After 20 years with TaylorMade and one year with Honma, Justin Rose has settled on an interesting mix. Paul Miller takes a closer look
A major champion, Olympic gold medalist, and an 12-time PGA Tour winner, there’s no doubt that Justin Rose is one of the greatest British players ever.
After ending a 20-year relationship with TaylorMade, Rose briefly signed with Honma but left after a year.
He now plays a mixed bag – including a return of some TaylorMade golf clubs. So, let’s take a look at that mixed bag that has just secured his 12th PGA Tour win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Rose had switched to Titleist’s latest GT driver range, after previously using their TSR model. But it now seems he trying something completely new – a Callaway Driver, and the older Ai Smoke model at that!
He only opts to use one fairway wood, which is the sightly old TaylorMade M6 model with 17° of loft in a 5-wood club head. He selects which woods to play depending on the conditions. For example at the St. Jude Championship only the 5 wood was in the bag, to go with the Mini Driver.
The Englishman now has a mixed set of irons moving from the Miura MC-502 irons – 7-PW to his 4-6 irons which are now Titleist 620 CBs.
Justin has three wedges in play, two of which are Titleist SM10s, a 52° and 56° and the Titleist Vokey Design WedgeWorks 60°.
He sticks with Titleist for his putter, Scotty Cameron Phantom T-5 Tour Prototype and he now plays a Titleist Pro V1x – having previously played the Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot (not available online)
In March 2025 he made a ball switch to the Titleist 2025 Pro V1x from the Pro V1x plus. Quoting on X ‘Basically the spin profile in the Titleist 2025 Pro V1x is better in my longer irons rather than the X plus.
