Okay, so I’ve been following Nelly Korda for a while now, and with all the buzz around her gear, especially at the Grant Thornton Invitational, I thought I’d dig into what she’s using in 2024. Let me tell you, it’s been quite the journey piecing this together!
First off, I started by scouring every golf forum and news site I could find. It seemed like everyone was talking about her driver. Initially, I saw some chatter about her using the new TaylorMade Qi35, but then things got interesting. It looked like she might’ve switched back to something else. This kind of stuff really gets my detective gears turning.
I spent hours comparing photos from different tournaments, zooming in on her clubs, trying to identify the models. It’s like a puzzle, you know? I checked out videos of her swing, pausing and rewinding, just to get a better look. It felt like I was practically in the bag with her!
Digging into the Details
Then, I moved on to her irons and other clubs. Based on what I gathered, there’s a pattern with the distance she gets from each club. It looks like she’s got about a 15-yard gap between them. I mean, that’s some serious consistency! I tried to compile a list, it was not a easy work.
- Driver: I kept digging, and it seems she’s gone back to her old Taylormade. Her average carry is around 252 yards, but with roll, she’s hitting a whopping 267 yards on the LPGA Tour. That’s insane! I spent a good chunk of time confirming this through various sources, and yeah, it checks out.
- Irons to wedges: I didn’t find the specific details, about 15 yards between each club, it’s a gradual increase in distance throughout the set.
Some background of Nelly
While I was at it, I also looked up some fun facts about Nelly. Turns out, she comes from a family of athletes. Her parents were professional tennis players, and her dad even won the 1998 Australian Open! It’s cool to see how that kind of background might influence her game. And she has a younger brother, Sebastian, who’s also into sports.
So, after all this digging and compiling, I feel like I’ve got a pretty good handle on Nelly Korda’s bag for 2024. It’s always fascinating to see what the pros are using and how it evolves over time. This whole process was a real deep dive, and honestly, I loved every minute of it. It’s like being a sports journalist, but without the press pass! I really hope they change the clubs as less as they can.
