When Rory McIlroy makes a change to his golf bag a few people tend to take notice. But, when he recently switched to a set cavity backs the whole golf world was put on notice.
The Northern Irishman has been famed for playing a blade set of irons throughout his professional career.
Whether they were Titleist 660s he started golf journey with or the various Nike and TaylorMade offerings he has switched between, the same thing has been constant throughout; they were all blades.
But that wasn’t the case when he rocked up to the Crown Australian Open. He was seen gaming a set of TaylorMade P7CB irons.
After a T33 finish on the DP World Tour at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, the 29-time PGA Tour winner switched back to his RORS PROTO muscle-backs.
His switch back to blades is a timely reminder that seeking extreme forgiveness isn’t always the way to go.
