This. 

[hardestcoregolfer]

I wonder if the grip change actually just has to do with the rubber inventory issue Golf Pride has right now.  Xander also recently switched (from Z cord to MMC).  Maybe even the Tour is feeling the woes of pandemic related issues.  Either way, hope Rors has a big week.  Nobody I love watching more!

I played mccs in the 2000s, but dropped them for lamkin crossline cord because the lower part would just turn rock hard and slick after a few rounds.  Have they improved?

Harry doesn’t need the money as he and his family are very successful in the hospitality industry so if you’re hinting that Rory is just trying to help a buddy make money you are way off. Harry might have even more money than Rory!
 

As far as whether he’s a good caddy for Rory, I’m sure Rory knows way better than what you think you know.

Rory is my favorite player but come on, I feel like writers don't even try anymore and these days athlete nicknames are all terrible. When you compare "Rors" to "Black Mamba" or "Sir Charles" or "Charlie Hustle or "Sweet Pea" or "The Mailman" or "Broadway", it just doesn't compare. Even "Golden Bear" and "Bantam" and "The King" are so much better. 

lol...i think you have it all wrong on his nickname...but old schol nicknames were always great....

 

much better then the trend of the 2000's when an athlete or actor would just use the first letter of their first name and a few letters of their last name.   like J-lo....A-Rod.....lol...hated all that crap. ROARS is cool since its been his names since he was a youngling

[Disco Ninja]

Looks like he's using a short slant Hydro Blast? Can anyone confirm this? Hopefully this will get it to retail to add to the flow neck and single bend. Would love that option.🤞

Boy, if you hate that nickname, you must REALLY hate hockey players nicknames.

LOL. Nobody playing P7MB really. Makes you wonder why even replace something that works. Having had/hit both at one strong like Rory plays them, the P7MB felt much more diggy so I can see why he went back. 
 

That said, more than 99.9% of people will struggle with P730. To pure them you need to be a couple MM from shanking it. Rory’s ball speed with 7i at 34* is 140 +/-  if you’ve hit those irons you know how crazy that is. He’s putting so much energy into the ball. Any kind of club that would add speed would probably make it very hard for him to control distance.

Both he and DJ play their irons slightly over length and way more upright than I would guess. I play mine basically identical to Rory's specs and have for quite some time. Funny I was tinkering until I found what I liked best and then found this link and realized they were literally the same.

Remember, this is how TM measures clubs, so DJ is roughly a 1/4 over and Rory standard length if you go 37” grip off 7 iron....

I know I absolutely max at 133-134 going after it. He doesn’t even look like he works for it.

I am 133-135 is average and 175-178 driver.. I always wonder if those numbers during the round are inflated.. But he for sure moves the ball.

Wasn’t there a photo on the tour truck report or “interesting photos” of Rory using one of the Fuji practice iron shafts on the range recently? I tried tracking it down but couldn’t find it. Does that ring a bell to anyone?

Yes, he has the TW 56º and the TW 60º in the bag. He toyed with a standard MG2 60º during the practice round, but put the TW 60º back in the bag for the tourney. Fantastic wedge.
