Spotted: Rory McIlroy’s Scotty Cameron T5.5 Proto putter
Rory McIlroy has been testing a few putters this year, and this week, we are seeing another new one at the FedEx St. Jude. The new flatstick is a Scotty Cameron T5.5 Prototype that is based off a retail Phantom X 5.5 putter. Rory has selected Scotty’s Chromatic Bronze color for the putter, a hue that he has been fond of and used on many of his flatsticks. Scotty’s Phantom X 5 has been very popular on tour with versions being used by the top pros on every tour.
The main body of the putter, including the “fangs,” is milled from stainless steel, while the sole plate is crafted from aluminum. Both pieces are held together with four button-head hex screws. Rory’s T5.5 features a single black siteline on the top and plain black rear flange that runs between the stainless fangs. Triple cherry bombs fill the back cavity, but are left naked with no paint fill except for the Circle T logo in the heel side bomb. Twin 10-gram Circle T weights are installed in the sole and the face looks to have a medium milling depth to give Rory the sound and feel he desires.
The putter is finished off with a gloss black shaft and Rory’s usual Super Stroke Zenergy Pistol Tour grip.

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations
In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:
“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.
Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”
And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons. They look really good for being a GI iron.”
- bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
- vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
- J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”

My initial check is for $27,000. This is the first time I’ve actually earned something, and I’m very happy about it. I’m going to work even harder from now on and I can’t wait for my paycheck sb-13 the following week. For further information, click the home tab.
