TaylorMade Rors Proto P700 Irons (P730 Retail)

[GolfGrouch]

Welcome to the forum to discuss the TaylorMade Rors Proto P700 Irons!

 

According to PGATour.com:

 

The most eye-catching addition to McIlroy's bag is the new iron setup that features a custom set of P700 Series "Rors Proto" irons (5-9) that he worked closely with the company's R&D team to develop. The traditional muscleback has a shorter blade length, reduced offset and a thinner topline that McIlroy prefers.

 

"That's something I've been consistent with and played the whole way throughout my career,” McIlroy said. “I love the finish on them. If anything, I told Keith based on what I was paying before, the topline was just a little thick for my liking, so they thinned it out for me. The iron setup is still a little bit new to me, but what I've seen from testing it's going to be really good. "

 

What was your initial impression when you saw the prototype irons for the first time?

 

McILROY: “I still remember I was on the range at The Bear's Club with [Dustin Johnson] and he saw the irons in my bag and immediately made a call to someone at TaylorMade to make sure he got a set. They just look good. I love the compact head and the topline just really suits my eye. I also feel like even if I hit these irons a bit off-center, they still go, which is really nice to have with a blade.”

I can't wait to see what the mass market launch of these will look like. Maybe a nice reboot of the iconic TP 2014 MB's.

Does anyone smell a Nike and Taylormade partnership in the works?????

[cardoustie]

I'd hit that

Oh good, this is the "official" one...

[moonshine]

We seriously don't believe these are better than what he was using...do we?

[Golf64]

They sure are purdy! ;)

[YoYoJumbo]

Geez those are good looking. Id like to see a side by side with the Callaway MBs.

[Warrick]

I have to be honest, look better than the Cally MB's, that is a simple, yet sexy iron.

[Boricua Golf]

Just gorgeous...

[moonshine]

....I also have to interject the guys not getting money to play different irons have mostly picked the M word....just sayin'

[Z1ggy16]

I wonder if the milling line is just for looks or actually serves a purpose? Look very sexy though. Clean and simple.

[jsixman]

Wow I think I'll be the only one, but those blades are just not attractive to me. I could name plenty of better looking blades than those. Titleist MB, proto cally, mizzy, just a few.

Those look amazing.

[bnb9433]

nice looking sticks there.....

[ckay]

Some channelbacks, eh?

[tnrts345]

I think his Cally MB's were pretty simple and clean, had that rusty raw finish that gives it character. That being said I feel that there will be more collaboration from the big names to replace the TP '14 MB's. We might see DJ, JR, RORS and Tiger make a nice set. Call me naive but this looks like a decent start to Taylormade's future

[DavePelz4]

Is Taylormade endorsing this thread which makes it "Official?" Have never understood this.

[brew4eagle]

Neither these nor the Callaways look as nice as his VR Pro blades...

I'd say you're crazy. at least until TM is not owned by Adidas. I just don't see how Nike will team up with adidas...Those clubs do look nice though. Definitely more than I could play.

Oh I know that they are still owned but from what I have heard in the past Adidas was trying to find a buyer for the Taylormade Brand. I just figured Taylormade would be sold and Nike would take advantage of the athletes

[lumberman2462]

Nice looking blades....

 

I have no doubt DJ can call up and get a set but surely they would say "DJ Proto" rather than Rors....

 

Then again Dustin make not give a flying (#)(#) what it says on his clubs.

Limited edition. Custom with your name on it? I don't want to think about how much money I'd pay for that...

[moonshine]

Man if he uses that spider and goes on a run production may have to increase a bit....I'm shocked how many on all tours have switched.

[1s1k]

Sir, as you can see. Mine was the first "official" reply about being "official." Just wanted to clarify.

[GolfGrouch]

 

"Those were supposed to be my blades..."

[the bishop]

I think there's a bunch of 8-caps about to go to 12 just off the irons alone.

[Golfingfanatic]

Beautiful

[knock it close]

Who got cucked more Tiger or Callaway??

[Gh05t]

wonder how adidas is going to feel when he's rocking Nike apparel and shoes and not theirs to got with the TM gear.
