McIlroy to use a TaylorMade driver at The Players?

Published

on

Rory McIlroy said he’s ready for The Players Championships this week on Twitter, and his swing looks good. Looking a little closer, however, it appears the No. 2-ranked golfer in the Official World Rankings could be making an equipment change at TPC Sawgrass.

McIlroy has played all of 2017 with Callaway’s GBB Epic Sub Zero driver, but in the video he posted to Twitter he looks to be swinging TaylorMade’s 2017 M2.

At the Masters, McIlroy switched TaylorMade’s 2017 M2 fairway woods, making it seem as though the recently married Northern Irishman is smitten with TaylorMade’s new metal woods line at the moment.

    2017 M2? really? That thing looks about 500cc’s to me, just so massive. Couldn’t swing it for the life of me. Must be getting some good dough because I thought he was hitting that sub zero pretty well

    He should use the Verticle Groove driver. He’ll hit it straighter and further.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
