What’s In My Bag: A Tour Through Mark’s Complete Golf Setup

Ever wonder what’s in Mark Crossfield’s golf bag? In this full walk-through, Mark breaks down every club in his setup, from driver to putter, and explains how his equipment choices support his evolving swing, playing style, and goals. Whether you're curious about shafts, lofts, or just want to learn from how a coach configures his gear, this WITB offers insight and advice for golfers at all levels.

What Mark Says...

"This setup is built around my swing changes. I’ve moved toward more forgiveness and ease of use across the board. Maxed-out drivers, cavity-back wedges, lighter shafts; everything’s tailored to help me hit more consistent shots and enjoy my game. Hopefully, you can take something from how and why I’ve chosen each club."

Inside the Setup: A Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Driver: Srixon ZX5 Mk II Max

Loft: Adjustable, currently playing at 8° (down from 9°)
Shaft: 50g lightweight (unusually light for 115mph swing speed)
Why It’s In the Bag: Mark's moved away from low-spin drivers. He prefers the forgiveness, stability, and consistent flight from a maxed-out setup.
Performance: Spins around 2000–2200 RPM, rarely dips below 2000, delivering high ball speed and stable carry.

2. Fairway Woods: Srixon ZX & Cleveland HALO XL

3-Wood: 15° Srixon ZX with Ventus TR 6S shaft
- Chosen for slightly more loft due to swing changes and better flight/launch.
- Delivers “bombing” distance and consistent performance.
5-Wood: Cleveland HALO XL (18°)
- “Cheat code” club; replaces old power hybrid.
- Very easy to launch, great for hitting into greens with high descent angle.
- Fills the gap between 3W and 22° hybrid.

3. Hybrid: Srixon ZX 22°

Why It’s In the Bag: Mark’s go-to club for versatility. Plays it like a wedge from many yardages and lies.
Performance: High launch, easy to control, great for both tee shots and approaches.

4. Irons: Srixon ZX4 and ZX7 Blend

ZX4 (5–PW): Game-improvement profile with strong lofts, high launch, and distance control.
ZX7 Pitching Wedge: More traditional feel and shape to blend with CBX wedges.
Shafts: KBS Tour Lite (stiff) for speed and control.
Why It’s In the Bag: Mark's swing now suits a stronger lofted, higher-launching iron. Prefers blending cavity-backs rather than jumping to blades for short irons.

5. Wedges: Cleveland CBX 4 (52° & 60°)

Bounce: 12° on both
Why It’s In the Bag: Matches iron shape and forgiveness for consistency. Prefers cavity-back wedges over blades to keep transition smooth from irons.
Shafts: Standard KBS, subject to change when he’s less lazy about it!

6. Putter: Cleveland HB Soft 2 – 11CB (48” long)

Style: Counterbalanced, non-anchored, fang-style head
Why It’s In the Bag: Mark loves the feel and alignment of this long putter. Helps him feel more passive with his hands and matches his forearm line.
Bonus: Can use it as a leaning stick or ball retriever! Also houses the only Arccos sensor in his bag.

7. Tech: Arccos + Blue Tees Rangefinder

Arccos: Only sensor on the putter (Mark prefers editing stats manually post-round)
Blue Tees Rangefinder: Affordable, accurate, and slope-adjusted with haptic feedback.
Comment: “A great combo for distance control and stat tracking.”

8. Golf Ball: Srixon Z-Star XV

Why It’s In the Bag: Prefers the firmer feel and “clip” at impact.

Conclusion: A Bag Built for Consistency, Not Just Speed

Mark’s current setup reflects a shift toward forgiveness, launch, and control; not raw spin or distance alone. Whether it’s moving to a max driver, lighter shafts, or using cavity-back wedges, everything is selected for stability and simplicity. His advice? Don’t chase trends, build a bag that supports your swing and your goals.
