Stewart Cink starts out with the G425 Max driver (opens in new tab) and it has 10.5 degrees of loft and a Graphite Design shaft.

It is with this driver, and some minor swing adjustments, that he has seen a big increase in distance as last season he went from 113th to 27th in driving distance.
One of these changes was to move his ball position so that he could use a lower-lofted driver than usual.

Cink then uses a Ping G425 Max three-wood(opens in new tab) along with a Ping G410 seven-wood.

They have 15.5 and 19.75 degrees of loft and interestingly have completely different shafts. The three-wood has a Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green shaft whilst the higher lofted model has a Accra FX 2.0 360 M5 shaft.
Usually, professionals have different weighted shafts in their fairway woods but seeing a completely different model is not so common.
Cink has an interesting iron setup at the moment. He carries a Ping i210(opens in new tab) three-iron, leaves a gap where the four-iron would be and then uses i210’s from five down to the U-Wedge – otherwise known as the gap wedge.
Admittedly this does seem to change as we have seen him compete at some events with the four-iron in the bag but we think we see him more without it. Very few players out on Tour have this gap with Billy Horschel(opens in new tab) another who does so.
