Ryan Fox’s Driver

Fox currently has an equipment contract with Srixon, and the deal results in him using a Srixon driver, irons, and golf ball, along with the carefully crafted Cleveland wedges. Fox’s favorite club would be the driver. When he was interviewed a while ago he said he carries it roughly 315 to 320 yards and his model is the Srixon ZX5 Mk II and it is fitted with a Fujikura Ventus Blue 7 TX shaft.

Ryan Fox’s Fairway wood

In addition to his set, Fox has now included the latest Srixon ZX Mk II fairway wood in his bag, featuring a Fujikura Ventus shaft, as shown below. This has replaced the TaylorMade SIM model he had been using for some time. The Srixon ZX Mk II fairway wood was remarkably straightforward to hit, and if you are looking for a versatile fairway. The club feels fast and stable, which inexperienced golfers will find reassuring when taking shots into par fives or small greens.

Ryan Fox’s Irons

When it comes to irons, Fox carries a Srixon Z U85 utility 3-iron with a Nippon shaft to help him fly the ball a little better. In addition, depending on the course, he frequently substitutes a 2-iron for a 3-iron. He carries this for around 250 yards. When this three-iron isn't in the bag, he utilizes the Srixon ZX5 Mk II iron from three-iron to five-iron, and from six-iron to pitching wedge, he uses the Srixon ZX7 Mk II irons with True Temper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts.

Ryan Fox’s Wedges

Fox then uses three Cleveland RTX-6 ZipCore wedges with lofts of 50, 56, and 60 degrees, although we can suppose one of them is lofted up or down to fit into distinct gapping. Despite being designed for lower handicap players, the wedge is a remarkably user-friendly muscleback wedge that emphasizes control.

Ryan Fox’s Putter

Finally, Fox previously used a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 8.5 putter, it is believed he currently utilizes a Fine fine-tuned prototype. Fine Tuned is an American putter manufacturer that sells putter fittings and a variety of models on its website. Fox's design is a working prototype.

Ryan Fox’s Ball

The Srixon Z Star XV is Fox's favorite golf ball. This premium ball is perfect for players with faster swing speeds who want to gain distance without compromising on the feel around the green. Cameron Champ, who also has a fast swing speed, uses the XV because of its four-piece design. Recently, the ball was reformulated to include a FastLayer inner core, which has significantly improved ball speed and distance.
