What golf clubs and ball does Cameron Smith use? Our in-depth look at what’s in the bag of the LIV golfer and 150th Open champion.
Jump To: Smith’s WITB
Just weeks ahead of the 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool, defending Champion Cameron Smith made a timely return to the winner’s circle with victory at the LIV Golf London event.
A final round 68 at the Centurion Club was enough to hold off Patrick Reed by a stroke to claim his second title on the Saudi-backed LIV circuit.
Smith won the PGA Player of the Year award in 2022, a year that also saw him make a highly controversial switch to the LIV Golf tour, for a reported $140m.
He made an impressive start there, too, finishing T-4 in his first LIV tournament and winning on his second start, taking home $4m for victory at the LIV Golf Invitational Chicago.
Smith started 2022 by winning the Sentry Tournament of Champions with a record PGA Tour total of 34 under par, winning by one stroke over Jon Rahm and surpassing Ernie Els’ mark of 31-under at the same tournament in 2003.
Just two months later, Smith became the fifth Australian to win the Player’s Championship at TPC Sawgrass, which was perhaps the strongest indication yet that Smith was ready to compete for a Major.
And true to form, Smith went on to win that first Major by overcoming a 54-hole four-shot deficit to win the 2022 Open Championship, outshooting home favorite Rory McIlroy on the Old Course at St Andrew’s.
Smith’s latest victory prior to his win at the Centurion Club came in his native Australia, winning the Australian PGA Championship for the third time in his career.
A highly technical player known for his metronomic touch with the putter, Smith’s golf bag is full of clubs that pay testament to his versatility and tact.
Smith is a Titleist staff player and is among those who have been using the TSR3 driver, securing its first Major win at The Open in July 2022.

Today’s Golfer’s ‘What’s In The Bag’ insight is brought to you in association with Fujikura.
What driver does Cameron Smith use?
Cameron Smith uses a Titleist TSR driver (10˚) with a Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6X shaft
Engineered for speed, distance, and playability with performance-tuned adjustability.
A refined and reimagined SureFit Adjustable CG Track System allows players to position the CG exactly where they need and want it, customizing their ideal and exact setup.
An advance in clubface technology, the TSR3’s Speed Ring VFT Face was created using a conical variable face thickness. This feature focuses the maximum CT/COR relationship into one central sweet spot.
Continuing upon the success of TSi3’s 460cc shape, TSR3 maintains the tour-preferred shaping while adding subtle refinements to improve aerodynamics.

What fairway wood does Cameron Smith use?
Cameron Smith uses a Ping G430 Max fairway wood (15°) with a Fujikura Ventus TR Red 7X shaft
Ping say their G430 Max model will fit more players than previous MAX offerings. You’ll want to be a golfer who doesn’t need much extra help to flight shots from the turf, you’ll likely spray shots across the face, but also be somebody who isn’t specifically flighting a persistent slice. For very moderate-speed players (that’s less than 85mph with a driver) there’s also a new High Launch setup that’s lighter and easier to launch.
A new wrapped carbon crown frees up 10g of weight which is redistributed to lower the center of gravity. A tighter roll radius low on the face maximizes ball speed and reduces spin, so golfers can expect 5+ more yards on low-face impacts.
Compared to the previous G425 fairway wood, the center of gravity has been lowered, so golfers swinging between 90 – 105mph (with a driver) can expect a fraction more ball speed and launch (0.3mph and 0.2°), a little lower spin (-200 RPM) and crucially a 14% tighter dispersion.

| Lofts | 3 – 15°, 5 – 18°, 7 – 21°, 9 - 24° |
| Stock shafts | Ping Alta CB Black, Ping Tour 2.0 Chrome, Ping Tour 2.0 Black |
What irons does Cameron Smith use?
Titleist T100s
Cameron Smith uses Titleist T100 irons with KBS Tour 130 X Custom Series shafts
Titleist’s T100 iron has been sharpened and modernized and, as with the other models in the T-Series, built around three key Ds – Distance, Dispersion, and Descent Angle.
Use of more dense D18 tungsten weights and the same 2000º brazing process used in aerospace construction has helped to eliminate weld points and create an even more precise CG placement for improved MOI.
The new face features a continuous cradle construction that creates a seamless striking surface and more uniform leading edge. The 4i-7i faces were redesigned to provide slightly more spin for improved shot-shaping and stopping power.
Jordan Spieth, Will Zalatoris, Sungjae Im, Cameron Smith, Garrick Higgo and Jessica Korda, have all been involved in the design process which has seen the T100 spend more than 1,000 hours in Titleist’s players’ hands.
In addition to his T100 irons, Smith also carries a Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi 3-iron and Titleist T200 4-iron.

What wedges does Cameron Smith use?
Cameron Smith uses Titleist Vokey Design SM9 wedges (<meta charset="utf-8">46<meta charset="utf-8">º-10F, 52<meta charset="utf-8">º-08F, 56<meta charset="utf-8">º-08M, 60<meta charset="utf-8">º-09T) with KBS Tour 130X shafts
Vokey’s years of research and experience have helped him determine that the optimum wedge strike position is between grooves two and five, which produces a lower, more consistent flight with higher spin. Shots struck above launch higher and fly shorter with less spin.
The SM9 further improves upon the groundbreaking Progressive Centre of Gravity (CG) design concept originally introduced with the Vokey Design SM8 in 2020.
The forward CG has been raised vertically by adding weight to the topline, where a tapered pad at the back of the toe helps align the CG properly without being visible from the playing position.

What putter does Cameron Smith use?
Cameron Smith uses a Scotty Cameron by Titleist 009 Prototype putter (3°) with a 35" shaft
Scotty Cameron has been at the forefront of putter innovation for years both in the amateur game and in the professional game with their prototype putters. This year is no different as they bring some of the technology that has performed so well on the world stage to your everyday amateur golfers, with the Super Select line of putters.
The Super Select Newport 2 is the line's flagship model with a crisp, mechanical shape milled from 303 stainless steel with a solid face, customizable tungsten sole weights, a tri-sole design, new I-beam plumbing neck, and dual-milled face technology.

What golf ball does Cameron Smith use?
Cameron Smith uses a Titleist Pro V1x golf ball
Both balls are extremely long off the tee and perform incredibly well approaching greens and in the short game. The Pro V1x is a firmer ball compared to the Pro V1 but still provides a lovely feel off every club in the bag. The Pro V1 and Pro V1x are much loved by many of the world's greatest golfers for their overall high-quality performance and feel, which warrants a premium price. To some, this is understandable because they are arguably the best golf balls.
For those golfers who require a lower compression golf ball that flies lower and spins less in the long game, the AVX is definitely worth trying as an alternative to the No.1 ball in golf.

What golf shoes does Cameron Smith wear?
Cameron Smith wears FootJoy golf shoes
The plate is partnered with an OrthoLite 'fitbed' that's designed to mold to your feet over time for a perfect fit. We're only a few rounds in with our pair, but the fit has definitely improved and it was impressive enough straight out of the box.
The HyperFlex is a comfortable trainer-style model but it still has the benefits of a year-round shoe. It has a 100% waterproof knit upper that is breathable, comfortable, and, vitally, has a stain-protected easy-to-clean upper.
The new padded heel gave us added comfort and support and the knitted bootie is integrated into a thermoplastic wrap that surrounded our feet and helped control lateral movement. It also kept our feet stable through the swing.
