according to the Titleist website he plays both a 3 and 5 wood, could it be his 3 wood is a new 910 and his 5 wood a 906? some of those photos almost do look like a 909F3 though the the sole plate.

Rory Match Play 3wd.jpg

Caption: Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy tees off on the 17th hole while facing Miguel Angel Jimenez during the Match Play Championship golf tournament, Friday, Feb. 24, 2012, in Marana, Ariz.

I think this confirms that the 3-wood is the 906 and his 5-wood is likely the 910 (if he indeed has a 910 in the bag).

Dude ! We are not saying it's not a 906.  We are just saying that Rory confirmed playing a new FW.  We all heard it.  He didn't say what model it was or what's different about it.  He just said : Yes I have tested a new FW and put it in play.

Looks like the 906 with a Pro 95 shaft. Just a brand new one this week! Great shots on 15 and 17, the kid could win it this week!!

I also noticed that today and got extremely excited, which means that I belong on this website. I guess its been established that its a 910, the shaft looked like it was either white at the top and black below (Harrison mugen maybe?) or it is the same pro95 he has been using in his 3 wood for years. Either way I am an enormous dork.

Don't worry Thrillhouse, the fact that we're all talking about Rory's 3 wood on a Friday night shouldn't be worrying at all! :)

I rewinded and saw that it was a 906 on tv, but couldn't figure out the shaft - definitely seems like the ZCOM graphic Pro95. Maybe it's just a new 906 that he's playing and gaining distance with, a la Webb when he switched his 909D3 at Kapalua.

Wow, you guys must be psychic...I mean I was just looking at 3 woods today and there's already a post about it on the internet.  Oh, you mean the Rory who actually plays professional golf and not the 32 year old who is looking forward to his first full summer of golf in 7 years!  My bad ;)

On topic:  342 yards with a 3 wood is stupid, I might need to take another look at the 910...

Rory

He's been playing the 906 since the US Open, sorry I'm a huge rory fanboy and he's been using the 906 for a while, he might have just replaced with with a new 906 most likely since he doesn't change clubs often.

I was at the Match Play on Wednesday and followed Rory for 8 holes. I saw him hit 3 wood on 11 and on 15. I am 100% sure he has the 906 in the bag.

It's a 906. Could be a F4 instead of the F2 he was gaming before. Same shaft Fuji 95Pro.

Could just be a different loft.  I don't know what his loft was on the other 3 wood but this could be a 13* model.

Could Faldo just be mis-informed? Looked like the dependable 906 to me......

I hate to +1 a Miami fan but Faldo is wrong.
[/quote]

He's not.  I also heard the post round interview where Rory talked about the new fairway wood he just put in play.

First off DUDE....a few people on here thought the club was a 910 after hearing Faldo's comment including myself....Second, you are playing a word game....my point was and is....the club is 906.......not 910....regardless if the club is NEW or re-shafted.....so stop following me around with what you assume to be your correct answers!!!

You added nothing other than to be confrontational.....as quoted above....I'm wrong because Faldo  said new and I said looks like a 906 to me....guess we were both right.....

Rory is the lightning rod....I truly enjoy the kid and hopes he has alot of success....I'm in this thread because his gear selection is of interest to me....not to argue with people over he said/he said......my eyes saw a 906 club and I stated that....others thought differently......I digress :rolleyes:

Sorry if that came out wrong.  Nothing else to do here except talking about stuff we heard / saw on The Golf Channel since there's 10" of fresh snow on the ground.
Hey, I love Rory too ! :drinks:

pic calder posted looks like a 906, pic by furu looks like a 909, then the other pics are 910's.  He clearly rotates them depending on what shots he plans on using them for during the tournament/round. Ive rotated between 3 different drivers in 1 tournament sue to change in tee blocks, wind, anticipated pin loactions and such factors. Am very veyr interested to know what one he used on 17 thou

I'm curious to know your outcome in that tournament.  Did you get the desired outcome you were looking for and place well?

Just wanted to see if it's worth trying myself.
