Update 11/1, 4:30 p.m. ET: Rose confirmed via Instagram DM the irons are Miura and were built for him by Custom Golf Works at Gatwick Golf Studio, the company who handles all his club building.

Since 2020, when Justin Rose became an equipment free agent (aside from his putter deal with Axis1), the Englishman has used and tested a number of different iron models. In recent years, GolfWRX has spotted Rose with TaylorMade P730 irons, Mizuno MP-20 irons, TaylorMade P7MC irons, and Titleist 620 MB irons.

Well, it appears that another iron set might make it into his bag soon.

On Halloween on Monday, Rose took to his Instagram story to tease a new, custom set of blade-style “JR” irons.

Based on Instagram comments from our GolfWRX followers, the early predictions are that either Miura Golf (the company that makes Adam Scott’s custom-logo’d irons), or Artisan Golf (the company that makes Charl Schwartzel’s custom irons) manufactured the mysterious JR irons.

Since Rose has not officially confirmed the manufacturer, the Halloween irons remain a mystery for now, but we are working to confirm details. Head to our Instagram page to check out the irons for yourself, and we’ll update you with more photos and information as soon as possible.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

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.
