What’s In The Bag: Nelly Korda

Published:

What golf clubs does Nelly Korda use? We take a look at what’s in the bag of the Major winner, Olympic champion and former women’s World No.1.

In her six years on the LPGA Tour, Korda has 46 career top-10 finishes, eight of which came in 2022 and she is now an eight-time winner on the LPGA Tour with her most recent victory coming at the 2022 Pelican Women’s Championship.

She became a major champion back in 2021 winning the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at the Atlanta Athletic Club, where Korda won by three strokes over Lizette Salas after shooting 68 in the final round.

Korda won golf’s Olympic gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 becoming only the second woman in history to reach this feet as she edged her way to a one-shot victory over Mone Inami and Lydia Ko who claimed Silver and Bronze.

Nelly Korda won Olympic Golf gold for USA at Tokyo 2020.

Nelly has the edge over older sister Jessica Korda, who has six LPGA titles and is still searching for her first major. Both sisters played together in the 2019 and 2021 Solheim Cup teams.

For 2023, Korda has signed a multi-year deal with TaylorMade to play a full bag of their equipment, including their TP5 ball. She’s continuing to test TaylorMade’s equipment to get the perfect bag but, in the meantime, will continue to game her Scotty Cameron Special Select Squareback 2 Tour Prototype.

“I signed with TaylorMade because of their proven ability to elevate the game of the best golfers in the world,” Korda said. “It is clear that they share my passion for working as hard as possible to be in the best position to win. I’m thrilled to be a part of Team TaylorMade.”

Korda joined TaylorMade just a few days after signing a deal with Nike Golf to wear the brand’s apparel and shoes.

Let’s take an in-depth look at Nelly Korda’s golf bag for 2023.

What driver does Nelly Korda use?

Nelly Korda uses a TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Driver (9°)

Best for distance with forgiveness

Description

The Stealth HD stands for ‘High Draw’…not your first guess, right? Featuring the traditional red and black livery that we have become accustomed to since the launch of the Stealth family, the 2 HD is one of the most forgiving high-performing drivers on the market. TaylorMade has used weight-saving advancements to boost forgiveness as opposed to speed, addressing feedback that the first-generation Stealth drivers were not the most forgiving.
 
This second-generation model launches 1° higher and reduces spin by 200-300 RPM, meaning you can expect a fraction more distance along with additional forgiveness. Thanks to a shorter neck, the shaft length of the HD comes up ¼ inch shorter than the other models in the Stealth family. This shorter lever has been crafted to inspire confidence and encourage more sweet-spot contacts.

Pros

  • Increased sweet spot size
  • Excellent distance and forgiveness performance
  • Great looking, confidence-inspiring

Cons

  • Very slow swing speeds might prefer a longer shaft
Lofts 9°, 10.5°, 12°
Stock shafts Fujikura Speeder NX Red
Adjustable hosel +/- 2°
Stock grips Golf Pride Z-Grip Plus2 Black/Red

What fairway wood does Nelly Korda use?

Description

The Stealth 2 fairway woods are an excellent fit for most reasonable speed club golfers.

TaylorMade like to refer to them as their cheat code, so long as you don’t find launching modern fairways from the deck a challenge, they’ll be one of the longest and most forgiving fairway woods available in 2023.  

Thanks to lowering the center of gravity inside the Stealth 2 head, the high CT area is more aligned with where golfers impact shots when hitting from the turf. The idea is simple but it means shots are easier to flight, with additional speed. TaylorMade have achieved it by reducing face and crown height by 2mm and positioning sizeable internal mass towards the rear of the head.

Pros

  • Low center of gravity enabling a high launch
  • Easy to align with target
  • Will appeal to all players with reasonable swing speeds

Cons

  • No adjustable hosel but multiple loft options
Lofts 3W - 15° / 3W HL - 16.5° / 5W - 18° / 7W - 21° / 9W - 24°

Adjustable hosel No

What irons does Nelly Korda use?

Nelly Korda uses TaylorMade P770 irons (5-6) and TaylorMade P7MC irons (7-PW)

Description

Thanks to tungsten weighting inside a hollow body construction, the P770 irons have a slightly higher MOI than the P7MC, which is good for hitting straight shots.

In our test, the TaylorMade P770 produced a ball speed 0.8 mph faster than the same loft P7MC. Shots launched higher and the ball hit the green at a steeper angle, whilst also adding 3 yards of additional carry distance.

Pros

  • High launch
  • Good distance for the loft
  • Hold greens brilliantly

Cons

  • Slot and screw detract from looks
Stock shaft KBS Tour

What golf ball does Nelly Korda use?

Nelly Korda uses a TaylorMade TP5 golf ball

Best tour standard distance golf balls

Price: £35.75
Amazon Amazon Prime

Description

Since the TP5 and TP5x were first introduced by TaylorMade in 2017 they have been a serious competitor to the Pro V1 and Pro V1x on Tour and in the amateur game. Until TaylorMade unveiled their TP5 and TP5x golf balls, no brand had ever produced a five-piece golf ball. The combination of layers delivers a golf ball that flies consistently well with good distance and optimal spin from every club.

As a challenger to the best golf ball in professional golf, TaylorMade enhanced the technology within their TP5 and TP5x to make them even more competitive at a more reasonable price. For those looking for assistance with alignment and an easier ball to see there is the Pix option with the TP5 and TP5x which not only adds vibrancy to the golf balls but also clearpath alignment to help roll in the putts.
