Ever watch Max Homa stripe an iron with that smooth, a powerful swing and wonder what exact gear he’s using? You're not alone. We’re going to break down every single club in Max Homa’s bag, from his reliable driver right down to his money-making putter. This isn't just a list, it's a look into the why behind his choices, packed with practical advice to help you think smarter about your own equipment.
Max Homa’s setup is a fantastic example of a modern tour player who blends forgiveness with precision. He doesn't just play one type of club, he strategically combines different models to optimize every part of his game. As a Titleist staff player, his bag is full of their latest offerings, carefully selected to fit his eye and his swing.
At the top of the bag, Homa wields the Titleist TSR3 driver, usually set at a 10-degree loft. It's fitted with a high-performance Fujikura Ventus TR Black 6 X shaft.
The TSR3 is known as the "player's" model in the Titleist TSR lineup. Its defining feature is the SureFit CG track on the sole, which allows a player to place a small weight in one of five positions ranging from heel to toe. Think of it as a precision control knob for your drives.
For a world-class ball-striker like Homa, this level of adjustability is invaluable. He can fine-tune his driver to promote a specific shot shape (a gentle fade, for instance) or to fight against a specific miss. If he feels his bad shot is a hook, his team can shift the weight slightly toward the toe to help the face stay open just a fraction longer.
What You Can Learn: You don't need Homa's swing speed to benefit from adjustability. If you consistently fight a slice, moving the weight to the heel-side of your adjustable driver is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help square the clubface at impact. Don't be afraid to experiment with your driver's settings, it’s there to help you hit more fairways.
Homa's fairway wood setup showcases a perfect blend of power and utility. He typically carries:
The shafts here are also interesting: his 3-wood has a heavier Fujikura Ventus TR Black 8 X, while his 7-wood has an even heavier Fujikura Ventus TR Black 10 X. The heavier shafts help ensure these powerful clubs feel stable and controllable throughout his swing.
This is a brilliant setup that many amateur golfers should consider copying. He’s not just carrying two fairway woods, he's carrying two clubs with very different jobs.
The TSR2+ 3-wood has a slightly larger footprint and a deeper face than a standard fairway wood. It’s designed to be an absolute cannon - a "driver-off-the-deck" that he can launch high and long from the fairway to attack par 5s in two. It’s a distance weapon.
The TSR2 7-wood, on the other hand, is a precision instrument. The 21 degrees of loft produce a high, towering ball flight that lands steeply and softly. This is his go-to club for long approach shots into firm greens from 230-245 yards out. Trying to land a 3 or 4-iron softly from that distance is incredibly difficult, even for a pro. The 7-wood makes it a much higher-percentage shot.
What You Can Learn: The 7-wood is one of the great "secret weapons" for amateurs. If you struggle with consistency with your 3- or 4-iron, replacing one with a higher-lofted fairway wood can be a game-changer. It’s easier to launch, more forgiving, and provides that lovely soft landing you need to hold more greens on long approach shots.
Here’s where you can really see the mind of a professional golfer at work. Homa doesn’t use a stock set of irons. He plays a carefully composed combo set, shafted with beefy KBS Tour C-Taper 130 X shafts.
Playing a full set of blades looks cool, but it's not always the smartest strategy, even for the pros. Homa’s setup is a masterclass in getting help exactly where you need it.
At the top of his iron set, the T100S and T100 provide a bit more ball speed and higher launch. The "S" in T100S stands for "Strong," meaning it has a slightly stronger loft for a little extra distance and a lower trajectory. These long irons have some tungsten weighting low in the head, making them more stable and more forgiving on slight mis-hits - which is necessary when you're hitting it from over 220 yards out.
As he moves into the mid-irons with the 620 CB, he’s shifting toward more feel and control, but the small cavity back still provides a bit of perimeter weighting for stability.
Finally, his scoring clubs (6-9) are pure 620 MB blades. These irons are all about giving the player maximum feedback and the ability to shape the ball on command. When he needs to hit a low-spinning fade or a high-drawing seven iron to a tucked pin, these blades allow him to do it with surgical precision.
What You Can Learn: Blending your iron set is one of the smartest things you can do for your game. You get the forgiveness of cavity-back or Calloway hollow-bodied" href="/c.c">hollow-bodied">hollow-bodied" href="/c.c">hollow-bodied" href="/c.c"> hollow-bodied irons in your long irons (which are the hardest to hit) and the feel and control of a more compact players' iron in your scoring clubs. Most manufacturers offer this, so talk to a fitter about creating your perfect combo set.
Like most Titleist staffers, Max relies on the legendary Bob Vokey for his short game tools. He carries four Vokey SM10 wedges, but the key is in the lofts and, just as important, the grinds.
Wedge selection is about more than just a loft number. The grind - the shape and contour of the sole - is what determines how the club interacts with the turf and the sand. Homa’s setup is very strategic.
His F Grind wedges are his "full shot" clubs. The F grind has a relatively full sole, which provides stability and helps prevent digging on square-faced approaches from the fairway. It’s a workhorse grind.
His lob wedge features a very low-bounce T or L Grind. These grinds have significant relief in the heel and toe, allowing a player to open theface wide open for high, soft flop shots without the leading edge rising too high off the ground. It’s perfect for the firm, fast conditions of the PGA Tour and gives Homa the creativity he needs to hit delicate shots around the green. The low bounce, however, makes it less forgiving for players with steep swings or on soft courses.
What You Can Learn: Get fitted for your wedges! The right grinds for you depend entirely on two things: your swing type (are you a "digger" who takes big divots, or a "sweeper" with a shallow attack angle?) and the typical course conditions you play (soft parkland or firm, fast ground?). Using the wrong grind can make chipping significantly harder.
On the greens, Homa rolls a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5 prototype putter. This model perfectly marries mallet forgiveness with blade-like feel.
The Phantom X 5.5 has a "wingback" mallet shape, which pushes weight to the perimeter of the head. This increases the Moment of Inertia (MOI), making the putter much more stable and forgiving on off-center hits. If you mishit your putt slightly toward the heel or toe, a high-MOI mallet won't twist as much, helping the ball stay on line and travel closer to the intended distance.
But the real key is the neck. Unlike many mallets that are "face-balanced," the 5.5 model has a short "slant neck" that creates some toe-hang. This feel is preferred by players like Homa who have a slight arc in their putting stroke. It allows the face to naturally open on the backstroke and close through impact, just like a traditional blade putter.
What You Can Learn: Finding the right putter is about matching its design to your putting stroke. If you have a straight-back, straight-through motion, a face-balanced mallet is a great choice. If you have a slight arc, look for a new putter with some toe-hang like Homa’s mallet or a classic Anser-style blade.
Max Homa’s golf bag is a masterclass in modern equipment strategy, brilliantly blending cutting-edge technology like his TSR woods with the timeless feel of his 620 MB blades. It's a purposefully built setup for precision, versatility, and covering every possible shot he might face in a tournament.
Building a bag that inspires confidence is step one, but knowing which club to pull in a tough moment is where you can truly simplify the game. When you’re stuck choosing between clubs or facing a poor lie in the rough, it can be helpful to get a second opinion. When I analyze a situation, say from a photo of your ball in a difficult lie, I can give a clear recommendation for the smartest play. Services like Caddie AI exist to help take the guesswork out of these moments so you can make your decision and commit to the swing, just like a pro.
