Bubba Watson has Ping G400, Blueprint irons in the bag at Hero World Challenge

Bubba Watson has new clubs in the bag this week for the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Watson had previously been gaming a Ping iBlade (2-iron) and Ping S55s (4-PW), however, for the end-of-year event, the American decided to test out the new Ping Blueprint irons.

As well as the iron change, Watson has also made the switch from his previous Ping G400 LST driver to the Ping G400. According to PGATour.com’s Andrew Tursky, the move was due to Watson desiring more spin off the tee to allow himself to curve the ball easier. You will also find the specifications of the new driver in the tweet below.

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

Those irons look sick. Would look even better in a mirror. Looks like forged hollow design is the future a d even Pros are playing them.

Just a scam to trick gearheads into a neurotic frazzle over a new toy they must have to prove their masculinity. “Golfers are gullible.” – Harvey Penick, Little Red Book, page 74…!

Good to see he still uses the +75 wraps of buildup tape. He looks like he’s holding the fat end of a baseball bat.

I love looking back at old threads and seeing Ping fanboys berate people for suggesting that Ping should make a true forged players iron.

Spin stabilizes a ball flight. Makes the spin axis more horizontal. Its why its almost impossible to curve a wedge. He’s going to have to work harder to curve this club all else being equal. For the same reasons you have to work harder to curve a 6 iron than you do a 4 iron.

I’m gonna go ahead and take the word of a 2-time major champion with a professional club making staff over a keyboard hero.

Very true, Matt…. and that’s why the D-plane ball flight analysis doesn’t fully work for high lofted clubs… only the driver.
