Looks like Rory is switching to Callaway woods and irons, Titleist ball and wedges, and Odyssey putter.

That's a shock to me; sure looked like TM had a leg up but still, I always assumed he'd go back to Titelist.  I'm guessing the dollars involved helped sway him.  Curious how long the transition will take.

interesting that is says "Though McIlroy has not agreed to new endorsements" in the article. If this means hes just playing the clubs that are best for his game,and there is no money involved. Surely this is 100 times better advertising for callaway and titelist than any other player that they pay to play there clubs.

Interesting move by Rory.  What I'm most interested to hear more about is the switch from the M2 he played at the end of the season to the Callaway Epic.  I have to assume there was a performance benefit there otherwise he wouldn't have switched.

Driver: Cobra FlyZ | 9.5 Degrees Draw | Fujikura Pro 63 Tour Spec
Fairway Wood: Cobra F7 3-4 Wood | 14.5 degrees | Fujikura Pro 65
Hybrid: Cobra F7 3-4H | 19 degrees | Fujikura Pro 75H
Irons: Srixon Z545 (4-Iron) | Srixon Z 765 (5-PW)
Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM6 | 50 F Grind | 54 M Grind | 58 K Grind
Putter: Odyssey O-Works 1W WBW

He'll still be paid by Callaway and Titleist but won't be under contract with either of them.

Did Callaway retain the Apex name when they sold Ben Hogan to Perry Ellis?  Inquiring minds are like, you know, wondering.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

The finish work in the crease could be better. Not that it matters for Rory, but on the shelf it would look a bit unfinished.

Rory's new Odyssey putter. He has used mallets sporadically in the past, mostly sticking with an Anser design.

Wonder how much he's getting paid for that bag sponsor. :-P  Reminds me of Ricky Bobby's car for his final race:

Well, it looks like he's comfortable enough to switch to Callaway's O-Works line of putters, which I'd interpret as a good sign. That new insert seems super funky, so if he feels comfortable gaming that and going away from his Scotty Cameron safety blanket, it's probably a good reflection on where he feels his game is.

Callaway X-24 10.5° Driver, Callaway Big Bertha 15° wood, Callaway XR 19° hybrid, Callaway X-24 24° hybrid, Callaway X-24 5i-9i, PING Glide PW 47°/12°, Cleveland REG 588 52°/08°, Callaway Mack Daddy PM Grind 56°/13°, 60°/10°, Odyssey Versa Jailbird putter w/SuperStroke Slim 3.0 grip, Callaway Chev Stand Bag, Titleist Pro-V1x ball

      I’m going to go out on a limb and say that maybe if Jason spent less time on his clothes and more on golf he would win more.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, my league starts next week, and I have a golf trip in two weeks. I am thinking no matter what I do, I will have to do my left leg and downswing turning piece. At least this turning piece helps me negate shanking the shot.  I probably shanked the foam ball about 10x in a row yesterday. Given, I was doing downswing work with not much caring about the body rotation. I was struggling to feel the same thing from two days ago. Where I was able to feel the arm piece and the turning piece working together. Yesterday, my body turn was just destroying my arms down piece.  That said, it’s not like I have a great feel for where the club is in space. Especially with how fast the downswing is. If I do the arms downswing piece with the turn piece better. I just feel those two things. Then after I am going into the finish I am like, "Oh, that was center of the clubface". I am glad the clubface found the ball. Maybe that is normal when you are trying to fix your mechanics. You are so hyper focused on the hitting the swing feel that the feel for the club is just gone.  I’ve watched YouTube videos where they talk about how correct lower-body mechanics give you the feeling of having tons of time in the downswing. I’m like, BS! there is no time. If anything, it feels faster now. 🤣 I do notice that the clubface stays more open past impact, less flippy. Not like I am trying to do that. Actually, with the downswing arm piece, I am trying to feel like I am rolling my wrist (closing the club a bit more).
