Alright, so I got curious about what Padraig Harrington’s got in his bag these days. You know Paddy, always messing around with his gear, proper tinkerer. It’s never straightforward trying to pin down his exact setup.
First thing I did was just hop online. Started searching around, you know, the usual stuff like “Padraig Harrington WITB” or “Harrington clubs”. Lots of articles pop up, sure, but half of them are from months ago, maybe even a year. With him, that’s ancient history.
Needed to get more current info. So, I started digging into recent tournament coverage. Watched some highlights from his last few events on the Champions Tour, even some DP World Tour stuff when he plays there. You try and pause the video just right when they show a close-up of the bag or him pulling a club. It’s harder than it looks, blurry pictures and quick shots mostly.
Then I remembered seeing some photos folks post on golf forums. Went over to a couple of those sites I lurk on. Scrolled through threads about tour pros’ equipment. Sometimes you get lucky and someone snapped a clear picture at a tournament or practice round. Found a few snaps, started piecing things together.
Okay, here’s what I managed to figure out, roughly:
Finding the exact specs is tough, he fiddles so much, but this seems to be the core stuff he’s been leaning on lately.
- Driver: Still seems to be rocking a Titleist. Looked like a TSi3 sometimes, maybe switched it up recently? Hard to tell for sure, he changes shafts constantly too.
- Fairway Woods: This is where it gets really tricky. Seen him with an old TaylorMade V-Steel sometimes, seriously! Then other times a newer Titleist or maybe even a Wilson Dynapower wood. He carries different lofts depending on the course.
- Hybrids: Often has a couple of hybrids in the bag. Wilson Staff stuff seems common here, maybe a Titleist too. He’s not afraid to mix brands.
- Irons: This seemed a bit more consistent. Mostly Wilson Staff Blades, the classic look. Maybe a utility iron blended in at the top end sometimes? Saw him testing different things on the range in one clip.
- Wedges: Usually Titleist Vokeys, like a lot of pros. But knowing Paddy, he’s probably ground the soles himself or done something custom. He used to have some Wilson wedges too.
- Putter: He’s used a bunch over the years. Odyssey stuff, that two-ball thing, sometimes an older model. Saw him recently with what looked like an Odyssey mallet, maybe a Stroke Lab shaft? And that grip! He’s known for that thick SuperStroke grip or variations of it.
- Ball: Titleist Pro V1x seems to be the go-to. That’s pretty standard.
So yeah, that’s the gist of my little investigation. Took a bit of clicking around, watching clips, squinting at photos. It’s never simple with Harrington because you know next week he might have swapped out half the bag again. That’s just how he operates, always searching for that little edge. Makes keeping track a fun little challenge, doesn’t it?
