Patrick Rodgers WITB: shot at the 2014 Quicken Loans

Great set up.

I see that he has the covert 1.0 performance "tour issue" version in the bag.

Give me (even though I have the covert 2.0 performance).

[Judge Smails]

Yes, lot of Covert 1.0 "tour issues" remaining in the bag. Would love to have the scoop on this.

[UncleKevin]

Not sure if this is one of them, but I remember someone talking about Rory and Tiger having the 2.0 in the bag but it has the 1.0 color way. Could be wrong.

[prhiam]

Would also like to hear about the 1.0 performance proto that these guys are hitting. I believe that it is simply the 2.0 in it's proto and testing stage which is why none have changed since getting the club. But I am not entirely sure of this.

[QMany]

Brand new Vokeys, that's odd.

Yes, only fairways.

Not just Tiger and Rory, other staffers have it as well.

I thought all nike deals were 14 club deals? Nike making an exception for Patrick?
Is he using a nike ball?

In the Nike Golf press release he says ball and putter will take a while to get used to. Sounds like he will have a Method and Nike ball soon.

For now, still Titleist and Scotty Cameron.

[Ascan]

Interesting that what looks like his 5-7 irons are chrome and his 8-p are satin finished.

That was my understanding as well, but someone claimed otherwise in the Tiger thread.

[staysober for golf]

No 4 iron?

Yup, prhiam is correct. All you have to do is look at the cavity in the "tour" performance model and it's the same as the 2.0. But in the Covert original color scheme.

[Justapitchandaputt]

Interesting Nike didn't let Rory slowly transition his wedges/putter when he swapped.

Perhaps Nike are learning from their mistakes.

Or perhaps Rory had the choice and simply wasn't playing well. Pick your conspiracy theory.

True, but aren't Nike deals driver through putter? At least that's what I had thought

[SDkristick]

There have been multiple players that have been with nike that have had non nike clubs for example tiger had the Scotty rory had a Scotty and Carl petterson when he was with nike had a rocketballz 3 wood

[scarraman]

Interesting to see PX6.0 in his irons. Figured most tour players would be at least 6.5 at their swingspeeds. Does anyone know of this happening elsewhere?

[nova6868]

PX 6.0 ain't no slouch. It's quite stiff. Spieth plays the same shaft.

I notice that his hybrid appears rather shortened, probably at least an inch shorter than stock.

[bigeasy]

what did he play in college?

[gibbyfan]

The 6.0 is interesting. X in the woods but softer in the irons to increase the spin and launch perhaps. Similar to Michelle Wie x in the woods, but S300 HL in the irons.

[Jake0331]

If you hardstep a 6.0 it's pretty dang close to a 6.5, he may just like the little bit lighter weight. 6.9 versus 7.0 and 5 grams lighter.

[Golfingfanatic]

Really like the putter headcover

I'm pretty sure Rory is making a little more. Rodgers will probably be 14 clubs by the end of the year.

This current setup is pretty much unchanged from his college days.

[Jamboy72]

Absolutely love the putter cover!

[bknapp34]

used to play against him in hight school. My favorite thing about his bag then was the ball marks the size of a nickel on all his clubs. especially his driver! he was always a sneaky low scorer if you watched him. he would just make 6 average birdies, he just never seemed to make a dang bogie! Love seeing him on the forums now and on TV. hope he plays well this week!

[kekoa]

Thats a WRX bag from top to bottom. I could personally play everything except Nike woods.
