Today’s Golfer takes a look inside the bag of LPGA Tour golfer and two-time tour winner Angel Yin
Jump To: Yin’s WITB
Angel Yin has recorded two professional victories since turning professional in 2016. The American’s most recent victory came at the 2023 Buick LPGA Shanghai, although she has knocked on the door several times since.
The American’s rookie season on the LPGA Tour was in 2017 and this proved to be a very important year for Yin’s growth and development in the game.
That season Yin had five top 10 finishes on the LPGA Tour and conquered all to win the LET Omega Dubai Ladies Classic (now Dubai Moonlight Classic). At the end of the 2017 season, Yin was awarded a captain’s pick for the Solheim Cup – the same happened again in 2023.
Despite now having a victory since 2017, before winning the Buick LPGA Shanghai, in 2023 Yin came ever so close to Major glory, but she was defeated by fellow American, Lilia Vu, in a playoff at the Chevron Championship.
The Californian golfer built on her impressive 2023 Solheim Cup performance with her maiden LPGA Tour victory coming less than a month later. Yin wasn’t selected to represent Team USA at the 2024 Solheim Cup, but she didn’t let that impact her golf. In Fall 2024, Yin has had four top 10 finishes in her last six outings of the season. Potentially, Yin finds her best form in the Fall?
What’s In The Bag: Angel Yin
What driver does Angel Yin use?
Angel Yin uses a Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond Driver with a Diamana RF shaft
Yin clearly likes the lower spinning heads, she did previously play with a Ping driver so she might want to switch back. Her distance isn't bad, averaging 262.92 yards off the tee this season, but her dispersion can definitely improve because she ranks 135th for accuracy off the tee in 2023.

What irons does Angel Yin use?
Angel Yin has a full set of Callaway Apex TCB Irons
Her set goes from a 4 or 5-iron through to a pitching wedge and we think she plays with KBS C-Taper or C-Taper Lite shafts because of the smooth finish.

What wedges does Angel Yin use?
Angel Yin has some PXG 0311 Forged Wedges in her bag
Around the greens, Yin is a very skillful player, especially in the bunkers. This season Yin ranks 7th for sand saves with up and downs from the hazards 56.96% of the time. Yin also carries another wedge in her back that appears to be a prototype, not PXG (or Callaway), but at this moment we're unsure what it is and this makes knowing her lofts very difficult - as soon as we get the information we will pass it on to you.
The model Yin plays with has been discontinued but you can pick up the newer model.
