Rory with his GSS Cameron at the olympics ????

[Laznasty]

Is his contract with Taylormade for all 14 clubs? It'd be nice to see him rolling a Cameron again if that's what'll give him some confidence on the greens.

I thought it was weird he used a spider all year, switched to I believe a Juno at wells Fargo and won and then next tournament immediately went back to the spider. 

Rory used a Spider X in his win at the Wells Fargo.

Hmm maybe I’m wrong I thought his last win I remember seeing him use a blade 

[bladehunter]

Yea I think the swap to juno and win was at bay hill , then swapped out of it next event.  If I. Recall correctly he had a really really mind blowing week strokes gained with putter that week.  
 

I’d just like to see his stroke free up.  He looks so bound with the spider to me.

Here’s a pic that shows it to be the spider at the Wells Fargo.

Not 100% sure Rorys contract is 14 clubs, but would think it is or would guess he makes a lot more $$ if he plays all 14

 

I think the sponsorship is part of it.

Olympics are not in the contract so it's a perfect week for him to test

 

I liked him before the putter change, now hes gotta be the top pick haha

With an easily blown up image it's easy to make out what's on the face of the putter.

 

 

 

Here is what I see when I “blow it up”. If that’s “easy to make out” I must have had a stroke. Or I need a new phone! 😂

I saw a better picture somewhere else. It says "RORS" on the toe and "Scotty Cameron" on the heel.

If it doesn't say "rors" near the toe and "Scotty Cameron" near the heel, then what does it say?

That’s exactly what it says. What’s your point. I was just making a joke.

Oh Scotty does - it runs around $4000 and is nearly impossible to get.

Now he just needs a TSi4 🙂

I just think it’s a “ story “ because he clearly has a better stroke snd feel with an anser shape. Be it TM or Cameron.  And I for one have loudly wished that he’d stick with an anser shape and stop the spider experience. 

Never a truer word spoken , for the life of me I just don’t understand why he’s using a slant neck, he just can’t square the blade at impact, plumbers neck all day long for Rory👍

I think it looks better too, but he doesn't think so and he has admitted his stroke can almost get yippy with a blade and gets indecisive with his aim.  I think this is probably one of those times where he just wants to look at something different for a week or two again and then back to the spider since he feels more comfortable with his aim and stroke.  I wonder if he'd like the Spider FCG with plumbers neck that Morikawa was using

 

Would've been cool to see the last putter he won majors with in the bag too haha

Can rory just buy a box set or top flites and call it a day?

Again , It doesn’t matter. It . Just tickled  me. I’ve had such a long day that I’m punch drunk , and may say something sillier than normal ( I know hard to imagine ).

I was on a silly roll myself this AM. It was a joke from the beginning, just kinda messing w/grm! I was on a real roll. Only one guy took it seriously, so I escaped mostly unscathed! Haha

Glad you got a little chuckle 😊

I highly doubt the sponsored equipment thing is a reason.  You honestly think he putts better with the Scotty and he's wanted to use it on tour this whole time where he can make millions and cement his legacy by winning tournaments, but he finally has the opportunity to use it in the Olympics of all places so he busts it out?   This is Rory just changing things up.  If he really putts better with it, he's going to start using it on tour.   Or have TM make him a copy.  

 

The Adidas thing is strange though.  

I will take a guess that Adidas has the contract with the Irish Olympic committee to supply uniforms to the team and that is what Rory is wearing.

2 under par opening round with it. A steady start to build from.

[MattP66]

Im intrigued by the scotty headcover , because usually if a guy uses one or two clubs from alternative manufacturer too their contracted one don't they normally cover them with the contracted ones head covers (thinking Wilson/Mizuno staffers who used TM drivers over the years) but the fact that Rory has a scotty cover in the bag would make me question if his contract is no longer (or was ever??) for all 14 clubs, either way I like the change cos its shows he still cares enough not too just stick with whatever he's given and he still wants too get the magic back 

[matty1802]

Does a players club contract apply with it being the Olympics, there deal may only apply to regular tour season?
