πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ#533·UPDATED Nov 3, 2026

Quick Answer

Kihei Akina plays a PING G440 LST driver, PING i240 irons, PING S259 wedges, a PING PLD Milled Ally Blue 4 putter, and the Titleist Pro V1x ball, as recorded in the October 2026 bag snapshot. The driver is built with a Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X shaft.

Kihei Akina is a competitive professional with a short equipment file, two verified bag snapshots roughly a year apart and nothing in between to muddy the picture. The record is thin, so the bag does most of the talking. PING covers the driver, both iron sets, and the putter, with no competing logo anywhere in the file. The G440 LST at 9 degrees runs a Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X. The irons split: i240 in the 4 and 5, Blueprint S from 6 through pitching wedge, all on True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 120. Both iron models also appear in the October 2025 snapshot, as does the same driver head. The one visible change is at the putter, where a PLD Anser gave way to a PLD Milled Ally Blue 4, a move within the same shop rather than out of it. Shafts and grips aside, a Titleist Pro V1x is the only non-PING item on the current list.

Bag History

2 snapshots tracked, 2025-2026

Two snapshots, one brand. PING supplied the driver, both iron sets, and the putter in October 2025 and still does on the current list, with the G440 LST, the i240 long irons, and the Blueprint S scoring irons carrying over unchanged. The single difference between the two bags is the putter, a PLD Anser in the earlier snapshot and a PLD Milled Ally Blue 4 now, which keeps the change inside the same PLD line. No competing driver brand shows up anywhere in the observed record.
