Like all other top-100 professional golfers in the world who are on a manufacturer’s staff (some players are on more than one), every month Austin Eckroat cashes a check from the company that supplies him with his gear.
His monthly checks have the word PING on them.
Like every club in his bag. All 14 finely-tuned weapons.
We NEVER see a player whose entire bag features a single club manufacturer. Never. Good for you PING.
Key takeaways:
- Aaron hasn’t put into play PING’s newest big stick, the G430 MAX 10K, opting instead for last year’s model, the G430 LST which is beloved by staffers and free agents
- He was playing with a pretty standard set-up: driver, 3-wood (standard loft), 3-iron (vs. 5-wood or utility/hybrid), 4-PW, and three standard lofted wedges (50, 54, and 60)
- Like his driver, he hasn’t put into play PING’s newest wedge models. He has however put into play PING’s newest better player irons, Blueprint T
- He plays with ProV1 balls
