Rory McIlroy signed with TaylorMade (MERGED)

[GolfGrouch]

I'm just glad that Rory didn't sign with Cally.

[jsixman]

Will be the only one, but both of those putters are very fugly to me, and those blades are not attractive. Plenty of blades better looking than that. Let's hear it.

[laxbc101]

I think I just came...

Possibly 3 of my favorite players on Tour with TM now, and the only thing I like is the ball.

 

Damn....

 

I would like to try the 750's, but that is too expensive a test.

I don't like either one of them as well.

nike boys running to snag some TMAG swag now.

 

Alot of the Nike guys were already on the TMAG train...but this will definitely nudge others in that direction. It seems like they were targeting some of the Nike clientele with their color schemes this year...

Good info and quotes from Rory in this story ... http://www.golfdigest.com/story/rory-mcilroy-signs-equipment-deal-with-taylormade

[Warrick]

lol at the Cally vs. TM guys in this thread......

 

 

If a true fan of Rors, who cares, play what works best.

 

I liked the idea of him playing the Epic line, but the M Series did not work for me, and if Sergio playing them could not get me to switch, nothing will.

 

I just want to see him playing good.

LOL they already have a "shop Rory's bag" at the bottom of the page. Man o man they did not wait long to try and cash in on this.

[gvogel]

He won two majors in 2014. We'll see how long it takes him to fine tune the new stuff.

 

My guess is that he could play the clubs he used in 2014 and be more competitive for the next 6 months.

"I started with a Callaway 6-iron and Titleist ball and it went around 184 yards, and then I hit the same 6-iron with a Callaway ball and it went 3 yards further," McIlroy said. "I was like, 'That works for me.' Then I hit the TaylorMade 6-iron with the TaylorMade ball and it went 7 yards further than that. So I was getting 10 yards extra over the initial 6-iron combination. The TrackMan numbers I was seeing not only with the irons but the woods as well I had never gotten before, so at that point I felt like the decision to join their staff made sense."

Interesting that he isn't using the new adapter with the slimmed down hosel...wonder why. I think DJ is doing the same but figured that was just so he could keep the same shaft.

As much as they are paying him, why would they not try to cash in immediately??

[drvrwdge]

The wear patterns in all the clubs though....

[Warrick]

from an article on PGA....

 

PGATOUR.COM: 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

 

 

That sh1t right there is pure gold.....

[Wdwfreak]

Those putters. Wow he's all in. I was expecting the Odyssey or the scotty in the bag.... Very interesting

[Ace2000]

McIlroy will go with three Milled Grind wedges (46-09SB, 54-11SB and 60-09LB) that are machine milled to his personal specs with his first and last name on the back of two of the heads (54- and 60-degree), and his initials on the other (46-degree).

Not saying they shouldn't, it's just funny in a sense; he's been officially a staffer for all of 2 hours and you can already "buy his clubs" even though all the other TM staffers play them already.

Titleist can't be happy...

Now that's funny. I don't blame him.

The Odyssey is staying for now.

Super excited to see what Rory can do with team Taylormade!!
