So, the other day I was watching some golf on TV, and J.T. Poston was just striping it. Made me kinda curious, you know? Like, what’s this guy actually playing with? That typical “What’s In The Bag” or WITB question popped into my head.
Starting the Search
Naturally, I hopped online. Figured it would be easy, just search “J.T. Poston WITB” and boom, list served up. Well, not quite that simple. Found a few different articles and forum posts, but the details were kinda all over the place. One site listed one set of irons, another had a slightly different model year. Took me a bit just trying to cross-reference stuff.
Digging into the Details
I spent probably a good hour clicking around. What I gathered was a lot of Titleist gear, which makes sense, lots of pros use their stuff. Driver, woods, irons… mostly Titleist. The interesting part for me is always the specifics, like the shafts or any custom grinds, but that info is tougher to nail down reliably unless you get it straight from the tour van or something.
- Looked up his driver first. Seemed pretty standard Titleist setup.
- Then checked the irons. Again, Titleist blades mostly, I think. The exact model seemed to vary depending on how old the article was.
- His putter caught my eye – looked like one of those Scotty Cameron mallets. Always fancied trying one but never pulled the trigger.
Honestly, after a while, my eyes started to glaze over looking at shaft specs and grip types. It’s fascinating for about ten minutes, then you realize it’s probably way beyond what matters for your own game.
My Own Thoughts
This whole rabbit hole got me thinking. We spend so much time looking at what the pros use. Does knowing J.T. Poston uses a certain Titleist driver really help me hit my own driver any straighter? Probably not. It reminds me of when I first started playing more seriously. I bought this expensive driver, convinced it was the magic bullet for my slice. Guess what? Still sliced it. Took lessons and practice to even start fixing that.
It’s fun to know what they play, gives you something to talk about with buddies. But yeah, copying their bag isn’t gonna suddenly turn me into a tour pro. Shocker, I know! It’s mostly about the skill, the practice, not just the arrows.
So, that was my little dive into J.T. Poston’s bag. Found out some stuff, confirmed he uses great equipment, but mostly just reminded myself to focus on my own swing, not just the shiny clubs. Still fun to look though!
