John Pak, the American professional whose journey began by prioritizing golf over studies, is now turning heads with his performance. The golfer, after preferring homeschool for the last three years of high school, joined Florida State University. His persistence and hard work paid off in the sophomore year as he set the lowest scoring average at 69.6 for the FSU. Even with his performance as a professional, he recorded two victories before transitioning to the PGA Tour. Now, as the golfer leading the way from the front at the Charles Schwab Challenge, it is not only his skills and hard work, but also the great selection of the clubs that will get credit for his performance. So let’s take a look at what he carries in his bag.
John Pak’s TaylorMade picks for the long shots
With 65.61% driving accuracy, the golfer has been among the Tour leaders. To achieve that with ease, he prefers the TaylorMade Qi10 LS driver with 9 degrees of loft. Unlike most drivers, which focus on forgiveness, this is a compact and streamlined club that offers lower spin and forgiveness. However, what makes it a valid pick at $399 is the traditional feel with adjustability to make it ideal for a variety of swing types.
He also carries the same model fairway wood, the TaylorMade Qi10 Tour 3-Wood with 15 degrees is what takes care of his long hitting after the driver. Pak ignored forgiveness in the driver over accuracy, but with his fairway wood, he gets a great blend of forgiveness and distance. Coming in at $349, it becomes a great option for covering longer distances.
Additionally, he carries the UDI 2 and P.7 (4-9) irons in his bag. The UDI series is ideal for offering enhanced control without sacrificing distance, while the P.7 is praised for its accuracy and feel. The combination of irons coming at $249 each helps him stay in the green and maintain a low score. After reaching close to the green, he then picks the clubs for precision and short game.
Pak’s preference for the greens
The PGA Tour rookie is positioned 9th with 66.65% scrambling from the rough. He has been saving the majority of error shots with the combination of his skills and the MG4/Milled Grind 4 series wedge. He carries the 46, 50, 54, and 58-degree wedges in his bag. The wedges with exceptional accuracy and stability bring in impressive performance for the golfers. Additionally, the $149 wedges also have a USP of unbeaten performance in wet conditions.
At last, with TaylorMade TP5 Balls ($54), he has his TaylorMade putter, which is the TP Reserve B11 for $299. The clean, geometric-shaped putter with extra grooves on the impact zone offers superior feel and ideal ball roll. John Pak, with his unique game style, has picked the best of TaylorMade for his course appearance.
