We take a look at the Ping clubs the Englishman has in play this season

The Englishman has one DP World Tour victory to his name, back in 2023 at the SDC Championship in South Africa. Matthew Baldwin claimed the victory by seven shots over Ari Arnaus.

In addition to his one win on the European Tour, he has also won on the Challenge Tour and Sunshine Tour. The 38-year-old is from the same town as fellow English golfer Tommy Fleetwood, Stockport.

Baldwin is a Ping staff player and carries a full bag of Ping equipment. So let’s take a look inside his golf bag…

A look inside Matthew Baldwin’s bag

Matthew uses Ping’s G430 LST driver, a popular choice on the professional tours in both the men’s and women’s game. Fellow Ping staffers such as Leona Maguire and Victor Perez have both opted for the same driver.

He sticks with Ping’s G430 range for his other metal wood he has in play, a three-wood which ishis only fairway wood in his bag.

Baldwin instead prefers a driving iron, a Ping iCrossover. The rest of the Englishman’s iron set up is built up of Ping i230 irons, which he has from a 3-iron to a pitching wedge.

The European Tour winner opts for an extensive wedge range in his bag, carrying, at times, four Ping s159 wedges. He has a 46°, 50°, 54° and 60° wedge in rotation.

His putter of choice is a custom Ping PLD Custom Mundy putter, which he pairs with the only non-Ping element of his golf bag, a Titleist Pro V1x golf ball.

About the author

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
