I'm tempted to try to buy a set just to flip them.

You and perhaps another 10,000 people too If basically everyone tries to flip them they may not even bring much over their price. Plus there is always a danger that since they are numbered Nike will know exactly who flips them and then you may kiss your chance at Rory's proto 006 goodbye or any future Oven specials.

For me, the allure of the set is the personal options. I wouldn't spend money on a set someone customized with intention of flipping. I have to think this model will eventually release.

You are right, probably in the Fall for a mass release?

I think Rory just told Sergio. I'm going to kick your a$$.

Sergio is the pitiable multimillionaire superstar in golf.

I'm sure his bottom line is okay.

Here's a look at the @nikegolf gear @McIlroyRory will be wearing this week at the @PGAChampionship:

[alecfeltman]

Flatbill finally on the wardrobe layout. Good call Rors.

Hopefully it doesn't stay FLAT. Looks much more classy with a bend. Only punks wear flat bills... they should get off the gentleman's course and hang out in the projects.

Yeah, Rickie Fowler. You thug. Go back to the projects.

Ok.. let me rephrase that... perhaps the projects reference was a bit much, but hats like that sure don't belong on a golf course, more like cities and clubs. Rickie doesn't make it look any better, sorry.

Is Rory using a retail Covert Tour 2.0 as far as adjustability and head shape or is it drastically more of a tour issue prototype design like Tiger's?

[7018]

From this video, it sure sounds like its retail. He said he was given this driver during a photoshoot and loved it so much he kept it, despite there being a nick from shipping

It's the retail version, it has a 2.0 logo on the crown as well.

When Nike first leaked photo of the driver and Rory was testing it, they mentioned he gamed the retailed version.

You can also see on driver head where it shows the loft of his club, the line thing. It's the same as retail version.

If you look at others, like Noh and Wie their indicator looks like a D with a square.

The only thing bigger than their expectations are yours.#‎PGAChampionship

PX 6.5 in his wedges? Their information was outdated before it was even published.

PGA Championship: Round 1

 

[alecfeltman]

I'm starting to become a bigger fan of the rory outfits after he has incorporated the flatbill.

The previous attire (open champ) was mediocre because of the mesh hats. Some of the days were awful, while others (Sunday) looked alright.

[pr1mo990]

i wonder if he'll keep the new 2.0 3 wood in play after today. He hit it about 3 times and 2 of them were bad hooks on 10, his only bad shots. Maybe he's not quite used to it yet? He still looked pretty much unstoppable, could have had 6 birds and an eagle on last 7 holes if not for missing the hole by a few inches a couple times. I don't think he missed a drive all day
