Quick Answer
Neal Shipley plays a PING G440 LST driver, PING iDi irons, PING S159 wedges, a PING PLD DZB Prototype putter, and the Titleist Pro V1 ball, as recorded in the September 2026 bag snapshot. The driver is built with a Fujikura Ventus Black 7 X shaft.
Neal Shipley played college golf at Pittsburgh before a graduate season at Ohio State, and he reached the final of the 2023 U.S. Amateur. He followed that with low amateur honors at both the 2024 Masters and the 2024 U.S. Open, then turned professional and moved into the professional ranks that summer. The driver is a PING G440 LST at 7.75 degrees, a strong loft by tour standards, with a Fujikura Ventus Black 7 X in it. PING covers every club in the bag. The iron setup runs the iDi at 3, the i240 at 4, and Blueprint T from 5 through 9, a three model progression rather than a single stock set, with Dynamic Gold Tour Issue 120 X100 from the 4 iron down. Across both snapshots on file the driver, the long iron pairing and the Titleist Pro V1 have not moved. What changed is the Blueprint S dropping out and a new putter, the PLD DZB Prototype, taking over from the PLD Milled Anser 2.

Bag History
2 snapshots tracked, 2026
Two snapshots exist, from July 2026 and September 2026, and both are PING from driver to putter with a Titleist Pro V1 as the only outside brand. The G440 LST driver, the iDi long iron and the i240 4 iron carry through unchanged across both. The differences are inside the set and on the green: the July bag carried both Blueprint S and Blueprint T irons, while the current one runs Blueprint T alone from 5 through 9, and the PLD Milled Anser 2 has been replaced by a PLD DZB Prototype. No brand arc to track here, only movement within the PING lineup.
