Matt Fitzpatrick has used PING S55 irons for most of his professional career.
These clubs were first made available to the general public in 2013 and have been in Fitzpatrick's bag since 2014, the year he became a professional.
The same irons were also used in Fitzpatrick's winning bag at the 2022 US Open and then at the 2023 RBC Heritage.
Fitzpatrick switched to new irons in 2024 after trying PING's Blueprint S irons after the Ryder Cup in 2023.
He then made a dramatic club move to a set of Titleist T100 irons for the 2024 US Open after switching from the 2019 Titleist Pro V1x golf ball to the 2021 Pro V1x most recently at the Wells Fargo Championship.
“For me, I just needed more flight and more spin, and the combination of the ball and the irons did that for me,” Fitzpatrick said.
His versions of the T100 irons sport a Tour-inspired, compact head shape, but also have a cavity-back construction and add Tungsten to the heads to improve forgiveness and launch.
Fitzpatrick's instruments have something that sets them apart, however.
Titleist has brought a special grinding to the leading edge designed to help Fitzpatrick achieve the turf contact, spin and length he wants out of his clubs.
PGA TOUR professional Patrick Cantlay has the same best grind on his Titleist AP2 718 irons. However, Fitzpatrick assured the golf media community that his custom grind is different.
He even called customizing the “Fitz grind.”
It's been a year of metal changes and a big departure for Fitzpatrick, who hasn't changed his set in nearly a decade.
Now, he's moving forward on the PGA TOUR using a set of Titleist T100 irons, with a special Fitz grind.
The T100 series is marketed as Titleist's Modern Tour pro iron that promises improved feel, refined construction, Vokey-influenced flexibility and D18 dual tungsten weight.
Its fully engineered dual-cavity construction gives the Titleist T100s a solid feel at impact, while the precision CNC milling process results in consistent contact for better player control.
By using dense D18 tungsten and a 2000-degree aerospace process, Titleist engineers eliminate welding points and can be more precise with CG placement to give the player the benefit of modern engineering performance and a strong forged feel.
