Dustin Johnson WITB Currently?

Currently, in the bag, the two-time major champion has exchanged his 3-wood for the advanced TaylorMade SIM2 Ti model with twist-face technology, whilst adding two SIM Max rescues to the bag. However, pictures captured on CBS Sports and Getty images show that he also uses a 7-wood and a 3-iron as well as the rescues.

TaylorMade Milled-Grind 2 Models

DJ has also been seen hitting the golf ball with a full set of irons from the pitching wedge up to the 3-iron from the TaylorMade P730 DJ Proto series. At the top of the bag, he’s switched two of his wedges for extra wood. All of which, are designed with raw face TaylorMade Milled-Grind 2 models.

Does Johnson Use the Spider Limited Itsy Bitsy Putter?

Unlike his wedges, Taylormade Milled-Grind irons, and SIM Max rescues to Taylormade P730 DJ Proto clubs that stay in the bag, his putter selection has many faces. He was playing with a Spider Tour Mini but switched to the TaylorMade TB1 Truss. However, DJ has been recently pulling a Black TaylorMade Spider limited Itsy out of the bag.

Whilst the putter TaylorMade Spider Limited appears to be his new putter of choice, it is not clear whether he has stopped using the TaylorMade TB1 Truss and Spider Tour Mini. So, what has DJ been carrying in his RBC insignia golf bag over the past two years?
