What equipment is Corey Conners carrying at The Players Championship 2024? WITB explored

Corey Conners, a Canadian professional golfer, is playing at The Players Championship 2024 after finishing 18th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.

Despite missing the cut in 2023, his recent performances indicate he's ready to make a comeback, and is all set for the third round at The Players Championship 2024 with his Ping heat.

Here is a list of Corey Conners' equipment in The Players Championship 2024:

  • Ping G430 LST: Equipped with an array of Ping clubs for The Players Championship 2024, Corey Conners will be relying on the Ping G430 LST Driver. This driver is ideal for golfers with swing speeds of 105 mph or higher and aids in spin control. It is designed with a shallower and variable-thickness face, creating more deflection. This helps generate faster ball speed for bigger distances.
  • Ping G430 Max wood: Conners uses a Ping G430 Max 5 wood and 3 wood. The first has a loft of 18° loft while the latter has a loft of 15° (adjusted to 14°). This fairway wood lets Conners make long shots from both the fairway and tee. The Carbonfly Wrap design of the club helps in reducing weight and lowering the center of gravity, resulting in ball speed and decreased spin.
  • Ping Blueprint irons: Corey Conners uses a Blueprint S iron 4-5. It has a small and narrow sole, made from 8620 carbon steel heads. The precision-milled grooves help with proper spin and precision. He also uses Blueprint T irons 6-PW, which is also made from 8629 carbon steel and has better trajectory control. It comes with a patented non-slip grip, called the Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip which is responsive while also providing comfort. The high-density toe screw and shaft tip weight provides precise swing weight control for better handling.
  • Ping S 159 Wedge: Conners also has a Ping S 159 wedge which is made from 8620 carbon steel. The grooves are precisely milled for control and spin on various lofts. It provides greenside versatility due to heel/trail edge relief and is designed with a bounce in the mid-section to play full shots.
