Joaquin Niemann What’s In The Bag – The Young Chilean Star

Joaquin Niemann What’s In The Bag?

Chilean youngster Joaquin Niemann has had a meteoric rise up the world golf rankings. He got his 1st PGA Tour victory in 2019 at A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier and he played in his 1st Presidents Cup in 2019 as well. After several near misses he then got his 2nd PGA Tour win at the Genesis Invitational, where he went wire-to-wire. But what clubs does the youngster use? We take a look below.

Driver

Ping G410 LST

All of Niemann’s clubs are made by Ping and after putting in the G425 LST driver (opens in new tab) briefly, Niemann has interestingly gone back to the G410 LST (opens in new tab) model. It is set at 10.5 degrees and is fitted with a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 6X shaft. At 450cc, the G410 LST driver features a more rounded, pear-shaped design than the G410 Plus and combines with more efficient Turbulator Technology for advanced aerodynamics, leading to increased clubhead speed. Its “Tour Square” face sits slightly open and the score-line pattern frames the impact area to aid in alignment. The creased crown design provides a clean and powerful look at address.

Fairways

Ping G425 Max

He then uses a Ping G425 Max three-wood (opens in new tab) and seven-wood with 14.5 and 20 degrees of loft. It is a model that made our Editor’s Choice list in 2021 because it is so easy to hit and is the most forgiving fairway wood in the G425 family. The G425 Max is made with a one-piece face, rather than the steel face insert used in the G410 models, and this has increased ball speeds across the face by up to 1.5mph – a significant amount in an evolutionary model from Ping. Ping has done away with the Turbulators that dominated the crown on the G410 fairway wood and have replaced them with a simple, clean three dot system. This is great for lining up the ball consistently in the centre of the face.
