Touted as nothing short of a legend on the course, Annika Sorenstam turned many heads during her career. What’s more, she managed to garner a total of 72 victories on the LPGA Tour owing to her exceptional skills on the greens. And now, the golfer recently came back to the game of golf through the U.S. Women’s Open in the past couple of years. However, she wasn’t able to do it alone.
Although her skills did help with her comeback, one cannot deny the role the Swede’s tools played during the same. And now, with the professional all set to play with her son at the upcoming PNC Championship, her fans would naturally become curious as to the set of equipment that has lent her its support in the athlete’s times of need!
The equipment that helps Annika Sorenstam on the course
The 53-year-old is all set to duke it out against the rest of the parents and children at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club. What’s more, she would be hoping to clinch the victory at the special tournament with her son, Will McGee, turning it into an even more special event. And Sorenstam would be aiming to do so with her exquisite set of tools in her bag.
The 10X major champ has been using the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond driver attached to the XLink Tech (Stiff) shaft. Moreover, the club is lofted at 10.5 degrees and is priced at $419.99. The equipment is able to provide a lower launch to the ball while maintaining less spin, all while boasting an explosive clubface. Not for your average golfer, it seems!
The 72X LPGA Tour champ turns to the Callaway Paradym 3HL Fairway Wood, lofted at 16.5 degrees for his 3-woods, while using the Callaway Rogue ST Max at 18 degrees for his 5-woods. However, both clubs use XLink Tech (Stiff) as their shaft. Meanwhile, the former is priced at $299.99 and boasts an enlarged sweet spot and an adjustable hosel, making it an easy club to launch the balls high, while the latter provides good stability for the athlete and costs $322.46.
The 3X U.S. Women’s Open champ uses the Callaway Paradym Hybrid for her 3 and 4 hybrids lofted at 18 and 21 degrees, respectively. However, for her other set of equipment, from the 5-iron to the pitching wedges, the athlete uses the Callaway Paradym. The former set helps Annika Sorenstam with an elevated launch with more shot-stopping power, costing $236.11 and $259.99 for the 3 and 4 hybrids, respectively. Meanwhile, the latter group provides an impressive distance while lessening the vibrations and costs $999.94 and above.
The wedges and putters in Sorenstam’s bag
The 17X LET winner’s choice of wedges falls on the Callaway JAWS MD5 for the 48, 54, and 58 degrees. Priced at $129.99 and above, the set of equipment provides a soft feel while enabling a high spin of the ball. What’s more, the stronger lofted clubs provide much better control and spin of the ball by launching the ball higher than the other tools.
The Solheim Cup legend turns to the Odyssey AI-One Putter #7 for her final choice of clubs. And this piece of equipment boasts a winged back mallet design along with a modern make that allows a consistent topspin of the ball while providing a stable speed to hole the golf balls.
In the upcoming PNC Championship that the athlete and her son will be playing at, the golf duo will look for an opportunity to clinch their first win. And, with the kind of clubs that the legend uses coupled with her skills, Annika Sorenstam would be hoping to manage an easy win.
