Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes
As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.
The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.
On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.
Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.
At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.
“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.
Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.
“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.
“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.”
In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.
On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.
According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.
“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”

I was told that the changes from the 2012 model RazorFit which I play, and think is amazing, are cosmetic only. They put a lot of R&D into that driver, and it shows. For me it was clearly the best head on the market..

Has anyone seen Callaway’s other wood presumably the X-Hot? Heard great things but can’t find any info……think they’d want to get the word out.

Yah go with something from wal-mart or a store like that. Just to start out and once you are good euongh to need better clubs then go on to higher brands at that point. Good luck! your going to need it, its one of the hardest sports out there. Was this answer helpful?

the next wave from Callaway will be called the Razr Fit Xtreme so they say…..more colorful to look at and a bit hotter off the face.

Phil said today from HSBC in China that he’s playing a ‘hotter’ set of woods that Callaway plan to release in 2013. His #3 wood was going a long way today!

@cobranut, Callaway Razr Fit drivers are the best drivers on tour……. Ask any pro and they will tell ya that they are.. they would switch if they could, but due to sponsor obligations, they cannot. I’ve hit just about every driver, TM, Cobra, titleist, Mizuno, and Nike… Razr Fit gives me the most out of shot shaping and hitting my shot right where i want it, unlike the rest of the drivers……

Focus on feel? Really? Taste begins with smell and feel begins with presentation. if you like something (like a color) you will FEEL better about playing it PERIOD. Although i’m not abig fan of Callaway I’m suprised it’s taken this long for a manufacturer to figure it out. IF you hit the ball flush all equipment FEELS good. If it comes in my favorite color all the better.

I feel the same as many of the comments above. I have emailed Callaway. I probably will not get a response, but at least they know how I (we) feel.
Callawy for years has lost focus for feel. The last time I thought it was cool to play Callaway was the Biggest Big Berta. These clubs may look cool, but if it takes colors to generate revenue, you may want to rethink your clubs performance.
I’m sure golf has hit somewhat of a wall when it comes to creating longer drivers, but dang, focus on feel!

Color is exciting. That said, what is the performance benefit of the new drivers?

Black is the stock option. As stated these are a few options for the uDesign custom system.

Purple or blue would due. Although I am not a big fan of Callaway so it would take more then a snazzy color for me to lug it around.

Purple I would definitely play the purple

kevmonton you are dead on, I switched all my gear to Cobra and am very happy I did, much better clubs which concentrate on performance first then they chose to paint the heads. Used to hit a Callaway FT-iZ and loved it but wanted more distance and control and none of the new gear they produce gave me that.

If Callaway was as concerned about the performance of their products they wouldn’t have to produce multi-colored clubs to generate sales…………..

I love my razr fit and was really excited about the extreeme, but no black, come on guys give me something traditional looking

u-design is only an option !! Callaway has it’s heart in the tradition of performance……….so why the hate that they have outdone the others in the color stakes. I can’t imagine they are going to turn their backs on the traditional Black Head ?
