The eight-time PGA Tour winner used to have the Ping G400 Tour 65 driver in the bag and was seen using the Callaway Epic Flash and TaylorMade M5 drivers in the past too. The driver he had been using for a long time was the Srixon ZX7 because it provided him with with a penetrating, lower spinning trajectory. However this has changed as he now uses the Srixon ZX5 driver.
Fairways

Moving onto the fairways, the Japanese player has a SIM2 (opens in new tab) three-wood as well as what appears to be a Cobra Radspeed Tour fairway wood as well. We believe the former has around 15 degrees of loft and the latter around the 17.5 degree mark. The SIM2 is a club that many have put into play out on Tour because of the high-level of performance on offer. When we got our hands on one, it quickly got five stars (opens in new tab) and made our best fairway woods (opens in new tab) list because of the combination of distance, launch and looks.

As far as utility goes, Hideki does occasionally carry one and he has been spotted with a TaylorMade SIM UDI or Wilson Staff Model Utility on more than one occasion. However these clubs comes in and out of the setup. The rest of his irons are a set of Srixon Z-Forged blades. These go from four-iron down to nine-iron as he often likes to have a specialist wedge in the pitching wedge slot. With a body constructed from a single billet of 1020 carbon steel, Srixon’s Z-Forged irons offer an incredibly soft feel and superb feedback on striking.
