SPOTTED: Adam Scott’s new custom Miura irons at THE 2023 PLAYERS Championship

Published

on

Last year, at the 2022 Memorial Tournament, Adam Scott unveiled a set of custom 1-of-1 irons that were made by Miura and stamped with Scott’s personal logo on them. Scott took an immediate liking to those irons. He put them right into play at the Memorial that week, and he’s continued using them ever since.

But that might change this week.

On Tuesday at The 2023 Players Championship, Scott received a new set of custom Miura irons. While they’re quite similar in appearance to his previous set – at least, from the looks of the back cavity and address positions – they have a bit more Miura branding this time around (the Miura “M” logo in black on the sole, and Katsuhiro Miura’s Hanko stamp on the cavity in red).

While we don’t yet know what’s different about these particular irons, aside from the aesthetics, we do know that they’re fresh out of the packaging on Tuesday at TPC Sawgrass. They were yet to be hit at the time of GolfWRX taking in-hand photos.

We’ll keep you updated on whether Scott puts them in play come Thursday, but for now, check out our in-hand photos of the irons below.

      Them things are mega offset, look at the kink at the hosel!

    So an honest gear question … years ago I believe Callaway introduced some irons with much shorter hosels, thereby allowing them to reposition that weight elsewhere. How come that idea didn’t seem to take hold and irons (especially wedges) still have such long hosels?

    P.S. These Miura’s are beautiful, but I’m sure I couldn’t hit them to save my life!

      It was a viable idea – unfortunately, the shafts would break a lot from those very short hosels, so they had to quit making them.
      Which is why there’s so much more attention being paid to move weights around and put the weight towards the toe with inserts and plugs instead.

        Ahhh … makes perfect sense. Thank you!

    Just goes to show that offset is not something to demonize or is limited to game improvement clubs… it is simply a design characteristic that will fit certain swings and attack positions better than a low/zero offset design iron will. Furyk talked about this years ago too as someone who enjoyed a healthy bit of offset in his irons and wedges.

    I’m not much for blade irons, but those irons at address look very nice.

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.”
