes it onto our list of the best fairway woods. It's a model that offers high levels of forgiveness while producing a high, powerful ball flight that will please any golfer.
Hybrid
What Hybrid Does Rose Zhang Use?
Zhang also carries a 24° hybrid. Ai Smoke is clearly a line that Zhang likes, as she continues the theme here, using a Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke hybrid, fitted with a KBS Tour Hybrid Prototype 75 R shaft.
Irons
What Irons Does Rose Zhang Use?
Zhang has six irons (5-PW) in her line-up, with her weapon of choice the Callaway X-Forged irons, which all feature the Nippon 850GH R shafts. Prior to that, the American played the Callaway Apex '21 irons.
Wedges
What Wedges Does Rose Zhang Use?
At the bottom end of the bag, Zhang carries two Callaway Jaws Raw wedges – 54° and 58°, both of which feature Nippon 850GH R shafts; it's a model that delivers incredible levels of spin and looks stunning from all angles.
Putter
What Putter Does Rose Zhang Use?
When Zhang gets the flat stick going, she can be unstoppable. Her current model is the Odyssey Ai One Double Wide putter. The Odyssey Ai range of putters is proving popular on Tour and we would rank them among the best putters of 2024 because of the combination of feel from the White Hot insert, premium looks and forgiveness from the A.I- designed face.
Ball
What Golf Ball Does Rose Zhang Use?
Zhang's ball of choice is the Callaway Chrome Tour X. A new premium ball for 2024, we found it to be spinnier, more workable and firmer feeling than its sibling, the Chrome Tour; it's a model that will suit players looking for maximum spin and those who love to shape the ball.
Apparel/Shoes
What Shoes Does Rose Zhang Wear?
Adidas was quick to sign Zhang when she turned professional. As well as wearing 3-Stripes clothing, she walks the fairways in Adidas shoes, too. At the start of the year it appeared as though she was wearing the Adidas Retrocross spikeless shoes, a very sporty and casual-looking golf shoe.
