Changes irons and driver with a snap of the finger and decimates at the snap of a finger. But supposedly changing to Nike clubs caused a set-back in his game last year. Does everyone agree that was ridiculous?

Rumor-fact has it that Rory's been practicing with the new 2015 Vapor line since June and wanted to put them in play sooner then later but Nike encouraged Rohrs to chill.

No more FlatBill for Rohrs?

I liked it. Needs to bring it back.

And it's definitely the new Diamana blueboard (paint scheme)

Same specs on his new driver? Bc he just mauls the ball does he play the woods wide open?

If I recall his setting correctly with the 2.0 tour it was 8.5 N.

The kid KILLS the ball. Haven't seen a swing that free and flowing - pure art.

Agreed its like a circa 2000 TW art in Motion.

8.5 N, measured it could be 2 open???, we just dont know

The paint scheme on the irons certainly seems less bold in these images than it seemed when we all saw them for the first time in August...

Not sure if it's the fact that they are just growing on me or if the images before were just a big change from the simply MMProtos.

I remember hearing from my sales rep that in the Neutral setting, the Vapor woods sit 1* open. What he had been told at the sales meetings.

A lot of grimaces and body language in those pics... hopefully it's not dissatisfaction with the new equipment! Watched quite a bit of the tournament, he didn't seem to be as long with the new driver as his last. I could be wrong but there were multiple tee shots tracked with his driver and the distance was often under 300 yards. I'm sure it's a fine driver, just doubt it's any better than his last one.

Could have been the cooler temps, too. That can take a couple yards off.

[alecfeltman]

I wonder how long it will take, if ever, for Rory to putt the new vapor fairway woods into his bag.

I know fairways are one of the hardest clubs to replace once you have something you love, and that guy definitely loves his 3 and 5.

Does Rory always play with a spike missing in each shoe?

No spike is missing in the shoe. Just uses metal instead of soft spikes.

 

[Holy Moses]

I knew that. I guess right below the top spike there is a space that looks like it should have a spike in it. Guess not.

Nope. It's plastic traction in the sole.

I'm looking forward to the 2015 Rory bag. What awesome clubs and shafts will be gamed in '15.

Always my favorite set up on tour.

Wouldn't they want him to play whatever he thinks gives him the best chance to win? This doesn't make any sense.
