Spotted: Rory McIlroy making iron changes
When its comes to accommodating its tour staff TaylorMade does a very good job (as do other OEMs) making sure their players have exactly what they want and need.
A great example of this were the original 700 Series “Protos” including the DJ, RORS, ROSE, and now the new P-7TW that Tommy Fleetwood is playing (and Tiger too).
Since players irons are precision instruments, it’s always news when a big name decides to make a switch — even if that switch seems like a minor adjustment. In this case, for Rory McIlroy, its appears there have been some big changes that are making their way into his bag as the season continues to ramp up.
Spotted this week at the Genesis Open being played at Riviera, are the TaylorMade P730s and P750s in Rory’s bag — both options are marked the same as the retail offering — with the exception of the RM on the 730s (who doesn’t love a little customization, right?. McIlroy had previously been playing P730-esque “Rors Proto” irons.
For a player of Rory’s ball striking ability, and a guy known for having no issues hitting towering irons shots, having the P750 3 and 4-irons is an interesting move. We have certainly witnessed a trend on tour at top end of the bag with hollow faster irons replacing traditional 2, 3, & even 4 irons but having larger cavity mid irons sneaking into the bag of a top-10 player in the world known for playing blades in an interesting development.
I guess when your “stock” 215 yard club is a 6-iron, having that extra help from that distance and beyond can only be a bigger advantage.
Finally on the iron front, the Ultsterman continues to game a TaylorMade P790 2-iron.

Might be the resolution, but are the blades P720 rather than P730?

He has had the P750 3 and 4-iron in his bag for quite sometime. This is not new news.

How is a 3 and 4 iron a mid iron? You just said it is normal to see Pros gaming more forgiving long irons.

He needs to get rid of that P790 2 iron. The times he’s sprayed it to the right should tell him something. But I guess he needs matching colors in his bag like all the rest of the fancy geeks, instead of getting the GAPR in there

The P790 2 iron is the least consistent driving iron I’ve ever hit, for my swing anyways.
