I LOVE digging into the bags of our LPGA staff players; it not only speaks to the gearhead I have living inside, but it’s also quite informative as a player. Most of us should model our bags after these players than those on the PGA Tour. Why? Well, for one, the speed numbers are closer to us, and second, the level of accuracy and spin control LPGA players roll with is nothing short of ELITE. The whole bag is built around plotting AROUND the golf course, not OVER it.

LPGA players aren’t chasing distance as much as the rest of the population. Sure, they all want to get faster and longer, but spin control, precision, and the short game tend to hold more weight as it relates to success. In simple terms, long hitters don’t dominate the LPGA Tour as they appear to on the men’s side.

Defending U.S Woman’s Open Champion Yuka Saso piques my interest even more. She would be considered one of the longer hitters on the LPGA, and her launch conditions sit just shy of where I live (you will see her numbers below). Yuka would be considered one of the BIG hitters on the LPGA with 150+ ball speed (the equivalent on PGA is 180+), but as you will see, spin and control are pretty heavy-handed when it comes to picking the gamers.
