Golf equipment junkies will be able to spot a few unique pieces of gear and some slightly different setups at Finca Cortesin this week, as the 2023 Solheim Cup gets underway.
We’ve already seen TaylorMade release Special Edition Stealth 2 Teams drivers ahead of the contest, but also keep you eye out for the following…

Swedish star Maja Stark, winner of the 2022 ISPS Handa World Invitational, plays Ping equipment.
When it comes to her 3-wood, she plays with a 15° Prototype at 15.4°, dot. The six-time LET winner uses the club to bridge the gap between her 9° driver and 19° hybrid.

The AIG Women’s Open champion has a 9° TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver, then 15° and 17° Callaway Apex Utility woods. It’s an unusual set-up, perhaps, but no one can say it’s not effective.
