A full breakdown of Ben Griffin's equipment was recently shared by witb dot com in an Instagram story on June 1. Griffin has been one of the most talked-about names on the PGA Tour this month, thanks to his victory at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Witb dot com reshared a reel originally posted by them on their Instagram account. They captioned the post as:
"Griffin enters the week ranked 22nd in strokes gained: approach, and he’s top 10 in proximity from 125-175 yards—a key range at Muirfield. If he keeps stripping his Mizuno S3s, he could have 12–14 birdie looks per round. That’s the good news. The bad news? The greens are faster than your ex moving on, and Griffin has been known to hit a few putts that make you question the very laws of physics. If his Scotty stays dialed, he’s dangerous. If it doesn’t, buckle up for a lot of 3-foot lip-outs and memes."
"Course conditions will be firm, fast, and mean—just how Griffin likes it. He’s a low-spin, high-flight guy who doesn’t mind shaping shots around trees or bouncing 3-irons off cart paths if necessary. Muirfield also favors creative shotmakers, and Griffin is basically the Bob Ross of the PGA Tour. He paints with wedges, dances with spin, and only occasionally shanks it into a hot dog stand. He thrives in chaos, and the back nine on Sunday at Memorial is pure, unfiltered, caffeinated chaos."
Ben Griffin is currently gaming a Ping G430 Max 10k driver set to 9 degrees. It's paired with a UST Mamiya Lin-Q proto V 60F5 shaft, built for maximum stability and launch. He's also carrying a TaylorMade Qi10 3-wood (15°) with the same shaft model.
