Driver
Ping G430 LST
Ewing was using the Ping G425 LST in 2022 but has now got the newer G430 LST model in the bag and her model has around 10.5 degrees of loft. In our testing we thought it was a hugely impressive driver that does a great job of balancing distance with consistency. It does feature at the lower spin end of the driver spectrum but it still have broad appeal along with high-tech looks and powerful feel. It is not surprising to us to see Ewing use this model given how many Tour professionals currently have it in the bag.

Fairway wood
Ping G425 LST
For her 3-wood Ally has the previous year's model in the bag, the G425 LST and she has it with 15 degrees of loft and has an Evenflow Blue 65 6.0 shaft that is tipped by .5 degrees. The LST has a smaller head with a tungsten weight, to help reduce spin and lower the trajectory. This makes it ideal for her to use in windy conditions and great if you are trying to utilize more ball speed to gain distance. With its more compact look at address and with it being built for swing speed, this fairway wood is pushed more towards the better ball striker as it offers less forgiveness when not struck cleanly.

Hybrid
Ping G430
To bridge the gap from her irons to 3-wood, Ally has gone with the Ping G430 hybrid at 19 degrees. For some, a hybrid is a better option than a utility iron offering a higher ball flight and more forgiveness. We have seen a lot more players opting for hybrids over the last few years, as they are significantly easier to hit than longer irons, so it makes sense for Ewing to go for this option.

Irons
Ping i210
Ally uses the Ping i210 irons in four-iron to PW, the only difference in this set is that the four-iron has a Ping Alta CB Slate shaft and 5-PW have Ping AWT 2.0 R shafts. The i210 came in to replace the i200 boasting a softer and more muted feel when striking the ball. We found this to be true but not to a massive extent and the i210 actually goes a little further and has increased ball speed in comparison to the i200. These irons seem to have been in Ewing's bag for a while now and she does not appear to change any time soon.

Wedges
Ping Glide 4.0
Ally Ewing has the Glide 4.0 in the bag and she uses models with 50, 54 and 58 degrees. The Glide 4.0's face is precision machined giving it clean sharp grooves, maximizing spin and control around the greens. The overall profile of the wedge gives you a comfortable feel when looking down at the club head.
The 50 and 54-degree wedges that Ally uses have the AWT 2.0 wedge shaft whereas the 58-degree wedge has the Nippon Modus 105 wedge shaft. Her wedges all come with the SS bounce, which means standard sole, offering a moderate angle of attack and working better for a variety of turfs.

Putter
Ping PLD Anser Prototype
Currently, Ally is using a Ping PLD Anser Prototype. It is 32.5 inches in length with 19 degrees lie angle and 3 degrees of loft. There isn't much known about the putter she is using due to it being a Prototype.
What we know is that it is based on the Ping PLD Anser so it should be very similar to that. This putter is better for those with a smaller arc stroke type and makes squaring the face up more natural. It has a lovely neutral look all blacked out in matte paint. The PLD answer has a milled face and is aimed towards some with that feel and purism on the greens, there is no line or dots to line up with your ball. The milled face allows for a soft feel off the face thanks to the Deep AMP pattern.

Ball
Titleist Pro V1x
Titleist has been the number one ball in golf for some time now, so it is of no surprise that Ally uses the Pro V1x ball. The Pro V1x is the low-spinning version in the Pro V range, giving her more control over her spin rates when hitting greens with her wedges and low irons.
