8 clubs from 1 brands: that is Joaquin Niemann's setup in the May 2025 snapshot. The headline pieces are a PING G430 LST driver and a PING PLD Anser Prototype putter, finished with a Titleist Pro V1x. [1]
Heads-up: this snapshot is 18 months old. We could not find a complete, dated bag for Joaquin Niemann from the last 12 months, so read it as the last verified setup, not a confirmed 2026 bag.

Should you copy Niemann's bag? Our verdict
- Driver loft: closer to normal than you'd think. Niemann's 10.5° is in the range many amateurs are fitted into, which is a reminder that tour players don't all use low lofts.
- Shaft: skip it. The Graphite Design Tour AD DI 6 X is an X-stiff or stiffer profile. Unless your swing speed is at tour level, a shaft this firm usually costs height and carry.
- Irons: copy the idea, not the model. The PING Blueprint S is a players' iron with little forgiveness. The useful lesson is the set make-up: he keeps one model through the set. Most golfers do better with a cavity-back long iron or hybrid at the top of the set.
- Wedges: copy the gapping. The wedge lofts (52-12S, 56-12S, 60-08B) are spaced to cover distances. Check your own gaps from pitching wedge down before buying new wedges.
- Ball: the easiest thing to copy. The Titleist Pro V1x is a retail ball you can buy off the shelf. It suits players who spin the ball enough to need greenside control; slower swingers may not see the benefit.

Bag history: what changed and what stayed
Across the snapshots we could date (April 2021 to May 2025), the pattern is 2 different driver listings across 5 snapshots, all PING, one ball the whole way (Titleist Pro V1x) and the same putter in every snapshot. [1] The ball is the steadiest part of the bag and the driver is where Niemann experiments most.
