From his custom-made irons, to his Tour-only Titleist Pro V1x Plus golf ball, Reed is a big fan of, and extremely knowledgeable, when it comes to golf equipment, with his what’s in the bag making for interesting reading.<\/p>\n

Since mid-2024, Reed has had the Titleist GT3<\/a> in the bag, with the American previously using the Ping G400 LST and G440 LST<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Swapping out and using different shafts regularly during that time frame, Reed had been using the Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Red 70 TX shaft, but was most recently spotted at the 2026 Dubai Desert Classic with the Aldila Tour Rogue Silver 70 Tour X.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Golf Monthly back in 2024<\/a>, the Major winner stated: “Regarding all the clubs from the different companies, if you hit the ball dead center it’s going to be good. I feel like if I miss-hit this one it still has a little bit more speed in it and stays a bit straighter.”<\/p>\n

Set at 8.5\u00b0, Reed added “it sits really nicely and, if anything, a little flat. It’s 44.5″, as I’ve been a guy who goes a little bit shorter (with the driver). I feel better when the driver is shorter and I feel like I can swing it a little bit more freer. I like to work the golf ball and when I get longer shafts it feels like a one-dimensional golf shot for me.”<\/p>\n

TaylorMade are known for producing some of the best fairway woods<\/a> money can buy and, in terms of Reed, he has opted for the TaylorMade Qi35<\/a> in a 3-wood configuration and a 15\u00b0 head.<\/p>\n

Having used the Titleist GT3 and Callaway Elyte fairway woods previously, the Qi35 has remained in his set-up for the majority of 2025 and was in his bag for the start of 2026.<\/p>\n

Once again, the shaft has been changed regularly, with Reed previously using the Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black 85 TX. At the Dubai Desert Classic in January, though, he opted for the Fujikara Ventus Black TR 7 X.<\/p>\n

Utility Iron<\/p>\n

One of the older clubs in Reed’s bag is the Titleist 2016 716 T-MB utility iron, which is often changed in-and-out of his set-up depending on course conditions, with the American also using a Callaway Apex Pro hybrid<\/a> in a similar 18\u00b0 configuration.<\/p>\n

Using a True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft, Reed claims “this is the club I used at Augusta 2018 and it has been in the bag forever. I went away from it as I changed golf ball and it was coming in too flat.<\/p>\n

“I’ve now got a new ball that goes a little higher, so it means this is back in-play. It’s a go-to, so if I’m in trouble I will use it off the tee.”<\/p>\n

Irons<\/p>\n

Moving to the irons, where we find the Grindworks PR-202 in a 4-iron, as well as the Grindworks PR-101A in 5-iron to pitching wedge. All of his irons feature True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts.<\/p>\n

Making the switch to Grindworks at the end of 2019<\/a>, Reed explained to Golf Monthly: “I was on the range at Bay Hill and I couldn’t stop hitting the ball left. We checked the swing and specs and that was correct; however, when I said I hit the ball solid it was actually coming out of the heel, and when I thought I hit it out the toe it was actually dead-center.<\/p>\n

“A lot of forged irons are one-piece of metal and the center of gravity is in the heel and that is a problem. Justine (Reed’s wife) contacted Kiyonari Niimi… she sent him an email asking whether it’s possible to build my husband a set of clubs.<\/p>\n

“We started from a block of metal. It took us 18 months to design the cavity back, and about two years for the blades. We went around everything from the weight, the bounce, the sole, what kind of grooves etc. I used a mold of the Nikes, as I loved how flat they are, and the Callaway’s, which has more bounce on the edge.”<\/p>\n

Wedges<\/p>\n

Reed is known for his incredible short-game and, in the wedges, he opts for a mix of Cleveland and Titleist, who both make some of the best wedges<\/a> available on the market.<\/p>\n

Using a Cleveland RTX6 Tour Rack<\/a> in 52\u00b0, the Major winner then has a 56\u00b0 Titleist Vokey SM10<\/a> and a Cleveland RTZ 60\u00b0, with all of his wedges featuring True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts.<\/p>\n

Previously, Reed used Artisan Golf wedges during his 2018 Masters victory, but made the switch to his current set-up in 2023.<\/p>\n

Putter<\/p>\n

The final club in Reed’s bag is his putter and, following a lengthy period of time using his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3, it appears Reed has a Scotty Cameron Tour Rat I Proto in-play in Dubai.<\/p>\n

One common theme is that Reed remains in the blade-style<\/a> flatstick, which appear to be less common on the professional circuits, as mallet-designs become more-and-more popular.<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, regarding the Scotty Cameron Tour Rat I Proto, Reed created a custom-made Ryder Cup model of the putter in 2018, with the words Captain America stamped on the back of it, as well as the red, white and blue colorway of the US flag.<\/p>\n

Along with that blade-model, he also previously used a Scotty Cameron Timeless 2.5+ Tour Prototype.<\/p>\n

Golf Ball<\/p>\n

Golf ball-wise, Reed uses a Titleist Pro V1x Plus, a Tour-only model<\/a> that sits between the Pro V1x and the Pro V1x Left Dash.<\/p>\n

“It’s the spinniest ball they (Titleist) make and, for me, I like to hit a lot of partial shots,” stated Reed to Golf Monthly. “For me, I feel Titleist golf balls spin a lot quicker than the Callaway’s I used to use.<\/p>\n

“People focus on what the spin is doing right off the golf ball, but they don’t focus on how much the ball is losing spin when it’s downfield. I was able to really dial in with the guys at Titleist what ball was best for me.”<\/p>\n

A member of the 4Aces GC side on the LIV Golf League, the team recently announced a partnership with Under Armour<\/a>, who provide the 4Aces’ apparel and footwear.<\/p>\n

As part of their official team kits, the quartet of Reed, Dustin Johnson, Thomas Pieters and Thomas Detry will wear Under Armour\u2019s new Drive Pro Clone shoes and ArmourDry Polo, along with select pieces from the brand\u2019s golf lineup.<\/p>\n
