The 25-year-old relies on the Titleist TSi2 driver to launch his drives quickly and accurately. It is designed to deliver maximum forgiveness and stability, which suits Im’s smooth and powerful swing. The two-time PGA Tour winner has it set at just 8 degrees of loft.

In addition, he also uses a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7 X shaft, which is 45.25 inches long, to optimize his launch conditions and distance. For his fairway wood, he opts for the Titleist TS3, which is a more adjustable and versatile option than the TSi2, which has it at 15 degrees of loft.
