TaylorMade’s bag-ier Staff Bags for Doral

Published

on

This week at the WGC-Cadillac Championship, TaylorMade is doing its official launch of the RocketBallz Stage 2 drivers, fairway woods and hybrids that five lucky GolfWRXers are attending (follow their progress here).

TaylorMade says this year’s line up is “RocketBallz-ier” than last year’s model — particularly the RBZ Stage 2 fairway woods, which the company claims are 10 yards longer than last year’s 17-yard-longer RBZ fairway woods thanks to a stronger, more flexible face material.

TaylorMade has also release a Facebook app that will allow users to create their TaylorMade Stage 2 Staff Bag with their “name-ier” name on it. After “liking” the page, users can enter a contest for a chance to win a real customized RBZ Stage 2-ier Staff Bag and a 3 wood.

Check out the photos we’ve snapped of TaylorMade staffers’ bags this week at Doral, which are “bag-ier” than their bags last week, as well as the special stand bags TaylorMade made for the “WRX-ier” contest winners.

    These are kind of ugly and boring. I liked it a lot better when they put the players’ driver specs on the bag a while back. That was pretty cool/informative.

    They actually thought of something lamer than the facepaint. Based on the number of tmag paid players vs. number of wins, they are not doing well at all. Other brands are smoking them !!! Those are the facts, more factzzzier than any hearsayier conjectureriers. Worse still is their ads featuring pros who imply that they play certain iron(zz) but in fact are playing MBs or CBs. More deceptiveier than everer . . .

    Its quirky but at the very least it is something entertaining. It helps that the TaylorMade clubs are winning, so they must be doing something right.

    I know they’re doing it for the kids, to bring more kids into the game, but it’s a but too childish for the adults to really take this seriously.

      It should be about bringing in the younger generation…The game won’t grow unless you bring in new talent. You’re not gonna be 42 forever K……

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

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.”
