That 59* wedge is not something I would expect to see in Rory's bag.

[Holy Moses]

What's the 8.1-5 on the toe sweep wedge? 8 degrees bounce and? Is that Dave Stockton with him or someone else?

Just thought he was a TaylorMade guy. Guess not anymore.

[pr1mo990]

great pics, thanks for taking them! Man I love that putter.

[Lesmond]

Great everything. Awesome tour (performance) fairways.

There was a set of 15* and 19* on eBay recently.

That 4 iron makes me want to look at a hybrid photo right away.

Also, thanks for the pics.

Much appreciated.

I've said it Before and I'll say it again.
Tow Sweep. It works.
Zip Cap and I've tried many a wedges.
Try it. Good enough For Rory and Michelle Wie.
It's worth a try. And they both won just putting it in the bag. Just my 2 cents.

Dave was hired by Nike for their R&D team last year.

Thanks for the pics.

7.0. What a beast.

Do the toe sweep wedges only come in the higher lofts?

Any chance in getting pics of Scott's bag?

They only come in lofts of 56,58 and 60. All 10 bounce, but you could always get the lofts adjusted.

I have a 60* that I am keeping stock, I want to get a 56* and bend to a 54*.

Interesting wedge. I can see that being beneficial in a lot of situations....deep rough around the green with the ball significantly above your feet and slightly side hill. It would be helpful in that situation.

Very under rated wedge. Works great from any lie.

[ace036]

Just curious, but does anyone know what Rory's grip specs are? I.E. are they ribbed? How many wraps or what size they are etc...? Richard, I am assuming you've handled them when taking photos? Your thoughts?

Ribbed, for his pleasure. JK, I don't know.

[scratchswinger]

Great photos!

Toe Sweep can work wonders on US Open rough.

[rbhan12]

Was very confused to see an all titleist bag for the first picture.

[Beastmode Broker]

love the bag, its clean
also wondering what the 8.1-5 means and the single dot on the sole

i could watch this kid swing all day long
between him and Adam Scott, I'm sure there aren't prettier swings on tour

[NDgrad09]

8-1.5

8 bounce on toe, 1.5 bounce on heel?

Just a guess

I looked at that for about 5 mins. and almost left the thread without looking at the rest. Toe sweep = awesome!

My thoughts exactly.. Me thinks it's a joke to get people thinking he switched back to Titleist

[Golfingfanatic]

The P95 seems to live forever on tour

[/quote]

I was thinking the same thing. I too was confused about the first picture on there but I chalked it up to Greg having, I don't know, a few thousand pictures roaming around and maybe just dumped one in there on accident.

[alecfeltman]

How awesome is his bag and set up? Answer: Extremely Awesome.

I love the P95x shafts in his fairway woods. Ive been looking for some to put in my 3 and 5 2.0 performance fairway woods.

I currently have Project X 6.5 shafts in my irons and wedges. I only wish I had the firepower to upgrade to 7.0's.

[alecfeltman]

Great video about Rory's clubs.

[Holy Moses]

Still don't know why they don't release his putter cover and putter. Guess Nike has enough money.

[alecfeltman]

Nike definitely needs to release both the putter and putter cover. I love the current green putter cover Rory and other nike staffers are using from the masters.

That's probably means it's tour-issue stamped. There are not dots on the swoosh, so I am guessing they made a dot on the sole.

Too bad it's all sand and weeds at #2 this year. No wedge can tame it!

8 bounce on toe, 1.5 bounce on heel?

[/quote]

Based on discussions with Mike Taylor at the Oven, I think the 8 - 1.5 represents 8 degrees of bounce square, reduced to 1.5 degrees wide open.

This is when Mike was most proud of when discussing the wedge.

Also, looks like the TS has trailing edge relief to reduce camber.
