Shane Lowry Bag Check: Every Club He Plays in 2026

Shane Lowry is one of the most brand-loyal players in the world. Where a lot of tour pros quietly mix and match, Lowry runs an almost complete Srixon and Cleveland bag from the driver down to the ball: a Srixon ZXi LS driver, a split set of Srixon ZXi irons, three Cleveland RTZ wedges and a Srixon Z-Star XV ball. Only two clubs break the pattern, and both are TaylorMade: a Qi4D 3-wood and a Spider Tour Z putter. It is the sort of setup that tells you Lowry has found what he trusts and sees no reason to keep tinkering.

Here is his 2026 bag in full, then what actually matters if you want to borrow from it.

Shane Lowry's full bag, club by club

The story of Lowry's bag is loyalty. He signed with Srixon and Cleveland years ago and, unlike a lot of players who drift toward whatever is longest that season, he has largely kept the whole set together. That consistency is worth paying attention to as an amateur: the players who chop and change least are often the ones swinging most freely.

Driver and 3-wood

The Srixon ZXi LS at 9 degrees is the low-spin model in the range, paired with a Mitsubishi Diamana White 70 in X flex. That is a stiff, stable, lower-launching build meant for someone who delivers a lot of speed and does not need help getting the ball up. Most club golfers are better served by the standard ZXi head and a softer shaft, because chasing the lowest spin option is how you turn a good drive into a runaway one. The point to take from Lowry is the fitting logic, not the exact spec. If you want to look at current heads, browse drivers.

His only concession to another brand up top is the TaylorMade Qi4D 3-wood at 16.5 degrees, on a Graphite Design Tour AD DI shaft. It is a reminder that even the most loyal staff players keep a slot open for whatever simply performs best in their hands.

Irons and the utility

Lowry runs a split iron set, which is the most instructive part of his bag for a mid-handicap reader. The long irons are the more forgiving Srixon ZXi5 in a 4 and 5, then the set switches to the compact ZXi7 players' blade from the 6-iron through the pitching wedge. A Srixon ZXi Utility at 20 degrees sits above the irons in place of a long iron. Blending a game-improvement long iron into a blade set is a smart, honest way to build a bag, and it is exactly what a good fitter would suggest to most golfers rather than forcing one model across the whole set. See what a modern set looks like in irons.

Wedges

Three Cleveland RTZ wedges in 52, 56 and 60 degrees, all on KBS Tour Wedge X Black shafts. Keeping a full stable of one brand's wedges is unusual at the top level, where players often mix lofts and grinds from different makers. Lowry does not, which again points to a player who has settled on what works. Wedges are the one area where amateurs get the most value from matching the pros' thinking, because feel and consistent gapping matter more than raw distance. Have a look at wedges.

Putter

The TaylorMade Spider Tour Z with a #3 short slant neck is Lowry's other break from Srixon. The Spider family is one of the most copied mallet shapes in the game for good reason: high forgiveness and a stable head that helps square strokes start the ball on line. The short slant neck adds a touch of toe hang, which suits a putting stroke with a little arc to it. If a forgiving mallet appeals, start with putters.

The item you can match today

The most repeatable piece of Lowry's bag is the Srixon Z-Star XV. It is a firmer, higher-launching, higher-spinning tour ball aimed at players who want a bit more punch off the tee and a slightly different flight to the standard Z-Star. It is a normal retail product you can buy in any decent golf shop, so unlike his tour-built driver head or blades, the ball is one thing you really can play exactly as he does. We do not currently stock a buyable link for the Z-Star XV, so this one is a straight recommendation rather than a shop item. His glove is a Srixon cabretta leather glove, in keeping with the rest of the bag.

The clubs you cannot just add to a bag

Everything else in the bag is tour-built and fitted to Lowry, not to you. The ZXi LS driver head is sold at retail, but the 70-gram X-flex Diamana shaft and low-spin setting are aggressive choices for a fast, repeatable swing. The ZXi7 blades and the utility iron reward a player who strikes the centre of the face nearly every time, which describes very few club golfers. The wedges and putter are available in shops, but the exact lofts, grinds, shafts and lengths are dialled to his stroke. Copy the spec sheet and you will almost certainly end up with something that does not fit you.

The closest setup you can actually buy

Take the thinking, not the spec. Play the standard Srixon ZXi driver rather than the LS, on a shaft matched to your speed by a fitter. Build a split iron set the way Lowry does, forgiving long irons flowing into a more compact scoring iron, so you get help where you need it and control where you can use it. Carry a matched three-wedge set from one maker for consistent gapping. Put a forgiving mallet in your hand if your stroke wanders. And you can play his ball outright: the Srixon Z-Star XV is on the shelf for anyone. The lesson from Lowry is not a shopping list, it is patience. Find gear that fits, then stop fiddling with it.

Frequently asked questions

What golf ball does Shane Lowry use?

Shane Lowry plays a Srixon Z-Star XV, the firmer and higher-spinning model in the Z-Star family. It is a standard retail ball, so it is the one part of his bag you can buy and play exactly as he does.

What driver does Shane Lowry play?

A Srixon ZXi LS at 9 degrees, fitted with a Mitsubishi Diamana White 70 in X flex. The LS is the low-spin head in the range, suited to a fast, aggressive swing rather than most club golfers.

What putter does Shane Lowry use?

A TaylorMade Spider Tour Z mallet with a #3 short slant neck. It is one of only two non-Srixon clubs in his bag, alongside his TaylorMade 3-wood.

What irons does Shane Lowry play?

A split set of Srixon irons: the more forgiving ZXi5 in the 4 and 5-iron, then the compact ZXi7 blade from the 6-iron through the pitching wedge, with a Srixon ZXi Utility in place of a long iron. All are on KBS Tour 130 X shafts.

Can I buy Shane Lowry's exact setup?

You can match his ball exactly, since the Srixon Z-Star XV is a standard retail product. His driver head, wedges and putter are sold at retail too, but they are built to tour specs. The ZXi7 blades and utility iron are best left to low-handicap players, and everything should be fitted to your own swing.

Why does Shane Lowry play a TaylorMade putter and 3-wood if he is a Srixon staffer?

Tour players are usually given latitude on the clubs that come down to pure feel and confidence, and for Lowry that means a TaylorMade Spider Tour Z putter and a TaylorMade Qi4D 3-wood. Everything else, from driver to wedges to ball, stays inside the Srixon and Cleveland family.
