Sam Stevens’s preference for long hitting

The American professional, after joining the PGA Tour, has been achieving exceptional distance. In 2025, he achieved a 304-yard average driving distance, for which he prefers to use the PING G425 LST Driver with 9 degrees of loft and Project X Hzrdus Smoke Green 70g 6.5 TX. The driver offers great MOI with forgiveness and stability to stay on the fairway. Coming at $349, it is a great option to achieve long distance and stay on the fairway.

Along with the driver, he carries PING G430 Max Fairway with a 15-degree loft and Project X Hzrdus RDX Blue 80g 6.5 shaft. The fairway wood was ranked among the top 10 for its accuracy and forgiveness. Not just this, but the club’s ability to achieve long distances is what makes it an ideal choice at $349.

Additionally, apart from the long-distance coverage, the golfer carries his PING Blueprint S Irons to precisely reach near the greens. Well, this has been the choice for many golfers, including Tony Finau, Joaquin Niemann, Matt Fitzpatrick, and many others. The blend of control, precision, and forgiveness is what makes the iron set a preference for professionals. Coming at $1300 per set, it becomes a great option to carry.
